• Consult with your boss, the Health Supervisor, or Safety and Health Promoter, etc. at your company.

(See 4-12.). Alternatively, ask a Japanese speaker whom you can trust to help you consult with a Labor Standards Inspection Office*1.

I am worried about being exposed to danger because I have to do unfamiliar work straightaway.
My boss at my company is always saying harsh things to me or being violent toward me, and I am very scared. What should I do?
