Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Hazard prediction activities, so-called KY activities, have the effect of making on-site workers have a sense of participation by having them voluntarily engage in the activities. However, there is a limit to the ability of on-site workers to spontaneously think about and implement content suitable for hazard prediction activities. In addition, hazard prediction activities are often carried out in work teams, but there may be variations in the efforts of hazard prediction activities for each work team. It is required to effectively implement hazard prediction activities by having on-site workers voluntarily engage in them.

[0005] An object of the present disclosure is to provide an information processing method, an information processing program, and an information processing apparatus that can promote the effective implementation of hazard prediction activities.

[Figure 7] This is an example of a start screen for hazard prediction activities. [Figure 8] This is an example of an execution screen for hazard prediction activities. [Embodiment for Implementing the Invention]

[0014] At the site of construction work or the like, it is useful to carry out hazard prediction activities, so-called KY activities, before starting work in order to enhance the safety of the work. When the workers who carry out the work at the site spontaneously carry out hazard prediction activities with a sense of being involved, the effect of the hazard prediction activities becomes greater.

[0015] However, there may be variations in the efforts of hazard prediction activities by workers or by the work groups or teams to which the workers belong. Although it is necessary to consider the content of hazard prediction activities in order to carry out hazard prediction activities suitable for the work content, it is difficult for workers to spontaneously carry out hazard prediction activities when there is no time to consider the content of hazard prediction activities or when they cannot come up with the content of hazard prediction activities.

[0016] Therefore, support is required so that workers can spontaneously engage in appropriate hazard prediction activities. Hereinafter, an information processing system 1 (see FIG. 1) that can support the implementation of hazard prediction activities by workers will be described.

In other words, at least a portion of the database 30 may be included in the information processing device 10.

[0036] (Example of operation of Information Processing System 1) The information processing system 1 related to this disclosure provides support services for hazard prediction activities. Specifically, the information processing device 10 generates information on the content of hazard prediction activities appropriate for the work based on information on the work, and outputs the generated information to terminal devices 20 used by personnel such as foremen or workers of cooperating companies who enter the work site where the work is being carried out. In this way, the information processing device 10 can propose to the personnel of the cooperating company the content of hazard prediction activities appropriate for the work being carried out by the personnel of the cooperating company.

[0037] In this disclosure, "use" of the terminal device 20 by personnel such as foremen or workers of subcontractors entering the site may include the foremen or workers of subcontractors entering the site possessing the terminal device 20 as their own property, or the foremen or workers of subcontractors entering the site possessing the terminal device 20 that has been lent to them by the general contractor or subcontractor, or the terminal device 20 that has been lent to them by the general contractor or subcontractor being shared by a group of multiple foremen or workers of subcontractors entering the site. When multiple personnel share one terminal device 20, the terminal device 20 may identify the individual user and output information to the terminal device 20 that is appropriate for that user.

[0038] Hazard prediction activities are activities that prevent accidents or disasters from occurring during work by understanding the hazards inherent in the work and the measures to take to avoid those hazards.

[0039] Information regarding the content of hazard prediction activities may include photographs, illustrations, or text describing the work that serves as the subject matter for considering potential hazards. Information regarding the content of hazard prediction activities may include correct examples of hazards inherent in the subject work. Information regarding the content of hazard prediction activities may include correct examples of countermeasures to avoid hazards inherent in the subject work. Information regarding the content of hazard prediction activities may include only a description of the subject work, without including correct examples of hazards and countermeasures. Information regarding the content of hazard prediction activities may include the subject work and correct examples of hazards inherent in that work, but without including correct examples of countermeasures. By omitting correct examples from the information regarding the content of hazard prediction activities, workers can be encouraged to think independently during the hazard prediction activity.

[0040] Information related to the work, used to generate information about the content of hazard prediction activities, is also called work information. Work information includes at least one of the following: work instructions from the general contractor at the site, the type of business of the cooperating company, or the skill level of the foreman or worker of the cooperating company registered in the Construction Career Up System (CCUS).

[0041] Work instructions may include, for example, instructions for installing an air conditioner's outdoor unit. Hazard prediction activities suitable for air conditioner outdoor unit installation work may include, for example, the risk of workers getting their hands or feet caught and injured when installing the outdoor unit, or the risk of workers falling from a ladder or similar object when installing the outdoor unit.

[0042] The types of businesses that can be included in the contracting agreement may include scaffolders, welders, rebar workers, or electricians. Scaffolders are those who perform work at height. Welders are those who perform welding work. Rebar workers are those who perform work using reinforcing steel. Electricians are those who perform work using electricity. The types of businesses that can be included in the contracting agreement are not limited to these examples and may include a variety of other businesses.

