Periodic health examinations
　We conduct periodic health examinations for employees within the company. In addition to the legally required items, we also provide optional tests, such as for tumor markers. After periodic health examinations are conducted, we cooperate with the NOF Health Insurance Association to efficiently and effectively conduct specified health checks and specified health guidance.

Mental health initiatives
　NOF is taking comprehensive initiatives for the prevention and alleviation of mental health troubles and supporting those suffering from such troubles until they have sufficiently recovered to return to work.
　More specifically, these initiatives are taken in teamwork with industrial physicians specializing in mental health to ensure early detection and proper solutions for mental health problems by providing stress checks, setting up out-of-house counseling facilities, and institutionalizing a “return-to-work support program” to support persons absent from work for a long time or on sick leave on account of mental health disorders in ensuring their smooth return to work after recuperation.
　In fiscal 2022, mental health care (line care) education was conducted for 33 participants as part of training for career-track employees promoted to manager. Measures are also implemented to maintain and improve the mental health of employees through supervisors.
