Strengthening Safety Management for Temporary Equipment Installation and Products

「During the fiscal year, to meet increasingly diverse needs for indoor construction, we expanded the lineup of the Air Base series of aluminum portable work platforms and developed aluminum ramps that enable aerial work platforms to safely pass over level differences at construction sites. For our flagship aluminum asagao product, we added recyclable aluminum panels to the lineup alongside the conventional FRP panels, with a view to reducing environmental impact.」

「The company will begin full-scale deployment of “MIRUTAG,” a hybrid temporary construction equipment management system that supports labor savings in the identification and management of individual temporary construction equipment items, traceability, safety inspections and inventory counts at construction sites by using dual-IC tags integrating RFID and NFC functions into a single tag, and hereby announces the following.」

「During the fiscal year, we commercialized a lightweight aluminum work deck designed to reduce the burden of assembling and dismantling scaffolding. We also developed the aluminum work platform Albox, which offers greater durability and easier repairs than resin work platforms and is expected to reduce environmental impact.」

「During the fiscal year, we commercialized the lightweight, easy-to-operate aluminum mobile indoor scaffold Helio Move as an alternative to steel work platforms traditionally used for indoor finishing work and other applications. We also commercialized the Albatross Protection Gantry System as new safety equipment designed to prevent harm from falling objects at construction sites.」

「Sales of specialized ladders increased, contributing to performance in products such as aluminum climbing equipment, following the expansion, from October 2023, of the scope of mandatory truck access equipment installations under revisions to the Industrial Safety and Health Regulations.」

「During the fiscal year, we focused on developing the Albatross Falling-Object Protection Gantry System, equipment designed to protect pedestrians from falling objects as a safety measure for walkways around construction sites. We also commercialized the aluminum portable work platform Air Base, designed to achieve both lighter weight and greater safety.」

「During the fiscal year, we added meter-size specifications to the lineup to increase the versatility of the wedge-coupled Albatross scaffold. We also commercialized the lightweight aluminum SK Wing as a new falling-object prevention component for the system-type suspended scaffold SK Panel, as well as lightweight aluminum portable work platforms designed for both reduced weight and greater safety.」

「During the fiscal year, we commercialized formwork shoring equipment using the wedge-coupled Albatross scaffold. We also developed and improved aluminum work platforms to eliminate hazards identified through risk assessments and achieve both lighter weight and greater safety.」

「During the fiscal year, we developed equipment to improve the installability of the wedge-coupled Albatross scaffold and scaffold boards with minimal gaps to prevent falling objects. We also improved tie-off posts and other equipment in response to regulatory revisions mandating the use of full-body harness fall-arrest equipment.」

「During the fiscal year, we developed shoring equipment to improve the convenience of the wedge-coupled Albatross scaffold, expansion equipment for uses outside the construction field, and aluminum toe boards and L-shaped toe boards as part of the expansion of our safety equipment lineup.」

「During the fiscal year, we commercialized various items of equipment, including toe boards, safety equipment developed to meet customer needs following revisions to the Industrial Safety and Health Regulations; improved aluminum-alloy work platforms with a focus on greater safety; and developed a system for multipurpose use with the wedge-coupled Albatross scaffold.」

「The Company has established an Installation Safety Management Office to improve safety in temporary equipment installation. It also holds Product Safety Management Committee meetings to promote initiatives relating to product safety, equipment maintenance and quality. Through these support structures, each business division will strengthen its safety initiatives.」