[0043] According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism website, which can be accessed at the following URL as of November 29, 2024, the Construction Career Advancement System is "an initiative to register and accumulate information on the qualifications and work history of construction workers across the industry, and to connect this to appropriate treatment according to skills and experience." https: / / www.mlit.go.jp / tochi_fudousan_kensetsugyo / const / ccus_about.html

[0044] The proficiency level of foremen or workers of cooperating companies registered in the Construction Career Advancement System may include, for example, work experience such as the number of years or projects performed, or the presence or absence of qualifications necessary or useful for performing the work.

[0045] The following describes an example of how the information processing system 1 related to this disclosure provides support services for hazard prediction activities. Hazard prediction activities are often carried out before personnel such as foremen or workers from cooperating companies enter the site and begin work. The support services for hazard prediction activities provided by the information processing system 1 related to this disclosure may be linked to or included in the site's access control system.

[0046] The control unit 11 of the information processing device 10 may execute an information processing method including the steps of the flowchart illustrated in Figure 2. The information processing method may be implemented as an information processing program to be executed by the processor of the control unit 11. The information processing program may be stored on a non-temporary computer-readable medium.

[0047] The control unit 11 registers the contents of common hazard prediction activities (KY activities) as templates for entry and exit management by selecting the industry (S1). Procedure S1 is executed according to the operation of the labor safety and health manager, etc., for each general contractor company that has contracted to use the hazard prediction activity support service. Procedure S1 is executed when each company starts using the hazard prediction activity support service. Procedure S1 is also executed when each company reviews the registered contents of the hazard prediction activity templates. The review of the registered contents of the templates may be performed, for example, on a monthly basis. The timing of the review of the registered contents may differ from company to company.

[0048] A hazard prediction activity template is a document that outlines the key points to focus on during a hazard prediction activity. These points may include locations where hazards are present in the work site, or the types of hazards present in the work site. The hazard prediction activity template may also include measures to avoid the hazards present in the work site. Furthermore, the hazard prediction activity template may include information linking the types of hazards present in the work site with the measures to avoid those hazards.

[0049] Hazard prediction activity templates may be created for each type of work. For example, in a hazard prediction activity template for ladder work, the hazard that a worker may lose their balance and fall while working on a ladder may be associated with countermeasures such as working with someone to secure the ladder instead of working alone, or checking that the ladder is stable before starting work.

[0050] A hazard prediction activity template may consist of information combining an illustration of the work site, a description of the work to be performed at that site, items of potential accidents or incidents that may occur when performing that work, and countermeasures that can be taken to avoid such accidents or incidents.

[0051] The types of businesses of the cooperating companies selected when registering a template may include the aforementioned scaffolders, welders, rebar workers, or electricians.

[0052] The work performed by scaffolders involves inherent risks such as workers falling from heights, or building materials or tools falling from heights. A template for hazard prediction activities related to scaffolders may include a focus on hazards related to heights.

[0053] The work performed by welders involves inherent risks such as burns or explosions caused by the fire used in welding. A template for hazard prediction activities related to welding may include a point of focus on the hazards related to handling fire.

[0054] The work performed by rebar workers involves inherent dangers, such as being trapped by rebar. A template for hazard prediction activities related to rebar work may include points to focus on regarding the hazards associated with handling rebar.

[0055] The work performed by electricians carries inherent risks such as electric shock or electrical leakage. A template for hazard prediction activities related to electricians may include points to focus on regarding the hazards associated with handling electricity.

[0056] The types of businesses that can be listed for cooperating companies may also include temporary construction work, demolition work, site preparation work, ground improvement work, foundation work, carpentry work, roofing work, exterior work, interior work, or sheet metal work, as shown in the editing box 51 for businesses in the master management section of the settings screen exemplified in Figure 3. Templates for hazard prediction activities related to each business may be included as points to focus on regarding the hazards expected in each business.

[0057] Returning to Figure 2, the control unit 11 registers the work instructions at the work site into the entry / exit management system (S2). The procedure in S2 is performed according to the actions of the site representative or other personnel for each general contractor company that has contracted to use the hazard prediction activity support service. The procedure in S2 is also performed for each work site, either before the start of work at each site or at each stage of the work process.

