Now is the time for flood prevention measures during the rainy season Part 1 [Environmental Measures VOL.5]

I will answer the question, "How should companies prepare for flood damage prevention?" Now, before the rainy season begins, let's prepare for typhoons and heavy rains.

Flood damage poses a significant risk to businesses. In recent years, the damage caused by floods and heavy rains has increased, greatly impacting corporate performance and sustainability. For example, the damage from the heavy rains in western Japan in July 2018 and Typhoon No. 19 in October 2019 is still fresh in our memories, and it is important to learn from these cases. Every time we see news about corporate facilities such as offices, warehouses, factories, and stores suffering from flooding, many stakeholders may worry, "Is our company going to be okay?" Measures against flooding have become extremely important for business continuity. To address the question of "How should companies implement flood prevention measures?", we will introduce the basics of flood prevention in two parts. Now, before the rainy season begins, let’s prepare for typhoons and heavy rains.

Measures against flooding damage caused by typhoons and heavy rain! Uses superabsorbent polymer *Video explanation available.

● It is a water-absorbing, inflatable, bag-shaped simple dam. ● Recommended for flood prevention measures against heavy rain and typhoons. ● Before absorbing water, it is lightweight and easy to handle, and can be stored compactly. It won't be a nuisance even if kept on hand. ● When in use, fill the container with about 20 liters of water for each Pig Water Bag, and knead it by hand while allowing it to absorb water. It will inflate in about 5 minutes. ● The Pig Water Bags can be stacked up to three layers. ● If unopened, the shelf life is approximately 5 years. *Currently, we are offering a document summarizing recent trends in flood damage.

• Disaster prevention supplies

A clean, reusable, aesthetically pleasing water-specific sock-like absorbent material. It can be used to prevent water leaks and condensation from refrigerators, freezers, and cold cases.

- Made of polypropylene, it has the effect of suppressing mold growth, allowing for safe use over a long period. - By squeezing out the absorbed water and allowing it to air dry, it can be reused. Please avoid sun drying or using a dryer. Reuse is recommended up to three times. - Even after reuse, it maintains its shape well and is less prone to bacterial growth, which helps control odors. - It is flexible and fits well around the refrigerator and in corners. - The polypropylene cover is resistant to tearing and durable.

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.

―― Is attendance management becoming a "burden" without you realizing it? A seminar to quickly learn about common issues and their solutions ―― We will be holding our attendance management web seminar in October, which takes place several times a year! The content is new, so whether you have participated in our webinars before or not, please feel free to join us. Date and Time: October 15 (Wednesday) 13:00- October 22 (Wednesday) 11:00- *Both days will cover the same content *Please check the link below for registration. In this seminar, we will recreate common situations in the workplace in a short drama format for easy understanding, and introduce specific solutions to each issue. This content is especially recommended for those who think, "I'm not struggling now, but I want to know information for the future." Common workplace "situations" can be a trigger for improvement. We will clearly present the challenges and countermeasures of attendance management. Recommended for: ❏ Those who take a long time to compile monthly attendance ❏ Those who tend to postpone compliance with legal revisions ❏ Those who currently have no major complaints but want to know hints for improvement ❏ Those who want to refer to initiatives and examples from other companies
