About this mini test
This page is a simple self-check page for people who want to work in Japan in the construction field under the Specified Skilled Worker status.
The construction field includes categories such as civil engineering, building, and infrastructure/equipment. Even after passing the exams, your current status, employer, job duties, employment contract, support system, and application documents must be checked carefully.
What is the SSW Construction field?
The Specified Skilled Worker Construction field is for people who work in Japan’s construction industry. Because the field has multiple categories, it is important to check whether your experience, exam category, and actual job duties match.
This mini test focuses on general safety, protective equipment, reporting, workplace Japanese, and points to check before applying. It does not explain technical construction procedures.
