About the Society

The JAOHL was formed and operated primarily by Kindai University Faculty of Law professor Takenori Mishiba, who was also one of the promoters (as mentioned below). It was launched upon the foundation of the activities and experiences of the Occupational Safety and Health Law Research Society (formed in 2012), which has produced about 800 students of its course including industrial physicians, labor and social security attorneys, public health and hospital nurses, counselors, company human resources staff members, and attorneys.
