[For Civil Engineering and Construction Supervisors] Setting Standards for Work Suspension Due to Bad Weather on Construction Sites
In the construction industry, "bad weather" such as heavy rain and typhoons is one of the threats that jeopardizes the safety of workers and the work plan at the site. According to the Labor Safety and Health Act, (Prohibition of Work During Bad Weather) Article 522 When a business operator conducts work at a height of 2 meters or more, if there is a forecast of danger due to bad weather such as strong winds, heavy rain, or heavy snow, they must not engage workers in that work. However, even though "bad weather" can be described in one word, perceptions of it vary from person to person. Therefore, site supervisors need to establish specific numerical values or indicators to define what constitutes "bad weather" and set criteria for halting work, ensuring that all parties involved have the same understanding. So, how should these criteria be established? Table of Contents 1. What is the specific definition of "bad weather"? 2. Examples of work affected by rain and strong winds 3. Considerations for setting work stoppage criteria 4. Let's understand the weather information at the work site! *For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.

[Free Distribution] Preventing Lightning Damage Part 1: Basic Knowledge and Evacuation Action Guidebook
The humid rainy season has arrived, and many people may be thinking about measures against heavy rain, such as linear precipitation zones. However, it is easy to get distracted by the heavy rain and not fully grasp the threat of lightning. It is said that the voltage of a lightning strike can reach 100 million volts, which is equivalent to 1 million times that of household electricity. In Japan, it is reported that there are over 1 million lightning strikes annually, which increases the risk for professions that often work outdoors, such as civil engineering and construction. As a private weather company, we believe it is important to share knowledge related to weather with everyone, even in small ways. Therefore, we have created a guidebook titled "Preventing Lightning Damage! (Part 1) Basic Knowledge and Evacuation Action Guide." We encourage you to take a look and use it for ensuring safety at your workplace or as training material. *For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.*
