It's a risk factor.Once the site stops, companies are forced to take measures to confirm safety and restore the status quo.In addition, serious accidents that threaten the lives of employees can hinder the sustainable growth of companies, such as difficulty in recruiting personnel and receiving orders due to a decline in safety reliability and corporate value. increase.For this reason, KY activities, which identify dangerous areas and work on-site, inform them in advance and call attention to them, are implemented as an important risk assessment to raise safety awareness on-site and maintain stable factory operations.

　On the other hand, in recent years, the declining birth rate has progressed in Japan, and labor shortages have become a serious problem in all industries.Especially in the manufacturing and construction industry, the shortage of workers due to the aging of skilled workers, retirement due to retirement age, and the outflow of human resources is remarkable. The problem is that there are many human resources with insufficient knowledge, and education has not caught up.Since the experience of skilled workers is highly dependent on the detection of near-miss incidents that lead to the prediction of on-site hazards, the awareness of the physical condition of employees, and the judgment of on-site conditions, the decrease in the number of experienced personnel will outweigh the decline in the labor force. It involves serious risks that lead to the loss of valuable company knowledge.
