Obligation of companies to consider safety
“Safety Obligation” refers to the obligation of a company or organization to consider the health and safety of its employees.
Article 5 of the Labor Contract Law stipulates that “companies must take care to ensure that employees can always work in a safe and comfortable working environment.”
In addition, the scope of employees to which companies and organizations should be obliged to consider safety is also stipulated in detail by law.
There are no penalties, but you may have to file a claim for damages if you violate it. It can be said that it is necessary knowledge for the sound operation of a company, so be sure to remember it from the person in charge involved.

I want to avoid “Flurona”. The mortality rate is 2.35 times that of corona alone! Concern about the risk of aggravation
It is a coined word that refers to the state of being infected with “new coronavirus” and “influenza virus” at the same time. This coined word became a hot topic around January 2022 when reports of duplicate infections appeared overseas.

For example, a survey of 307 coronavirus patients in Wuhan, China, where the coronavirus was first discovered, reported that as many as 57% of them were co-infected with the influenza virus. 1）
In addition, a survey of about 7,000 coronavirus patients in the UK over a period of more than one and a half years found that about 3% of them were infected with the influenza virus. 2）
At a minimum, let’s thoroughly implement infection control measures such as “mask”, “hand washing”, “gargling”, “disinfection”, and “avoiding the three Cs” in corporate management.
And OZOBARRIER has a certain effect on infection control, sterilization measures, and deodorizing and deodorizing measures.
I think that many people are getting tired of infection control by now, but it is also necessary to prevent influenza, especially in winter, so let’s take thorough infection control measures once again. Also, if possible, be sure to get vaccinated against influenza.

What is a breach of the duty of care for safety?
A duty of care for safety is an obligation for the company to take care not to be exposed to the health and safety of its employees.
The obligation of safety consideration is stipulated in a law called the Labor Contract Law. Let’s check the text.
(Consideration for the safety of workers) In accordance with the labor contract, the employer shall take necessary care so that the worker can work while ensuring the safety of his or her life, body, etc.
Two Criteria for Determining Violation of the Duty of Care for Safety
There are two issues regarding whether a breach of duty of care exists: predictability and avoidability of consequences.
1. Predictability
Were you able to foresee the possibility of potential damage?
2. Outcome avoidability
Was it possible to avoid foreseeable damage?
Failure to take the necessary measures to avoid foreseeable harm while being foreseeable and avoidable is a breach of duty of care.
Therefore, the existence or non-existence of the above two points is an important point when determining a violation of the duty of care for safety.

Ozovaria evidence to inactivate coronavirus
Eclair Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Kazuhiro Tadokoro, hereinafter referred to as “Eclair”) is pleased to announce that through joint research (hereinafter referred to as this research) with Nara Medical University School of Medicine (Professor Juichi Yano and Associate Professor Ryuichi Nakano, Department of Microbial Infectious Diseases) and MBT Consortium (Chairman: Yuji Hosoi, hereinafter referred to as “MBT Consortium”) The inactivation effect of ozone generated by ozobarrier OZOBARRIER 20-7R-G (discharge method: 3D corona discharge method, discharge voltage: 6,000v) (hereinafter referred to as “this device”) against the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) was confirmed.
This study uses actual products to clarify the inactivation effect of the new coronavirus by the antiviral effect of ozone gas. All tests related to this study were conducted in a biosafety level 3 (BSL3) experimental facility with this device standing in a sealed desiccator under appropriate pathogen containment measures, and do not indicate the effect of this device in the actual usage environment.
We are a group company of Eclair Co., Ltd. and a Singapore subsidiary. We contribute to society by solving problems such as air, viruses and odors in Singapore.
