The program provided from the communication means or the recording medium is installed in the computer, and various processes are realized by the CPU of the computer sequentially executing the program.

  In the present embodiment, heat stroke information useful for heat stroke prevention is provided to workers scheduled to perform work. Hereinafter, the heat stroke information provision processing in the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. I will explain. The timing at which the heat stroke information provision processing program is activated will be described in detail later. Here, before the worker goes to the work site on the day of the work, the heat stroke prevention support apparatus 10 is used, or A description will be given assuming that the program is started by accessing the heat stroke prevention support apparatus 10 from a predetermined terminal via a network.

  The worker first requests input of information by inputting his / her worker ID and the building ID of the building to be worked on. The facility ID may be used instead of the building ID. Further, the scheduled work start time and the work time length may be input.

  When the information request receiving unit 11 receives a request from the worker (step 101), the heat stroke information generation processing control unit 13 searches the building information based on the building ID specified at the time of the request, thereby using the address as the work place. get. In addition, the work execution date and time (start time) and the work time length are acquired by searching the work information based on the worker ID, and the work time zone is obtained. If the start time, the work time length, etc. are input by the worker, the input information is used. In this case, the information registered in the work information may be considered as an initial value.

  There is a possibility that a worker may work on a plurality of facilities installed in one building on the same day, but in this case, each of a plurality of operations in a subsequent process according to one request by the worker. Heatstroke information will be generated and provided. Of course, if the worker specifies the start time of the work at the time of provision request, one worker can not work on multiple facilities at the same time, so what heatstroke information is generated for which work, It is uniquely identified.

  In this way, when the heat stroke information generation processing control unit 13 specifies the worker's work place and work time zone, the heat stroke information generation processing control unit 13 sends the specified information to the weather forecast information acquisition unit 12 to instruct acquisition of weather forecast information. To do.

  The weather forecast information acquisition unit 12 acquires, as weather forecast information from the Japan Meteorological Agency or the like, the WBGT in the designated work time zone in the area including the work place designated according to the instruction from the heat stroke information generation processing control unit 13. (Step 102).

  When the weather forecast information acquisition unit 12 acquires WBGT, the heat stroke information generation processing control unit 13 is based on the work-related information and the correction information, and the acquired WBGT (hereinafter also referred to as “forecast WBGT”) as follows. ) Is calculated to calculate a WBGT (hereinafter also referred to as “corrected WBGT”) specialized for the work scheduled to be performed (step 103).

  That is, the heat stroke information generation processing control unit 13 searches the storage units 21 to 24 for items set as correction items in the correction information storage unit 25 and acquires item setting values of the work scheduled to be performed. . According to the setting example of the correction information shown in FIG. 7, items such as age, work condition, work content, work place, floor height, presence / absence of air conditioner, work time length, and work time zone are set as correction items. First, the age of the worker who performs the work is acquired by searching the worker information based on the worker ID input and designated by the worker. As the work condition, a new construction (age) is acquired by searching for building information based on the building ID input and designated by the worker. Since the work content can be identified by searching the work information based on the worker ID and the building ID input and designated by the worker, the work content of the work is acquired from the work information of the work. In addition, when a worker sets a plurality of facilities installed in the same building as a work target, the worker may be allowed to specify one facility in step 101, or heat stroke for work on a plurality of corresponding facilities. Information may be generated. The work length is acquired in the same manner. When the work ID can be specified as described above, the work place specifies the equipment ID from the work information of the work, and acquires the work place of the work from the equipment information of the specified equipment ID. The floor height and presence / absence of air conditioner are acquired in the same way. The work time zone acquires the work time zone of the work from the work execution date and time and the work time length.

  When the item setting value of each correction item is acquired as described above, the heat stroke information generation processing control unit 13 refers to the correction information and obtains a correction value corresponding to each item setting value. For example, when the worker's age is in his thirties, a correction value +0.05 is obtained. When the work content is the rooftop, a correction value +0.45 is obtained. When the floor height is the fifth floor, a correction value of 0.1 (= 5 × + 0.02) is obtained. In the present embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 7, a correction value may be set in the correction information, or a calculation formula may be set.

