Sendai Meiban Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, Representative Director: Hiroyuki Kanomata) has begun sales of the new voice signage "Voice Signage Series Attack on Titan," which features character voices from the popular TV anime "Attack on Titan," starting June 15, 2026. This product aims to prevent falling and dropping accidents at construction sites and other locations. Instead of mechanical warning sounds, it directly calls for the "wearing of full harnesses" in a friendly character voice, thereby improving the safety awareness of site workers and contributing to the reduction of falling accidents, a long-standing issue in the construction industry.

Background of Development: The Reality of "Decreased Awareness" and "Improper Wearing" of Full Harnesses on Site

In construction sites, "falls and drops" during high-altitude work account for a large proportion of fatal occupational accidents. Due to legal revisions, the wearing of full harness-type fall arrest devices has become mandatory in principle. *As of January 2, 2022, the use of fall arrest devices of the new standard (such as full harnesses) has been fully mandated in principle.

However, on actual work sites, "lack of awareness regarding wearing (complacency)" such as "it's just a short job" or "wearing it is troublesome" continues to be a factor leading to serious accidents.

Furthermore, simply wearing it does not guarantee safety. If the belt is loose or twisted, the D-ring is misaligned, or the lanyard (hook) is not properly attached, it cannot protect a life in the event of an accident. However, with conventional general signage or mechanical announcements, it has been difficult to ensure that each worker "correctly checks their harness fit."

Product Features: From "Must Wear" to "Want to Wear to the Site"! Reforming Awareness with the World of "Attack on Titan"

To break down the psychological barriers on site such as "wearing is troublesome" and "it doesn't look good," we have fused the world of "Attack on Titan," where characters "fight to protect their lives in a harsh world," with the construction industry. Here are three features of this product that will fundamentally change site awareness.

1. Correct and Strong Safety Checks with "Completely Newly Recorded Voices" of Eren and Mikasa!

Original voices of the main characters Eren Yeager (CV: Yuki Kaji) and Mikasa Ackerman (CV: Yui Ishikawa) have been completely newly recorded. Powerful lines that highlight the characters' personalities, such as "You must use your safety belt! Without it, you have no life (Eren)" and "It's unthinkable not to use your safety belt correctly (Mikasa)," directly appeal to workers' "complacency" and "improper wearing."

2. "Completely New Illustrations" to Boost Site Motivation

The product features completely new illustrations of Eren and Mikasa wearing helmets and full harnesses, wielding their lanyards (hooks) as if they were Vertical Maneuvering Equipment. This dispels the negative feeling of "having to wear it" due to obligation and transforms it into positive motivation, such as "I want to wear this and go to the site."

3. "High-Precision Sensor" and "Approximately 75 Decibel Audio" to Reliably Deliver Voices Upon Detecting People

When a person crosses the detection area, a pyroelectric infrared sensor instantly detects the infrared rays emitted by the human body and automatically plays the original voice. With audio output of up to approximately 75 decibels, the character's "voice" can be clearly heard by workers even in the noisy environment of a construction site.
