Any business, such as a company, school, facility attracting customers, or restaurant, needs to take disaster prevention measures to protect employees and customers in the event of a disaster. The person who takes the lead in promoting disaster prevention measures within such a business is the “Business Disaster Prevention Leader.”
In order to promote the registration of workplace disaster prevention leaders and the utilization of leaders in companies, Tokyo has implemented a unique system called the “Workplace Disaster Prevention Leader Excellent Company Certification System,” which is aimed at companies that are actively working to utilize workplace disaster prevention leaders.