  When the correction value for each correction item is obtained as described above, the forecast WBGT is corrected by performing a predetermined calculation based on the correction value. For example, the forecast WBGT is corrected by simply adding the sum of correction values for each correction item to the forecast WBGT. Of course, the correction of the forecast WBGT need not be limited to this calculation method.

  According to the setting example of the correction information shown in FIG. 7, the correction value of the place where the work place is likely to become heat stroke such as outdoors or on the roof is set relatively high among the same correction items. In addition, the correction value for heavy work content such as moving the body more or carrying heavy loads is set to be relatively high among the same correction items. In addition, the correction value for the time zone in which the work time zone is likely to cause heat stroke, such as daytime, is set relatively high among the same correction items. Also, even with work of the same content at the same place, an older worker may feel heavier, so the correction value for the older age is set to be relatively higher among the same correction items.

  The forecast WBGT is information that does not depend on the personal characteristics of the worker or the work environment. However, if the work contents are tight even at the same work place, and if the work time zone is hot, the possibility of heat stroke is considered to be relatively high. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the correction WBGT specialized for the work is obtained by correcting the forecast WBGT to be high based on the correction information described above.

  For example, when working in a place where an air conditioner is installed and usable, such as the presence or absence of an air conditioner, the room temperature can be lowered. In such a case, a negative value is corrected to reduce the forecast WBGT. May be set as

  In this way, the correction information includes work related information such as age, worker personal characteristics, work conditions, work content, work location and floor height, presence / absence of air conditioner, etc. Correction values are set for work-related information related to work time such as the environment, work time length, and work time zone. In this embodiment, the correction information is set by combining all of the work-related information considered to be related to heat stroke. However, the work-related information related to personal characteristics, work content, work environment, or work time is set. Only at least one of them may be set. Further, items other than the correction items illustrated in FIG. 7 may be set as correction items, and other items may be set as correction items instead of the correction items illustrated in FIG.

  As described above, when the heat stroke information generation processing control unit 13 corrects the forecast WBGT to obtain a correction WBGT specialized for the work scheduled to be performed, the correction WBGT is referred to the message information storage unit 26. The risk degree and heatstroke countermeasure message corresponding to is acquired, and heatstroke information is generated (step 104). Then, the heat stroke information providing unit 14 provides the heat stroke information to the worker who has requested the provision in step 101. In this embodiment, referring to the worker information, a mail is transmitted to the mail address of the worker (step 105). Of course, the providing method is not limited to this, and it may be displayed on the display of the terminal used for the providing request or printed out.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a description example of the text of the email sent to the worker. In the heat stroke information, information 41 related to the work scheduled to be performed and the degree of danger 42 corresponding to the corrected WBGT are indicated by the number of characters and stars. And the heatstroke countermeasure message information read from the message information storage unit 26 as the preventive countermeasure 43 is presented.

  Workers who will be working from now on should take measures against heat stroke, such as displaying received emails on mobile devices such as smartphones that they carry, referring to their preventive measures, and carrying a lot of water before going out. To.

  Note that the types of information included in the heat stroke information need not be limited to the contents illustrated in FIG. 10, and information related to heat stroke countermeasures, such as a weather forecast (weather, temperature, humidity, etc.) of a work place, is used as a weather forecast. The information may be included in the information and acquired together with the WBGT, and the acquired weather forecast may be provided together.

  Further, in the present embodiment, one heat stroke countermeasure message information is associated with the risk determined based on the corrected WBGT. For example, depending on the work item such as the work content and the work place, one risk is determined. You may set different heat stroke countermeasure messages. For example, when the work place is outdoors, the message may include prevention, thorough wearing of a helmet, wearing underwear of quick-drying fabric, and the like.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, information that facilitates measures against heat stroke can be provided to workers. In particular, in the present embodiment, WBGT acquired as weather forecast information from the Japan Meteorological Agency or the like as one piece of information is not presented to the worker as it is, but the predicted WBGT is used as a WBGT suitable for the work to be performed. It was corrected and provided to workers. In addition, when several heat stroke information is produced | generated with respect to the provision request | requirement from a worker, heat stroke information may be individually transmitted by e-mail, and may be transmitted by merging.

