Since 1988, the number of casualties from labor accidents has been decreasing, but since 2000, the decline has plateaued. In White Paper Vol. 2, titled "A Surge in Winter: Preventing Falls Before They Happen," we addressed the causes and preventive measures for the most common labor accident, which is falls. However, why do labor accidents occur in the first place? This time, we would like to focus on protecting the safety of workers and discuss the mechanisms behind labor accidents and their prevention.

Labor accidents (work-related injuries) refer to situations where workers are injured, become ill, or die due to work or commuting. Specifically, the following situations are included: 1. Occupational accidents: When workers are injured, become ill, or die due to their work. 2. Commuting accidents: When workers are injured, become ill, or die due to commuting. To reduce labor accidents, there is a medium-term plan established by the government, businesses, and workers that focuses on key issues, and this information is useful for the prevention and measures against labor accidents. Additionally, businesses are required to continue their efforts to ensure a safe workplace environment. This time, we will focus on the most common type of labor accident, falls, and introduce preventive measures for them.

ISO 14001 is a standard aimed at establishing a framework that enables organizations to achieve sound environmental performance by managing the impacts of their business activities and the products and services they produce on the environment, in accordance with the 'environmental policies and objectives' set by the organization itself. There are four main initiatives: 'Understanding environmental impacts,' 'Risk management and planning,' 'Operation of the PDCA cycle,' and 'Creation of an environmental manual.' Through these initiatives, organizations can enhance their image and create business opportunities by contributing to environmental conservation. This white paper aims to introduce environmental changes, disaster cases, and their countermeasures, and will be published monthly to assist you in preparing for the acquisition and renewal of ISO 14001. This time, based on the environmental changes and disaster cases that occurred in 2023, I hope to provide insights that will help you in acquiring and improving your ISO 14001 in 2024.

Liquid leakage accidents are approximately twice as frequent as fire accidents. This article explains the rapid response methods when a liquid leakage accident occurs and key points to reduce such accidents. In 2023, there were 243 fire accidents and 482 incidents related to hazardous material spills. While the number of injuries from liquid leakage accidents is not high, the risks they pose to companies are significant. Completely preventing accidents is difficult, but it is possible to reduce the occurrence of accidents by implementing preventive measures and countermeasures. A.M. Products, which has been selling absorbent materials for many years, has extensive knowledge and know-how regarding liquid leakage accidents. In this article, we will utilize that experience to explain key points for countermeasures against liquid leakage accidents.

The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has established new regulations to prevent work-related accidents caused by chemical substances. Starting from April 1, 2024, it has become mandatory for workplaces that handle chemical substances such as sodium hypochlorite (bleach), sodium hydroxide, and potassium hydroxide to require the use of protective goggles. [Details of the new regulations] ■ Workplace structure 1. Workers handling chemical substances must wear appropriate protective gear, such as goggles. 2. Establishment of a system for self-management. (1) Appoint a chemical substance manager. (2) Appoint a manager responsible for the use of protective gear. ■ Prevention of direct contact with hazardous chemical substances that may cause skin or other injuries When engaging workers in tasks that involve the manufacturing or handling of chemical substances that are skin or eye irritants, corrosive to skin, or can be absorbed through the skin and cause health issues, it is required to provide protective gear to prevent injuries based on the harmfulness of the substances.

● Measures to Prevent Slips at Entrances and Aisles On rainy days, the ground becomes slippery due to moisture brought in from outside. To prevent accidents where employees or customers might slip and fall, it is necessary to implement measures that keep the floor dry and ensure safety and comfort underfoot on rainy days. ● Measures to Prevent Condensation Around Walls and Refrigeration Equipment During the rainy season, high humidity can lead to condensation, which, if left unattended, can cause water to drip and spread, becoming a slip and fall hazard. However, addressing water stains with rags can compromise aesthetics and lead to mold growth due to bacterial proliferation. Therefore, it is essential to efficiently absorb leaks while also considering the visual appearance.

● Measures against oil stains in front of the fryer, grill, and grease trap If the oil stains on the floor caused by cooking are left unattended, they can easily lead to slip-and-fall accidents. Additionally, they can adhere to shoe soles and be carried to other areas, spreading the dirt. In hot seasons like summer, neglecting oil stains in the grease trap can also cause foul odors. ● Measures to prevent the carrying out and spreading of oil stains in entrances and corridors Preventing the spread of oil and dirt on the floor is extremely important. By preventing the transfer of dirt to other areas, we can reduce slip-and-fall accidents and significantly lower the cleaning effort and costs for the entire facility.

We will answer the question, "How should companies prepare for flood damage?" Now, before the rainy season begins, let's prepare for typhoons and heavy rains. Flooding poses a significant risk to companies. In recent years, damage from floods and heavy rains has increased, greatly impacting corporate performance and sustainability. For example, the damage caused by the heavy rains in western Japan in July 2018 and Typhoon No. 19 in October 2019 is still fresh in our memories, and it is important to learn from these cases. Every time we see news about companies' offices, warehouses, factories, or stores suffering from flooding, many stakeholders may worry, "Will our company be okay?" Preparing for flood damage has become extremely important for business continuity. To answer the question, "How should companies prepare for flood damage?" we will introduce the basics of flood prevention in two parts. Now is the time to prepare for typhoons and heavy rains before the rainy season begins.
