Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance

Injury, illness, disability, and death which occur at work or while commuting to and from work are covered by a national insurance scheme called Workers' Accident Compensation Insurance (Rosai Hoken). The insurance covers every worker employed by a company (university), including part-time and temporary workers, regardless of their residential or visa status. The University of Tokyo will cover the entire cost of insurance premiums.

If you fall ill or are injured while working or commuting to work, even if you are not sure whether your injury or illness can be covered by Rosai Hoken, first talk to Tokyo College team. Please remember that if your injury or illness is acknowledged as work-related, then all related medical expenses will be covered by Rosai Hoken and you won’t be charged for your medical bills until your treatment is completed.
