Looking back on the year 2024, which was marked by many memorable disasters, let us reconsider disaster prevention measures. The year 2024 began with the Noto Peninsula earthquake on January 1st and saw significant disasters across the country, particularly in Kyushu and the Tohoku region, including heavy rains and heatstroke incidents due to record-breaking heat. First, I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to all those affected, as well as to their families and related parties. I also extend my deep respect to everyone who has worked tirelessly for the relief of victims and the support of recovery in disaster-stricken areas. I pray for the safety of those in affected regions and for a swift recovery. Over the past year, we have been distributing information related to labor safety and environmental safety in the form of white papers. This time, I would like to take a moment to reflect on the disasters of 2024 as a summary and reconsider the disaster prevention measures we can take now.

In recent years, the demand for FM-approved cabinets has surged dramatically. This document introduces the reasons for choosing FM-approved safety cabinets for the storage of flammable liquids. Safety cabinets are manufactured by JUSTRITE, a comprehensive fire prevention measures manufacturer with over 100 years of experience. In addition to FM standards, these cabinets also comply with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) fire prevention performance standards. They are utilized in various locations such as manufacturing plants, maintenance facilities, logistics warehouses, and retail stores. In U.S. military bases in Japan, they are used for storing engine oils and fuels like gasoline for maintenance purposes, and they can be safely used in facilities such as the Self-Defense Forces, fire stations, and police stations that adhere to these standards. Please make use of safety cabinets for the storage of flammable liquids and fire prevention measures. 【Table of Contents】 Reasons for choosing FM-approved cabinets for flammable liquid storage About FM standards for fire prevention in the United States Features of FM-approved cabinets Locations where safety cabinets are used in Japan Types of safety cabinets and how to choose them About JUSTRITE, a comprehensive fire prevention measures manufacturer

This white paper explains the overview and key points of goals 13 to 15 of the SDGs, which are directly related to environmental issues. Global environmental problems are diverse. In previous white papers, we touched on climate change, but there have also been recent examples of environmental issues related to Japan, such as the following: - July 2023: Heavy rain disaster in Akita Prefecture [Overview] Location: Akita Prefecture Summary: Due to the activation of the rainy season front that stalled over the Tohoku region, heavy rain occurred mainly in the northern part of Tohoku. Damage: In addition to one fatality and four injuries, there were also incidents of flooding in homes and landslides due to river overflow. The SDGs are not only aimed at addressing these environmental issues but also set goals for the entire world to work together on various problems, including poverty and inequality. This white paper will primarily introduce the initiatives and key points of the SDGs focused on environmental issues.

This time, we will focus on cut injuries and chemical damage, which are believed to be common not only in labor accidents but also in near misses, and explain the characteristics of protective gloves and their proper usage. Work that requires protective equipment occurs not only in manufacturing but also in various industries. Among the many types of protective gear, gloves in particular come in a wide variety, and there may be cases where they are used improperly, reused, or not used at all despite the presence of hazardous work. However, leaving such situations unaddressed leads to the neglect of "unsafe behaviors" and "unsafe conditions," which we discussed in VOL.3, increasing the likelihood of labor accidents. In 2023, "cuts and abrasions" ranked 5th (5.61%) in labor accidents, while "contact with harmful substances" ranked 13th (0.45%). However, it is believed that there are potentially many more near misses that did not result in labor accidents. This time, we will discuss the characteristics of protective gloves and their proper usage, focusing on the more frequent cut injuries and chemical damage.

[Part 2 of the Two-Part Structure] We will introduce actual cases of health damage caused by soil contamination and effective soil contamination countermeasures that we can implement immediately. In "Soil Contamination Countermeasures Part 1," we provided basic knowledge about soil contamination and details of the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act. In this second part of our white paper, "Soil Contamination Countermeasures Part 2," we will present actual cases of health damage caused by soil contamination and effective countermeasures that we can take right away. Soil contamination is recognized as part of environmental issues, but its impacts are diverse and can pose significant risks to human health. Based on past cases, we will explore what types of health damage have occurred and what measures have been effective, while seeking concrete guidelines for action to reduce the risks we face.

We will explain the importance of soil pollution countermeasures and appropriate responses in two parts. Modern companies are increasingly required to fulfill stricter regulations and social responsibilities from an environmental protection perspective. Among these, "soil pollution countermeasures" are particularly noteworthy. Soil pollution is often caused by corporate activities and poses risks not only of health damage and environmental destruction but also of significantly undermining corporate credibility. This document will explain the importance of soil pollution countermeasures and appropriate responses in two parts. In Part 1, we will provide basic knowledge about soil pollution and details of the Soil Pollution Countermeasures Act. By responding swiftly to soil pollution issues, it is possible to mitigate environmental risks and achieve sustainable management. We sincerely hope that this will assist you in contributing to environmental protection while fulfilling your social responsibilities as a company.
