In light of the recent increase in heatstroke-related fatalities due to extreme heat, the Labor Safety and Health Regulations will be revised starting June 1, 2025, making heatstroke prevention measures mandatory in the workplace. This is particularly important in the construction industry, where outdoor work is common, and it is expected that each worker is mindful of heatstroke prevention on a daily basis. However, to safely navigate summer work, it is essential to implement heatstroke prevention measures not only at the individual level but also as a systematic approach. Sysmet Co., Ltd. has created a "Heatstroke Prevention Handbook" as a private meteorological company. This handbook is divided into two parts: "Basic Knowledge" and "Prevention Measures." The latter part, which focuses on prevention measures, introduces examples of heatstroke prevention strategies that can be realized through the "Natural Disaster Prevention System ZEROSAI," which allows for centralized management of weather information observation, forecasting, and notification. Please feel free to utilize this handbook as training material or for safety meetings, tailored to the safety measures of each site. *For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.*

Due to the mandatory implementation of heatstroke prevention measures in the workplace, we have seen an increase in inquiries regarding heatstroke at our company.

In recent years, there have been increasing opportunities to feel summer-like heat starting around May. This raises concerns about heatstroke. Particularly in the construction industry, where outdoor work is common, each worker is likely to be mindful of heatstroke prevention on a daily basis. However, to safely navigate summer work, it is important not only to have individual measures but also to implement systematic heatstroke prevention strategies. Sysmet Co., Ltd. has created the "Heatstroke Prevention Handbook: Basic Knowledge Edition" as a private weather company. This book is structured in two parts: "Basic Knowledge Edition" and "Utilization Edition." The Basic Knowledge Edition clearly conveys the current state of heatstroke and the knowledge necessary for creating effective systems.

Table of Contents 1. What is a Time-Lapse Video? 2. How to Utilize Time-Lapse Videos 3. Easily Collect Time-Lapse Video Footage with a Webcam! 4. Conclusion ■1. What is a Time-Lapse Video? First, "time-lapse" is one of the camera shooting techniques. Literally translated, it means "time passing," but it is generally referred to as "low-speed shooting." When still images or short videos taken at regular intervals by a camera are connected together, a "time-lapse video" is created. When watching television or video-sharing sites, you may come across footage where clouds move at an incredible speed or cars travel along a road rapidly. *For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.*
