Hello, everyone.<\/p>\n

This is Enta.<\/p>\n

It's about time for the peak of heatstroke season!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are you taking any measures?<\/p>\n

Air-conditioned clothing is an option, too. (It's all the rage, after all.)<\/p>\n

We installed it a few years ago, but people with strong preconceptions refused to use it at all, saying it was useless.<\/p>\n

People who know how to use it are already using it, lol<\/p>\n

\"Heatstroke<\/p>\n

While heatstroke prevention is very important, there is something even more important.<\/p>\n

That is,Identifying people showing symptoms of heatstroke<\/span><\/strong>That's it.<\/p>\n

Or findKnowledge to handle situations appropriately<\/span><\/strong><\/span>That's it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My Colleagues' Actions<\/span><\/strong><\/span>Let's take a closer look.<\/p>\n

Are you feeling a little wobbly?<\/p>\n

If they look like they're having a hard time, please let them take a break.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When you take a break, be sure to do it in the shade of a tree!<\/p>\n

There's no point in taking a break in the sun, so please create some shade.<\/p>\n

\"On-site<\/p>\n

At our place, we use shade cloth to create shade on the scaffolding and to cover the plants.<\/p>\n

It's particularly effective for plants.<\/p>\n

\"Shade<\/p>\n

70% UV protection is the best!<\/p>\n

I've written about this in a previous post, so I'll include it below.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As for what to do if you do get heatstroke, while it\u2019s important to apply ice to the back of your neck and carotid arteries, if possible, please submerge your entire body in water.<\/p>\n

Tap water is fine. Just make sure to cool your whole body down!<\/p>\n

Apparently, this is more effective than cooling just a specific area.<\/p>\n

Since I\u2019ve written about this in a previous post, I\u2019ll include it below.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That means roofs made of shade cloth were used during this period, and<\/p>\n

Set up a tub filled with water outside<\/span><\/strong><\/span>Shouldn't we do that? (Cold bath)<\/p>\n

So that's the conclusion, huh? lol<\/p>\n

People who love saunas know exactly what I mean, right?<\/p>\n

That feeling when you step out of the sauna and spend just five minutes in the cold plunge pool\u2014you get chilled to the bone all at once!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It's okay to let tap water trickle into a water tank big enough to hold your whole body, right?<\/p>\n

On a construction site, you can easily prevent heatstroke by using a water pump to draw in mountain spring water and circulate it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you get heatstroke, cool your whole body down!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Please keep this in mind!<\/p>\n

And for this time of year, as long as we can be ready for projects lasting about one to two months, that should be fine, right?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

See you later.<\/p>\n

Simply setting up a cold water bath at the site may help reduce the severity of heatstroke<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
