Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Environmental & Chemical Engineering, a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group Company, Adopts "LaKeel Online Media Service"

LaKeel Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Tsutomu Kubo; hereinafter "LaKeel") announces that its video streaming education service, "LaKeel Online Media Service," has been adopted by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Environmental & Chemical Engineering Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture; Representative Director and President: Yoshimasa Sawamoto; hereinafter "MHIEC") for its occupational safety and health education initiatives.

Background of Adoption MHIEC, which is responsible for construction management as the prime contractor in the construction of waste treatment plants and other facilities, is continuously promoting initiatives aimed at eradicating accidents and disasters to realize safe construction sites. Until now, education has been conducted using in-house produced videos, but challenges included significant production costs and labor, as well as content becoming monotonous. Furthermore, the attributes of on-site workers have diversified in recent years, with an increase in foreign workers, inexperienced young workers, and elderly workers, heightening the need for an educational tool that can be effectively and integrally utilized by all these diverse groups. To solve these challenges, achieve both educational efficiency and improved effectiveness, and ensure more reliable safety management at construction sites, MHIEC decided to introduce "LaKeel Online Media Service."

Three Reasons for Adoption - Abundant content covering diverse fields, from practical construction site work to safety awareness. - Easy learning with short videos, enabling efficient education for diversified on-site workers. - Reduces production burden while preventing monotony, allowing flexible operation tailored to the site.

Image of "LaKeel Online Media Service" Utilization In the monthly safety patrols conducted by safety and health department members at 140 sites annually, on-site workers will directly watch "LaKeel Online Media Service" videos. This will strengthen on-site safety education. By leveraging the characteristic of short videos, each lasting only a few minutes, timely education tailored to the site situation will be provided, aiming to improve the safety awareness of each worker.

Comment from the Introducing Department "As the attributes of on-site workers diversify, we will further utilize 'LaKeel Online Media Service' as an educational tool that everyone can correctly understand. Going forward, we are considering company-wide educational deployment, including administrative departments, not just on-site education, with the aim of raising safety awareness across the entire organization. Furthermore, since we have a history of producing our own educational videos, we will utilize the production functions of this service to expand our unique educational content that matches our company's needs, thereby aiming to foster a stronger safety culture."
