- The Commission's duties as a labor standards inspection organization

　The Personnel Commission, to fulfill its role as a labor standards inspection organization, conducts on-site and written surveys of the workplaces under its jurisdiction, grants permission for various matters based on requests from workplaces, and receives reports from workplaces, among its other duties.

The primary subject of its surveys concern government employee working hours, days off, leave, and other labor conditions, and machinery, devices, and chemicals used at its workplaces.

The Commission grants permission when workplaces wish to have their employees perform day/night watch duty; authorizes exclusions from advance notice of dismissal when terminating employees for disciplinary reasons; and receives notifications on the installation of boilers, radiological equipment, or other such machinery.　

　Reports from workplaces include appointments of health supervisors; reports on employee death, injury, or illness; and reports on the results of regular health check-ups.　　

　These inspection and research activities help the Commission understand the labor environment at workplaces and the working situation of employees. In the event that the Commission discovers issues concerning health, safety, or labor conditions, it provides workplace managers with guidance meant to resolve these issues.
