Basic Knowledge of Safety Protective Equipment to Ensure Worker Safety [Environmental Measures VOL.3]

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.

The "HM-S6" is an embedded park sensor that detects vehicles through changes in magnetic flux and responds to various situations from passing to stationary vehicles. It can be used for the opening and closing of input doors at waste treatment plants, as well as for gates that vehicles pass through and outdoor parking applications. It can also be installed on rebar and steel plates. 【Features】 ■ Resistant to the effects of natural environments such as rain, snow, temperature changes, and geomagnetism ■ Protection rating IP68 reduces the risk of water ingress ■ Ten times the load capacity compared to conventional embedded park sensors (based on our comparison) ■ Can distinguish between vehicles even when they pass continuously ■ Can be installed on rebar and steel plates *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Starting from October 2025, Panasonic's indoor units for office and store air conditioners will be renewed! In this renewal, all models will come standard with "100 times nanoe X." This not only enhances comfort with commercial air conditioning but also contributes to improving air quality. Additionally, improvements in installation efficiency to enhance on-site work productivity and a strengthened lineup to accommodate diverse spaces have been implemented. The new indoor units are equipped with high concentrations of nanoe X as standard! They demonstrate a high effectiveness in purifying indoor air during air conditioner operation, providing a safer and more comfortable environment for office and store users and employees. Furthermore, the center of the suction inlet and the center of the hanging bolt have been unified. This allows for the combined use of canvas ducts and panels, improving installation efficiency. If you have any questions or would like a quote, please feel free to contact us. We will fully support you in replacing your commercial air conditioning!

We will be exhibiting at the "Advanced Construction, Disaster Prevention, and Mitigation Technology Fair in Kumamoto 2025," which will be held for two days starting from November 19 at Gran Messe Kumamoto (Masaki Town, Kamimashiki District, Kumamoto Prefecture).
