| Summary | On May 16, 2022, Lin Kogyo Co., Ltd. conducted waterproofing work on a rooftop of a condominium in Chuo Ward, Sapporo, using the rooftop as a work platform at a height of 31.49 meters. The company did not install guardrails or similar safety barriers around the rooftop's edges, despite the feasibility of doing so, thereby failing to take necessary safety measures to prevent falls. As a result, the company and its officers were sentenced to fines by the Sapporo Summary Court based on Article 21, Paragraph 2 of the Industrial Safety and Health Act and Article 519, Paragraph 1 of the Industrial Safety and Health Regulations. This constitutes a violation under Article 28, Paragraph 1, Item 3 of the Construction Business Act. The authority responsible for the enforcement was Hokkaido, and the case was reported through the mutual construction industry reporting system of the Hokkaido Labour Bureau. |
