In 2022, the Serious Accident Punishment Act was implemented, emphasizing the responsibility of managers at workplaces where serious accidents occur in order to reduce serious accidents that occur frequently throughout the industry and promote worker safety. Currently, it is applied only to workplaces with 50 or more workers, but from 2024, it will be applied to small businesses with fewer than 50 workers. Although these small-scale workplaces act as steppingstones in various fields, the rate of serious accidents is high due to the relatively poor environment and lack of human resources and financial capabilities. In this regard, we intend to examine effects of the Serious Accident Punishment Act on small-scale information and communication companies and to drive countermeasures.
