Violation
On June 7, 2023, a disaster occurred where a technical intern worker performing wood processing with a circular saw cut off his right thumb and little finger, and fractured his index, middle, and ring fingers of the right hand, while there was no wood processing machine work supervisor present in the factory and no direct supervision. As a result, on April 26, 2024, both Watanabe Ltd. and its representative director were fined 200,000 yen each for violations of the Industrial Safety and Health Act.
