事業者は、その労働時間の状況その他の事項が労働者の健康の保持を考慮して厚生労働省令で定める要件に該当する労働者(次条第一項に規定する者及び第六十六条の八の四第一項に規定する者を除く。以下この条において同じ。)に対し、厚生労働省令で定めるところにより、医師による面接指導(問診その他の方法により心身の状況を把握し、これに応じて面接により必要な指導を行うことをいう。以下同じ。)を行わなければならない。

A worker must undergo the face-to-face guidance provided by the employer pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraphs; provided, however, that this does not apply if a worker who does not desire to undergo the face-to-face guidance by the physician designated by the employer undergoes face-to-face guidance by another physician that is equivalent to the face-to-face guidance under the provisions of that paragraph and submits a document to the employer certifying the results.

労働者は、前項の規定により事業者が行う面接指導を受けなければならない。ただし、事業者の指定した医師が行う面接指導を受けることを希望しない場合において、他の医師の行う同項の規定による面接指導に相当する面接指導を受け、その結果を証明する書面を事業者に提出したときは、この限りでない。

An employer, pursuant to Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, must record the results of the face-to-face guidance under the provisions of paragraph (1) and the proviso of the preceding paragraph.

事業者は、厚生労働省令で定めるところにより、第一項及び前項ただし書の規定による面接指導の結果を記録しておかなければならない。

An employer, based on the results of the face-to-face guidance provided for in paragraph (1) or the proviso of paragraph (1) or the proviso paragraph (2), must hear the opinions of a physician regarding necessary measures to help maintain the health of the worker pursuant to Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

事業者は、第一項又は第二項ただし書の規定による面接指導の結果に基づき、当該労働者の健康を保持するために必要な措置について、厚生労働省令で定めるところにより、医師の意見を聴かなければならない。

On finding that it is necessary to do so in light of the opinion of a physician under the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the employer must take measures including changing the location of work, changing the work content, shortening the working hours, reducing the frequency of night work in accordance with the actual circumstances of the worker concerned, along with conducting appropriate measures including reporting the opinion of the physician to the Health Committee, Safety and Health Committee or Committee for the Improvement of Establishing Working Hours, etc..

事業者は、前項の規定による医師の意見を勘案し、その必要があると認めるときは、当該労働者の実情を考慮して、就業場所の変更、作業の転換、労働時間の短縮、深夜業の回数の減少等の措置を講ずるほか、当該医師の意見の衛生委員会若しくは安全衛生委員会又は労働時間等設定改善委員会への報告その他の適切な措置を講じなければならない。
