Causes and Measures of Water Pollution [Environmental Measures VOL.4]

We will introduce the causes and measures of water pollution that have a significant impact on life and the environment.

During Japan's period of rapid economic growth, pollution-related diseases caused by environmental pollution continue to cast a dark shadow over victims, residents of affected areas, and the environment. Among pollution-related diseases, the four major pollution diseases are Minamata disease, Second Minamata disease, Yokkaichi asthma, and Itai-itai disease, with the latter three being caused by water pollution, excluding Yokkaichi asthma. **Minamata Disease** This pollution-related disease occurred in Minamata Bay, Kumamoto Prefecture. It resulted in serious health damage due to the consumption of fish contaminated by organic mercury discharged from factories. It is also referred to as the origin of pollution. **Second Minamata Disease** This pollution-related disease occurred in the Agano River basin in Niigata Prefecture. It resulted in serious health damage due to the consumption of fish contaminated by organic mercury discharged from factories. **Itai-itai Disease** This pollution-related disease occurred in the Jintsu River basin in Toyama Prefecture. It resulted in serious health damage due to the consumption of rice grown in water contaminated by cadmium discharged from mines. This time, I would like to address water pollution, which has a significant impact on life and the environment.

Introducing a thorough exploration of the appeal, from convenient techniques to ideas, for using wooden frames and oil-proof containers (oil pans) for liquid storage, leak prevention, and water conservation!

Are you having trouble storing liquid containers like drums? Direct placement... worried about liquid leakage if the container falls over. Pit... difficult to rearrange. Metal oil pans... too heavy to move. Leak-proof pallets... too tall, making it hard to reach the drums. The "Rigid Lock Quick Berm" will solve your problems! 【Features】 ■ Prevents the spread of liquid leakage from drums. ■ When the wall is collapsed, forklifts and hand forks can easily access. ■ Suitable not only for containers but also for storing generators and vehicles. ■ Can be folded down to a compact size, so storage space is not an issue. ■ Convenient for sudden layout changes. ■ Excellent oil and chemical resistance. ■ Flame-retardant compliant product.

• Other store equipment and supplies

The Pig Portable Utility Tray is a foldable utility tray.

It's convenient to carry and doesn't take up much storage space.

We will introduce the basics of risk assessment and safety protective equipment to ensure the safety of workers.

Since 1988, the number of casualties from workplace accidents has been decreasing, but since 2000, the decline has plateaued. In White Paper Vol. 2 [Winter Season Sees a Surge, Preventing Falls], we addressed the causes and preventive measures for falls, which are the most common workplace accidents. But why do workplace accidents occur in the first place? This time, we would like to focus on protecting the safety of workers and discuss the mechanisms behind workplace accidents and their prevention.

The number of fall accidents during the winter period (from December to February) is about twice the annual average. This explains the causes and countermeasures.

Labor accidents (work-related injuries) refer to situations where workers are injured, become ill, or die due to work or commuting. Specifically, the following situations are included: 1. Occupational accidents: When workers are injured, become ill, or die due to their work. 2. Commuting accidents: When workers are injured, become ill, or die due to commuting. To reduce labor accidents, there is a medium-term plan established by the government, businesses, and workers that focuses on specific issues, and this information is useful for the prevention and countermeasures of labor accidents. Additionally, businesses are required to continue their efforts to ensure a safe workplace environment. This time, we will focus on the most common type of labor accident, falls, and introduce measures for their prevention.

Introducing case studies on ISO 14001 measures. This is a white paper that can assist with updates and training. Please feel free to check it out.

ISO 14001 is a standard aimed at establishing a framework that allows organizations to achieve sound environmental performance by managing the "impact of their business activities and the products/services resulting from them on the environment" in alignment with their own "environmental policies and objectives." There are four main areas of focus: "understanding environmental impacts," "risk management and planning," "operating the PDCA cycle," and "creating an environmental manual." Through these efforts, organizations can enhance their image and create business opportunities by contributing to environmental conservation. This white paper aims to introduce environmental changes, disaster cases, and their countermeasures, serving as a resource to assist you in preparing for ISO 14001 acquisition and renewal, with monthly updates planned. This time, based on the environmental changes and disaster cases that occurred in 2023, I hope to provide insights that will help you in acquiring and improving your ISO 14001 in 2024.

Do you have any concerns or requests regarding wired bed exit sensors? × Tangling or tripping over wired cables × Cable disconnection or damage × Worrying about forgetting to turn the switch back on after temporarily stopping the sensor. × Wanting to be notified of bed exits even from a location far from the nurse call outlet. Such concerns can be resolved simply by connecting our wireless nurse call linked set to the sensor! Our wireless nurse call linked set allows you to connect bed exit sensors like "Ugo-kun," "Foldable Thin Matta-kun," "Ayumi-chan," and "Just Place Pole-kun" to transmitters and receivers, reducing wiring around the bed area, alleviating concerns about tripping or falling due to cables, and contributing to a tidier work environment. Furthermore, it enables the use of bed exit sensors even from locations far from the nurse call outlet, allowing for more flexible equipment placement.

A truck berth is a space in a logistics warehouse where trucks can be parked to load and unload goods. By installing sensors in the truck berth to display the occupancy status, it is possible to quickly guide trucks to available spaces. Additionally, sharing the occupancy status with warehouse workers allows for a swift start to loading and unloading, improving overall productivity and reducing truck waiting times. 【Target Products】 - Occupancy detection sensor HM-UX2/UW2 (ceiling-mounted, ultrasonic type) ■ Benefits of Implementation Benefit 1: The HM-UX2 can be installed at high positions without height restrictions. Benefit 2: By setting the detection distance higher than a person's height, false detections caused by people are reduced. Benefit 3: The HM-UX2 is not affected by the floor surface, eliminating false detections caused by small stones or unevenness on the floor. Benefit 4: For locations with many parking spaces, the communication-type ultrasonic sensor HM-UW2 is recommended.
