How do I protect my guests and staff from heat stroke?

Following the revision of the Industrial Safety and Health Regulations by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, businesses are now required to implement Heat Stroke Prevention measures.
Particularly at work sites where operations are conducted in high-temperature environments during midsummer, continuously monitoring the temperature and WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature) at factories, facilities, and theme parks, and taking appropriate measures according to the risk level, is essential to protecting the health and safety of guests and employees.

Available solutions

Weathernews Heat Stroke Prevention Solutions

You can understand the heatstroke risk at facilities and factories and alert guests and employees.

Key Benefits

Checking heatstroke risk based on high-precision forecasts, notification pinpointed to the site

Weathernews for business displays heatstroke risks around factories nationwide in color-coded format for easy viewing at a glance.
Furthermore, on-site temperature and WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature) are measured in real-time using the weather observation device 'Soratena Pro'.
When heatstroke risk rises, alerts are sent via push notifications through the dedicated app to the smartphones of on-site employees and managers.

How do I track heat risk impact across multiple sites?

Typhoon information can be checked through free weather forecasts, but it is difficult to understand how much impact it will have on properties that your company maintains and manages. When will rain or snow fall? How much will there be? How strong will the wind be? By accurately understanding severe weather risks, you can take comprehensive countermeasures.

Available solutions

Weathernews Property Protection Solutions

Get precise weather monitoring for each of your properties, with instant alerts when severe weather threatens so you can protect assets before damage occurs.

Key Benefits

Pinpoint weather alerts for every property

Get instant alerts when severe weather threatens any of your properties—typhoons, heavy downpours, or sudden thunderstorms. Once you're alerted, check exact rainfall amounts and wind speeds for that specific location through our app.

Key Benefits

Keep your whole team on the same page

When everyone gets weather information from different sources, responses get confused and delayed. Give your entire team access to the same reliable weather data so everyone can coordinate quickly and take consistent action when storms hit.
