[Case Study] Responding to BCP formulation requests from automobile manufacturers with water stop boards.
Lightweight, quick, easy, and convenient flood prevention product compared to sandbags: Folding flood barrier F-shield.
Mr. Yamamoto is responsible for the overall safety management operations of the company in the Safety and Environmental Department of the Production Headquarters at Special Spring Industry Co., Ltd. "There are first-class rivers, the Inagawa and the Darokugawa, near our factory, and when typhoons or linear precipitation zones occur, there is a risk of these rivers flooding. In fact, a major typhoon passed through Hyogo Prefecture in 2018, and at that time, we were really on the brink of river flooding. Therefore, it was necessary to present a sufficient BCP (Business Continuity Plan) to our customer, the automobile manufacturers, in preparation for potential river flooding." "The foldable water stop board F-shield is lighter than sandbags, making it easy to transport and set up. Unlike sandbags, which require the cumbersome task of filling and emptying with water, it can be easily installed and stored just by locking the fittings." A new disaster prevention warehouse has been established right next to the factory's main gate, where the foldable water stop board F-shield is stored, ensuring that it can be set up immediately in case of an emergency." "I want to earn the trust of our customer, the automobile manufacturers, by presenting a sufficient BCP (Business Continuity Plan) in preparation for river flooding."
