5K Support Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yokohama City; Representative: Yoshimasa Nakano) announces that the test introduction of its '5K Heatstroke & Physical Condition Management Cloud Service' has been decided at a major general contractor amid growing demand ahead of the peak season.
At construction sites, it is difficult to implement consistent heatstroke measures due to individual differences in physical condition, environmental risk variations by location, and the challenges of supervisor patrols. The cloud service provided by 5K Support visualizes not only the site's 'WBGT value' but also the 'heatstroke risk' including worker health changes. It supports the effectiveness of safety measures by centralizing everything from 'alarm transmission' based on risk levels to 'recording verbal check-ins' during patrols.
Until now, heatstroke measures have often been limited to simple warnings like 'Please be careful as it's hot' or checks using standalone measuring devices. On the other hand, what is truly needed on-site is understanding who is at risk, at what timing, and to what extent, followed by taking necessary actions and leaving a history of those responses.
It is also important to support efforts to increase work efficiency by grasping risks numerically, not only when risks are high but also when they are low. Furthermore, we believe it is essential to establish a system that can quickly submit 'Heatstroke Prevention Check Sheets' for confirmation by labor inspection offices.
In this test introduction, by utilizing our cloud service, we aim to build an operational foundation that makes it easier for both site supervisors and management departments to grasp the situation and ensures that safety measures do not rely solely on individuals. 5K Support will continue to improve services that meet field needs and strengthen expansion mainly in the construction industry.
Representative Comment:
'This season, in response to the mandatory heatstroke measures, we are working to provide our service as an effective option for many companies seeking specific operational methods on-site. Through this test introduction, we aim to verify the effectiveness in field operations and contribute to the safety management of more companies by demonstrating that our service is effective for heatstroke prevention.' — Representative Director, Yoshimasa Nakano
