[Nagoya] Challenging the Heat: Future Engineers to Receive Heatstroke Countermeasures Class for 38 Tokai Polytechnic Students Ahead of August Internships

Hata Consultant Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nagoya City, Representative Director: Tatsuo Furiha), which has 220,000 training achievements in the construction industry, will hold its first "Heatstroke Countermeasures Class" for 38 students from the Civil Engineering and Surveying departments at Tokai Polytechnic School Kanayama Campus (Nagoya City, Naka Ward) on July 9, 2026 (Thursday). This class is designed to protect the safety of students who will be undertaking a 10-day company internship in August, by teaching practical hydration and first aid techniques in a workshop format. On the day, an experience session will also be held for "Oyakata no Hitofuki," a cooling mist with heatstroke countermeasures videos developed by the company. We are widely accepting media coverage and filming on the day as an initiative to protect the health of young engineers who will be facing outdoor work sites in the summer for the first time. ■Background: Worsening Summer Heatwaves and Heatstroke Risks for Young Engineers During Internships In recent years, summer heatwaves have become increasingly severe, with workplace heatstroke fatalities and injuries reaching a record high of 1,681 in 2025 since statistics began in 2005. Managing heatstroke risks, particularly at outdoor work sites such as construction and surveying, is a critical issue for the entire industry. There are concerns that students heading to company internships may be more susceptible to heatstroke than seasoned professionals due to their bodies not being accustomed to harsh outdoor environments. Status of Heatstroke Casualties in Workplaces in 2025 (Reiwa 7) ■ Learning "How to Protect Yourself on Site" Before Company Internships This class will provide easy-to-understand instruction, including practical simulations in the classroom, on heatstroke countermeasures promoted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, such as site standards like the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT), preparations for daily life, practical hydration and salt intake useful on site, and first aid for when someone feels unwell. Additionally, an experience session will be held during the class to try out the actual use of the cooling mist "Oyakata no Hitofuki" with heatstroke countermeasures videos. Through this class, Hata Consultant Co., Ltd. aims to contribute to enhancing the safety awareness of young engineers who will support future infrastructure and enable them to complete their company internships safely. The company will continue to work towards the development of safety and health education for the entire industry. ■ Event Outline Date & Time: Thursday, July 9, 2026, 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM Venue: Tokai Polytechnic School Kanayama Campus (Address: 2-7-19 Kanayama, Naka Ward, Nagoya City) Target Audience: 38 students in their second year of the Civil Engineering Department and Surveying Design Department Instructor: Urano, Hata Consultant Co., Ltd.

Using it during breaks allows the cooling sensation to persist during work, in conjunction with the airflow from air-conditioned clothing. ③ Thorough Care for Site-Specific Odors (Verbena Scent) By spraying the mist and wiping lightly, it effectively tackles concerns like sweat odor, body odor, and aging odor. It is useful for etiquette measures in moving vehicles or during changing. The refreshing verbena scent, suitable for both men and women, spreads gently, supporting refreshment during work breaks or after work. ④ Carefully Selected Ingredients & Low-Irritation Formula to Care for Workers' Skin Contains moisturizing and skin-conditioning ingredients such as "CICA (Centella Asiatica Leaf/Stem Extract)," "Niacinamide," and "Oak Bark Extract" to prevent dryness and skin irritation in summer.
