[New Product] A "Safety Block Usage Detection System" that automatically detects the non-use of safety blocks for fall accident prevention in high-altitude work has been introduced!

A safety management system that automatically detects "forgotten hook attachment" during high-altitude work and alerts users with an alarm when not in use.

In high-altitude work, the reliable use of safety blocks is required, but human errors such as forgetting to hook can lead to accidents on site. This product, "Harness Alert - Safety Block Compatible Model," is a usage detection system that can be retrofitted to safety blocks. It automatically detects the user's usage status with a magnetic sensor and issues an alarm to raise awareness when not in use. Furthermore, by using it in conjunction with "Harness Alert," it is possible to centrally manage the usage status of full harness-type safety belts and safety blocks. This product enables accident prevention through a system that does not rely on verbal reminders or visual checks for safety confirmation. ◇Features ■ Easy retrofitting When combined with an area setting machine, it can be implemented simply by attaching a magnet to your existing safety block and having the worker carry a tag. ■ Reliable detection with magnetic sensors The usage status of the safety block is detected by the tag's magnetic sensor, automatically determining when the hook is not in use. ■ Alarm for awareness when not in use If the safety block is not in use within a danger area, an alarm will activate, prompting the worker to ensure the proper use of the safety block. ■ Lightweight and compact design Both the tag case and magnet are designed to be approximately 20g, reducing the burden on the worker.

We will reduce fall accidents at high-altitude work sites caused by forgetting to hook the safety belt.

**[Amendment to the Labor Safety and Health Act]** In January 2022, there was a legal amendment regarding fall prevention equipment, and interest in ensuring safety during high-altitude work has increased. The Harness Alert detects when the safety belt hook is not detached from the hook holder and notifies users with an alarm (alert). It encourages high-altitude workers to use safety belts properly. *It can be easily attached to commercially available safety belts as an "add-on"!* **■ System Overview** 1. Set up the "Area Setting Device" at the high-altitude work site. The area setting device can be selected from three types: spot, rope, and wide, depending on the application. (For details, please refer to the basic information section.) 2. Workers will wear the "IC Tag-equipped Hook Holder" and "Hook Magnet." 3. Detect whether the "safety belt hook is being used" within the area. If the safety belt hook is not in use, an alarm (alert) will be issued. **■ Applicable Sites** General high-altitude work sites (bridge construction, residential construction sites, rooftop work)

Visualizing the dangers of high-altitude work sites and implementing a higher level of safety measures with the "Harness Alert Cloud."

The Harness Alert is a safety system that issues warnings to workers who forget to use hooks while working at heights, raising awareness of safety. By adding the Harness Alert Cloud, it transforms "invisible hazards" occurring on-site into "visible safety data," enabling preventive safety management to prevent accidents before they occur. Alarm history is automatically sent to the cloud via LTE communication, allowing administrators to check the site conditions from anywhere using a browser. By accumulating and analyzing data for each worker, it supports the understanding of danger trends and proactive safety measures. 【Features】 - Remote monitoring function: Check the safety harness usage status from a remote location - LTE communication compatible: Send on-site information to the cloud in real-time - Automatic alarm history recording: Automatically record the time of alarm occurrence, the relevant worker, and the area of occurrence - Reporting function: Automatically generate reports on hook usage status - Alert notification function: Notify administrators of alarms when hooks are not used - Browser compatibility: Viewable from a browser without the need for dedicated software - Easy installation: Can start operation with just the installation of additional equipment to existing systems *For details, please refer to the PDF document or contact us.

Fukuda Co., Ltd., which develops, manufactures, and sells leak testing equipment to inspect airtightness and sealing performance, provides a technical document that clearly explains the methods and theories of airtight testing, titled "Technical Manual." We are offering it as a PDF file. Please take this opportunity to download and view it!

● What is a hydrogen leak detector? It can measure leaks in small areas that could not be detected in air leak tests and can also identify the leak locations. It is a detector that uses a mixture of 5% hydrogen and 95% nitrogen (non-flammable gas: ISO10156:2017) as the tracer gas. ● What is a helium leak test system? It is a leak test system suitable for high-precision or high-pressure leak inspections. The helium leak test system uses helium gas as the detection gas (tracer gas) and detects the helium that has leaked out. It is the leak test method among Fukuda's leak testers that can detect the smallest leaks.

● What is a flow meter? Flow meters measure flow rates using mass flow meters or laminar flow meters and perform pass/fail judgments based on flow rate criteria. They are ideal for measuring airflow and conducting performance tests. "FMZ-1063 series" This is a flow tester equipped with a mass flow meter. It offers high precision of ± 3.5 % of R.D. ± 1 digit (in the normal flow range). It features a time-saving function (scan measurement). The FMZ-1063 is a compact, all-in-one flow tester with various functions. "FU series" This is a flow measurement unit that integrates laminar and differential pressure sensors, making it smaller and lighter. When connected to a display indicator (model: MI-170), it can provide direct flow readings as well as pressure and flow judgments. "FLF-110 series" This is a laminar flow meter capable of measuring a wide range of flow rates from 2 NmL/min to 500 NL/min.

What is an Air Leak Tester? An "Air Leak Tester" is a device that pressurizes the inside (or outside) of a sealed workpiece with air and determines the presence of leaks based on pressure changes. When a master with no leaks and a workpiece with leaks are pressurized, the pressure on the workpiece side decreases, creating a pressure difference between the two. By measuring this pressure difference, the presence of leaks can be determined. Generally, differential pressure air leak testing is widely used, but Fukuda also offers products that utilize direct pressure leak testing and flow meters according to the leak rate, in addition to differential pressure leak testers. Since the air leak tester uses air as the measurement medium, it incurs no running costs and is environmentally friendly.

● What is a pneumatic regulator? It is a self-developed pneumatic regulator with a control reproducibility of ±0.1%. We offer a wide range of products from low flow to high flow. ● What is a regulator? Please use it to adjust the test pressure for leak testing. By supplying a stable test pressure, it enables more accurate measurements.
