Shift Up Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo) has begun offering the 2026 model of its mobile cooling shelter, "Unicon COOL," which significantly reduces heatstroke risk at outdoor worksites.
This product will be exhibited at "Security & Safety Trade Expo 2026 (Heatstroke Prevention Expo)" (Booth No. 2-518), held at Intex Osaka on Wednesday, April 15, Thursday, April 16, and Friday, April 17, 2026.
Since its announcement in 2025, inquiries have surged, particularly in the construction, event, and factory sectors.
Consideration for adoption is accelerating as "a readily deployable solution for on-site safety measures."
Problem: The belief that "we are taking measures" is the most dangerous.
Due to the impact of recent global warming, the health risks for people working outdoors are becoming increasingly severe each year. Especially in summer, labor accidents and fatalities due to heatstroke are frequently occurring nationwide, and the situation is worsening annually. Against this backdrop, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has formulated "Guidelines for Heatstroke Prevention Measures at Workplaces" and is strengthening measures, such as obligating businesses to thoroughly implement preventive measures based on the Industrial Safety and Health Act.
Therefore, most companies are taking some kind of measures, but can these measures truly be called "sufficient"?
- Extreme heat that cannot be prevented by air-conditioned clothing alone.
- Workplaces with insufficient shade or resting areas.
- The mistaken judgment of "it'll be fine with a short break."
Even with measures in place, such environments are creating significant labor accident risks.
That is why what is now needed is the permanent establishment of "a place where body temperature can be reliably lowered."
Solution: "Unicon COOL" provides "immediate and reliable cooling on the spot."
Unicon COOL is a mobile shelter that can create a "cooling space for evacuation" the moment it is installed.
With Unicon COOL, it is possible to prevent risks that could not be prevented by merely "thinking" measures were being taken, like "why did an accident happen even though we had taken measures...".
