As a result, in 1988 Japanese lawyers and doctors set up an "Overwork Hotline # 110" to provide counsel for those in trouble from overwork. This campaign brought not only social recognition that the problem was increasing in seriousness, but also that the issue was one that concerned the whole of Japanese society: government, industry and labor.
1988 年，日本全國律師與醫師設置了「過勞死電話專線 110 號全國網絡」，提供有關過勞死的電話諮商，這次活動後，社會認知逐漸擴大，使得過勞現象成為政府、企業主和勞工的共同課題。
