The representative director of Yokouchi Zoen Co., Ltd. was involved in an incident on April 10, Reiwa 6 (2024), at a private residence in Shikoku Chuo City, where an employee fell and was injured during tree pruning work. The work was performed at a height exceeding 2 meters from the ground, which could pose a danger to workers due to the risk of falling. Because it was difficult to establish work platforms, the law required the use of fall prevention devices to protect workers. The company failed to take these necessary safety measures, and as a result, was convicted of violating the Labor Safety and Health Act. On October 10, Reiwa 6 (2024), the Shikoku Chuo Summary Court issued a summary order for a fine, which was finalized. This violation falls under Article 28, Paragraph 1, Item 3 of the Construction Business Act.
