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.

Based on practical experience in support companies and business companies, SBS Marketing Co., Ltd. provides consulting services related to marketing, sales promotion, and customer acquisition mainly in the BtoB (business-to-business) sector. On September 23, 2025 (Tuesday), they published a page titled "Easier to Optimize the Allocation of Management Resources!? 'Product Portfolio Management (PPM)'". 'Product Portfolio Management' allows for the optimal allocation of management resources by evaluating one's business along two axes: "market growth potential" and "market share," and classifying it into four quadrants. The page explains the benefits that can be realized by utilizing it, the two axes and four quadrants that make it up, and the associated risks. (Page Overview: Excerpts) ■ What is 'Product Portfolio Management'? ■ What can be achieved through 'PPM'? ■ Components of 'PPM' (vertical and horizontal axes) ■ Components of 'PPM' (four quadrants) ■ Two risks associated with 'PPM' (DL content only) ▼ For more details, please visit this page. https://sbsmarketing.co.jp/blog/ppm-2025-09/

An article has been published about the case of introducing the expense reimbursement system "Rakuraku Seisan" at TSP Corporation. ~ In the case of TSP ~ Before the introduction, there were challenges such as dealing with the "paper" sent from various locations and the reliance on specific individuals for the tasks. After the introduction, the input and checking of FB data, which used to take 2 to 3 hours, can now be completed in just 5 minutes. Additionally, the mindset of the accounting department, which was previously reliant on manual entry, has changed. [Case Overview] ■ Challenges before introduction - Dealing with "paper" sent from various locations, reliance on specific individuals ■ Key points of introduction - A robust support system for setup and operation - Easy to start from a small scale both financially and functionally *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

The facility operating the nurse call system has made the bed exit sensor wireless, allowing it to notify in conjunction with the nurse call. By simply connecting the mat sensor "Foldable Thin Matt-kun," the body movement call "Ugo-kun," and the wheelchair body movement call "Ayumi-chan" to the transmitter HB-RS, you can make the bed exit sensor wireless. The infrared sensor "Just Place Pole-kun" has the transmitter HB-RS built-in. 【Features】 ○ Wireless conversion by simply connecting existing sensors to the transmitter HB-WSK. ○ The bed exit sensor notifies wirelessly in conjunction with the nurse call. ○ Up to 5 transmitters can be registered with one receiver. ○ The communication distance between the transmitter and receiver is approximately 10 meters. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Full and empty management refers to the real-time display of parking availability and the management of efficient use of parking spaces. By utilizing Hotron's sensors, drivers can quickly discover available parking spaces, achieving efficient parking lot operations. ■ For large parking lots, the "floor management method" and "block management method," which focus on cost reduction, are recommended. Sensors are installed at regular intervals to count the number of vehicles passing through. This method offers the advantage of easy installation and low costs. 【Target Products】 - Vehicle Count Sensor CCS2 - Ultrasonic Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 ■ For smaller scale operations, the "space management method," which installs sensors in each parking space to display availability with high accuracy, is recommended. By ensuring accurate full and empty displays, it helps prevent unnecessary entry of new vehicles and enables safe parking lot operations. 【Target Products】 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-LC6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-LC7/LC7-FLS - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-S6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-S8
