The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare will strengthen the obligation for heatstroke measures with penalties starting in June 2025 to address the increasing trend of heatstroke incidents in the workplace. Failure to implement or manage these measures may result in guidance, correction, and penalties under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. One effective measure against heatstroke is the installation of a windbreak room (Protect Eco Room). ■ Effects and Benefits 1. Blocks the intrusion of hot winds from outside, improving air conditioning efficiency. 2. Enhances the cooling effect of break rooms and waiting areas by retaining cool air in air-conditioned spaces. 3. Can also be utilized as a temporary cooling space for emergency treatment. 4. Installing a windbreak room that partitions the space increases air conditioning efficiency, enables measures against heat and heatstroke, and contributes to energy savings. 5. Maintaining a comfortable working environment is expected to improve work efficiency and productivity, and reduce errors. 6. By ensuring the health and safety of employees, a decrease and improvement in turnover rates is anticipated. ■ Protect Eco Room is recommended for the following locations: Break rooms Entrances and exits of warehouses and logistics centers Loading and unloading areas of manufacturing plants Temporary waiting areas in production sites, etc.
