title: [Report on occupational health and safety practice, level 4].
abstract: Recently, because international standardization systems have been set up in many fields, it is necessary for Japanese companies to employ persons who have specific knowledge and techniques in regards to occupational health and safety. In this paper, therefore, we discuss Occupational Health and Safety Practice, Level 4, and try to compare it with Japanese licences. The standard was developed by the Occupational Health and Safety Lead Body (OHSLB) in England. This standard is intended for occupational health and safety practitioners working in general health and safety. We conclude that the training system for occupational health and safety practitioners in Japan must be developed more fully.
