In light of the recent increase in heatstroke-related fatalities due to extreme heat, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has announced that it will amend the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations, which will take effect on June 1, 2025. This article provides a brief overview of "what measures will be necessary." Table of Contents 1. The Importance of Initial Response 2. Measures to be Taken by Employers (1) Establishment of a System (2) Creation of Implementation Procedures (3) Awareness Raising Among Stakeholders 3. Efficient Heatstroke Measures Using Chat Tools and Centralized Management Tools *For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.

Thank you for always watching. In recent years, abnormal weather has been increasing, and disasters caused by heavy rain and typhoons are unavoidable. However, anticipating "how to act" and "what measures to take" in advance greatly influences whether damage can be minimized. This time, we will introduce a "Timeline (Disaster Prevention Action Plan)" that anticipates and plans "how to act" and "what measures to take" in chronological order, as well as an automatic notification service that links business chat with weather forecasts from Sysmet. Table of Contents 1. What is a "Timeline (Disaster Prevention Action Plan)"? 2. Image of the "Timeline (Disaster Prevention Action Plan)" 3. Let's automatically notify weather information through business chat *For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.

Thank you for always watching. The last weather-related information for 2024 will introduce a theme unique to winter. As December has arrived, the temperature has dropped significantly. During this time, the term "cold air aloft" is often heard in weather forecasts. The phenomena of cold air aloft and clouds observed by the Himawari weather satellite can be viewed as images on the Japan Meteorological Agency's website. In fact, those images contain indicators that suggest the strength of the cold air aloft, in addition to the movement and shape of the clouds. This is referred to as "offshore distance." This time, I would like to introduce this "offshore distance." It may sound like a difficult term that is not very familiar, but it can actually be easily checked. Table of Contents 1. What is offshore distance? 2. Offshore distance and the strength of cold air aloft 3. Conclusion *For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.

The journal "Workboat" July 2024 issue <No. 356> published by the Japan Workboat Association has featured the "Natural Disaster Prevention System ZEROSAI" NETIS registration number QS-150021-VE. For more details, please see the link below. https://www.s-jwa.or.jp/wvmagazine/index.html

Thank you for always watching. This time, I would like to address the topic of heat stroke. Some of you may be thinking, "What? It's still spring, and we're talking about heat stroke?" However, considering that the number of heat stroke cases tends to increase around May, it's not too early to start preparing now. *For more details, please visit our company website: https://product.sysmet.jp/kishou/k_165.html Also, please feel free to download the catalog.

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.

Today, June 27th at 5:07 AM, the Japan Meteorological Agency announced a forecast indicating that a linear precipitation belt will occur in northern Kyushu from the night of the 27th to the morning of the 28th【half-day forecast】. For more details, please visit the Japan Meteorological Agency's website below. 【Weather Information No. 3 regarding heavy rain and strong winds for the northern Kyushu region (including Yamaguchi Prefecture)】 Please avoid going out at night as much as possible, and prepare a system to evacuate immediately in case of an emergency.

Since 2021, the Ministry of the Environment has started operating the "Heat Stroke Warning Alert" in collaboration with the Japan Meteorological Agency. However, the intensity of the heat has not diminished year by year, and to prepare for dangerous heat over a wide area, unprecedented in the past, the operation of a new "Heat Stroke Special Warning Alert" began on April 24, 2024. *For more details, please visit our website: https://product.sysmet.jp/kishou/k_173.html Also, please feel free to download the catalog.

Thank you for always watching. This time, I will introduce "bomb cyclones." As warm days become more frequent, spring is finally in full swing, but it's not uncommon for the weather to suddenly turn rough during this season. One of the factors that can cause such severe weather is the "bomb cyclone." This low-pressure system, referred to as a "bomb" because it develops rapidly, can pose a greater threat than typhoons due to its ability to bring strong winds over a wide area. Let's learn what a bomb cyclone is and prepare to mitigate its impact! *For more details, please visit our company website: https://product.sysmet.jp/kishou/k_166.html Also, please be sure to download the catalog.

During the rainy season in June, in addition to the rain, typhoons also occur, and I believe you are considering the necessity of measures while looking at the forecast paths. Do you know the correct way to read the typhoon path maps that you often look at? Many people mistakenly think that the size of the forecast circle represents "the scale of the typhoon." The size of the forecast circle indicates "the accuracy of the typhoon path prediction." A smaller circle means "less deviation in the path prediction," while a larger circle indicates "greater deviation in the path prediction." The forecast circle shows "the area where the center of the typhoon is likely to be." Moreover, just predicting the typhoon's path does not provide information on how much rain will actually fall and when, or whether linear precipitation bands will occur. Customers using Sysmet's products can receive consulting services from experienced meteorologists for free! In addition to typhoon path predictions, you can receive a wide range of consulting over the phone regarding impacts on work areas. Please make use of this service!
