Reason for selection:
“Fall” has caused the most work-related accidents in recent years, and
the number of fall-related casualties has steadily risen in the last
three years. And the biggest cause of fall is “slip” . Stainless steel
“shoe sole catcher” is a sheet product which can drastically reduce the
cases of slip-induced fall, a social problem of our time.
This product exhibits strong anti-slip capability even under extremely
slippery conditions where water or oil is splashed, for example. In fiscal
2020, JFE443CT, a chrome-grade stainless steel noted with superb drawability
and puncturability was adopted, which led to improved slip prevention with
higher protrusions.
Such advantages are highly appreciated, and the product is currently used
in about 600 entities, centered on facilities with high safety awareness
including steelworks and submarines of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense
Force. Since Shoe Sole Catcher can make a great contribution to cut down
cases of “fall”, the worst culprit of work-related accidents, the product
is expected to generate huge demand in the future.
