NHK Osaka Correspondent – Request for Confirmation of Facts Regarding Concealed Labor Accidents

Date/Time: March 10, 2025, 14:57

From: ATOMURA atomura.k-gs@nhk.or.jp

To: Shunsuke Kimura shukku9998@gmail.com

Dear Mr. Kimura,

Thank you very much for your prompt reply.

The concealment of labor accidents by companies is something that cannot be tolerated in society. Therefore, I would first like to confirm the basic information and facts.

For that purpose, it would be greatly appreciated if you could provide materials that clarify such matters.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Keisuke Atomura
