| Research Abstract |
We discuss a method to evaluate the effectiveness of risk management activities in long-term care facilities for the elderly in Japan. We discovered that the numbers of work-related accidents at these care facilities decreased after the following measures were implemented : A risk manager categorized accident risks and evaluated them according to the type of accident on a regular basis, by using the evaluation sheet that we had developed. The risk manager also similarly evaluated the effectiveness of the preventive measures adopted. We studied the reports sent to and feedback received from the owners of these facilities and the staff communications regarding this program. By consolidating these views, we concluded that the evaluation program was effective in lowering accident risks in such facilities.
