Preventing heatstroke
熱中症を防ぐ
Learn how to prevent heatstroke when working outdoors or inside a greenhouse, and what to do when it happens.
Key points
Heatstroke (necchusho) is an illness where the body becomes unwell because of heat. In 2024, 59 people died from heatstroke during farm work. Work inside a plastic greenhouse is dangerous too.
熱中症は、暑さで体の調子が悪くなる病気です。令和6年に、農作業中の熱中症で59人が亡くなりました。ビニールハウスの中の仕事も危ないです。
Take water and salt often, before you become thirsty. Rest often in the shade or in a place where the wind passes.
のどがかわく前に、水と塩分をこまめにとります。日かげや風が通る場所で、こまめに休みます。
As far as possible, do not work alone. When you are alone, set times and keep in contact with another person.
できるだけ1人で作業しません。1人のときは、時間を決めて、ほかの人と連絡します。
Dizziness, headache, nausea, and a tired, heavy body are signs of heatstroke. Do not put up with them. Stop work at once and tell a person nearby or your supervisor. The company is required to decide who you contact and to inform you.
めまい、頭の痛み、はき気、体のだるさは、熱中症のしるしです。がまんしないで、すぐ作業をやめて、近くの人や上司に言います。だれに連絡するかは、会社が決めて知らせることになっています。
If there is a person who seems to have heatstroke, loosen their clothes in a cool place and cool their body. Do not leave that person alone. If their answers are strange or they cannot drink water by themselves, call 119 at once.
熱中症のような人がいたら、すずしい場所で服をゆるめて、体を冷やします。その人を1人にしません。返事がおかしいときや、自分で水が飲めないときは、すぐ119番に電話します。
