Preventing heatstroke

熱中症を防ぐ

Learn the signs of heatstroke (necchusho), how to prevent it, and what to do when you find a person who is unwell.

Key points

  1. Heatstroke happens in places that are hot and humid. The body does not have enough water and salt, or it becomes unable to control its temperature. When it becomes serious, it can put your life in danger.

    熱中症は、暑くて湿気が多い場所で起こります。体の水分と塩分が足りなくなったり、体温を調整できなくなったりします。重くなると、命にかかわります。

  2. Dizziness, feeling faint when you stand up, muscle pain, a lot of sweat, headache, nausea, and a tired, heavy body are signs of heatstroke.

    めまい、立ちくらみ、筋肉の痛み、たくさんの汗、頭痛、吐き気、体のだるさは、熱中症のしるしです。

  3. Even if you are not thirsty, take water and salt before work and during work. Take the breaks that have been decided, and rest in a cool place.

    のどがかわいていなくても、作業の前と作業中に、水分と塩分をとります。決められた休憩をとり、涼しい場所で休みます。

  4. When you feel unwell, do not put up with it. Tell the designated person at once. Also tell them at once when another person does not seem right. Check in advance at your workplace who to tell and what the steps are.

    具合が悪いときは、がまんしないで、すぐに決められた人に伝えます。ほかの人の様子がおかしいときも、すぐに伝えます。伝える相手と手順は、職場で先に確かめておきます。

  5. A person who may have heatstroke stops work and cools their body in a cool place. Do not leave that person alone. If their answers are strange, they seem dazed, or they cannot drink water by themselves, call 119 for an ambulance at once.

    熱中症かもしれない人は、作業をやめて、涼しい場所で体を冷やします。その人を一人にしません。返事がおかしい、ぼーっとしている、自分で水が飲めないときは、すぐに119番で救急車を呼びます。