  Here, the execution timing of the heatstroke information provision process mentioned above is demonstrated.

  In the description of the heat stroke information provision processing described above, it is assumed that the worker starts the program on the day of work and inputs necessary items when the provision is requested. Because the heat stroke information is generated using the forecast WBGT on the current day, the heat stroke information provision processing on the day of the work is performed. Therefore, the heat stroke information based on the forecast WBGT before the day is more accurate and appropriate. Information can be provided. On the other hand, if heat stroke information is provided before the day of work, for example, at the end of the previous day's work, preparation for heat stroke measures for the next day's work can be performed on the previous day. It is thought that it is more suitable than being informed of countermeasures.

  As described above, it is not necessary to provide heat stroke information only on the current day as described above, and it may be performed on a day before that. In addition, the provision of information on the previous day may be provided for a plurality of times for one operation, for preparation, for providing more reliable information on the day.

  In the present embodiment, the worker is allowed to start the program, input the worker ID and the building ID, specify the work, and provide information. However, it is not necessary to be limited to this method, and the heat stroke prevention support apparatus 10 may automatically provide information without being requested by an operator.

  For example, the heat stroke prevention support apparatus 10 activates the program at the end of the work, refers to the work execution date and time set in the work information, and identifies the work scheduled for the next day (the next business day). And the heat stroke information of the said worker is produced | generated and mail-transmitted with respect to the worker who is scheduled to work on the next day. The heat stroke prevention support apparatus 10 activates a program at the time of starting work, and refers to the work execution date and time set in the work information, and identifies the work scheduled for today. And today, the heat stroke information of the worker is generated and sent by e-mail to the worker who is scheduled to carry out the work.

  As described above, the heat stroke information of the worker may be automatically generated and automatically transmitted to the worker scheduled to perform the work by e-mail. This eliminates the need for an operator to operate the terminal to request information provision.

  Next, feedback which is an additional function in the present embodiment will be described.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the forecast WBGT is corrected based on the correction information and provided to the worker. The correction value used for correcting the forecast WBGT is set to a value that is considered appropriate by the experienced worker or manager. However, when actually used, since this correction value is not necessarily an appropriate value, there is a possibility that an appropriate risk level or heat stroke countermeasure message cannot be provided to the worker.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the feedback processing unit 15 is provided, and the correction information set in the correction information storage unit 25 is corrected by learning based on feedback regarding the work from the worker who actually performed the work. I was able to do it.

  For example, upon receiving feedback from a worker in his / her 40s that the work was too hot and harder than expected, the feedback processing unit 15 reflects the feedback on the correction value for the 40s. According to the setting example of FIG. 7, +0.1 is corrected to a large value, for example, +0.12, so that the value of the corrected WBGT is increased.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the correction value set in the correction information by learning can be corrected. The correction value is a value for correcting the value of the forecast WBGT to be larger in principle. This correction width was also set individually depending on the work place such as indoor or outdoor. However, the likelihood of heatstroke will change depending on the weather even in the same outdoor environment. When it is indoors, whether it is sunny or cloudy, it is not easily affected by the weather, but when it is outdoors, sunny weather is more likely to cause heat stroke. Therefore, the weather forecast may be included in the correction information. Alternatively, for example, instead of setting the outdoor correction value as a fixed value, a correction value that differs depending on the weather is set for one correction item, such as +0.35 when clear and +0.30 when cloudy. May be. Also, even indoors that are not easily affected by the weather, daytime work in rooms with south-facing windows can vary in room temperature depending on whether it is sunny or cloudy. Different correction values may be set depending on the orientation of the window.

  Further, as another additional function, means for recording and accumulating the work situation when heat stroke occurs is provided, and when the heat stroke actually occurs, the worker records the work situation at that time. Then, when work under the work environment equivalent to the actual heat stroke is scheduled, the worker who is scheduled to carry out the work is told, "This work is XX year XX month XX It is possible to add a message to call attention such as “Please be more careful than usual.”
