[Free Distribution] Preventing Lightning Damage Part 1: Basic Knowledge and Evacuation Action Guidebook

Please use this for ensuring workplace safety and training materials.

The humid rainy season has arrived, and many people may be thinking about measures against heavy rainfall, such as linear precipitation zones. However, it is easy to get caught up in the heavy rain and not fully grasp the threat of lightning, isn't it? It is said that the voltage of a lightning strike can reach 100 million volts, which is equivalent to 1 million times that of household electricity. In Japan, it is reported that there are more than 1 million lightning strikes in a year during peak times, making the risk higher for professions that often work outdoors, such as civil engineering and construction. As a private weather company, we believe it is important to share knowledge related to weather with everyone, even in a small way, and we have created a guidebook titled "Preventing Lightning Damage! (Part 1) Basic Knowledge and Evacuation Action Guide." We encourage you to take a look at it and utilize it for ensuring safety in the workplace or as training materials. *For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.*

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