[0058] When a foreman or other supervisor from a cooperating company registers entry to the site, the control unit 11 confirms the work instructions issued by the site representative of the main contractor to the foreman or supervisor from the cooperating company (S3). Entry registration is performed by displaying an entry registration screen on the terminal device 20 used by the foreman or supervisor from the cooperating company and accepting the entry registration operation. Entry registration may include time stamping. Time stamping is a record of the time of entry to the site. Entry registration may also include registration of the fact that entry was made to the site, regardless of the time of entry. When entry registration is performed by the terminal device 20 used by the foreman or supervisor from the cooperating company, the control unit 11 acquires information that identifies the terminal device 20 used by the foreman or supervisor from the cooperating company. This information that identifies the terminal device 20 used by the foreman or supervisor from the cooperating company is also called contractor information. The procedure in S3 and the procedures from S4 onwards described later are performed for each site and each work day, according to the entry registration made by the foreman or supervisor from each cooperating company.

[0059] Work instructions may be registered in the access control system by the general contractor's site representative, etc. Work instructions may also be registered in the construction management system. Work instructions may also be registered in the database 30. The control unit 11 may obtain work instructions from the access control system, construction management system, or database 30 via the communication unit 13.

[0060] Work instructions may include information that identifies the cooperating company, such as the name of the cooperating company that is instructed to perform the work by the main contractor. Work instructions may include instructions to wear fall protection equipment, such as a full-body harness or waist belt, when working at height. Work instructions may include instructions to take fire safety measures, such as installing fire-resistant sheets, when working with fire. Work instructions may include instructions prohibiting unqualified persons from performing work that is restricted to qualified persons.

[0061] In addition to work instructions, the control unit 11 may also acquire, via the communication unit 13, the type of business of the cooperating company or the proficiency level of personnel such as foremen or workers of the cooperating company registered in the Construction Career Up System. The type of business of the cooperating company or the proficiency level of personnel of the cooperating company may be registered in the entry / exit management system, construction management system, or database 30, similar to the work instructions. The control unit 11 may acquire the type of business of the cooperating company or the proficiency level of personnel of the cooperating company from the entry / exit management system, construction management system, or database 30 via the communication unit 13. In other words, the control unit 11 may acquire work information from the entry / exit management system, construction management system, or database 30 via the communication unit 13.

[0062] The control unit 11 suggests the content of hazard prediction activities to the foreman or other person in charge of the cooperating company based on the type of business or work instructions of the cooperating company (S4). The control unit 11 transmits the suggested content of hazard prediction activities to the terminal device 20, which can be identified by the contractor information obtained in the procedure of S3. The suggested content of hazard prediction activities may include, for example, the hazards expected in each type of business as points to focus on in the hazard prediction activities. Alternatively, the suggested content of hazard prediction activities may include, for example, the hazards expected according to the work instructions as points to focus on in the hazard prediction activities.

[0063] If the work instructions include instructions to wear fall protection equipment when working at height, the control unit 11 may suggest, as part of the hazard prediction activity, content that links the work content, such as "Perform work at height," with the hazards expected in working at height and countermeasures, such as "Wear a full harness because there is a risk of falling."

[0064] If the work instructions include instructions to take fire safety measures when using fire, the control unit 11 may suggest, as part of the hazard prediction activity, the work content such as "Perform welding work," and the content that links the hazards expected in the work using fire and the countermeasures to be taken, such as "Remove flammable materials and prepare water buckets as there is a risk of ignition."

[0065] The control unit 11 may refrain from suggesting abstract content such as "pay attention to your hands and feet" as part of the hazard prediction activity.

[0066] The control unit 11 determines whether to register the hazard prediction activity using the suggested content as is (S5). The control unit 11 may perform the determination in S5 based on the operation input from the foreman of the cooperating company, etc. If the control unit 11 registers the content of the hazard prediction activity using the suggested content as is (S5: YES), it registers the suggested content as the content of the hazard prediction activity and proceeds to the procedure in S10.

[0067] If the control unit 11 does not register the hazard prediction activity using the suggested content as is (S5:NO), it determines whether to register the hazard prediction activity using the registered template (S6). The control unit 11 may perform the determination in S6 based on the operation input from the foreman of the cooperating company. The control unit 11 may display the hazard prediction activity (KY activity) registration screen illustrated in Figure 4 on the terminal device 20 used by the foreman of the cooperating company. The hazard prediction activity registration screen includes an operation button 52 for "Add from KY activity template" to select to add the content of the hazard prediction activity from the registered template, and an operation button 53 for "Add input item" to add the content of the hazard prediction activity by inputting without using the registered template. If the operation button 52 is operated on the terminal device 20, the control unit 11 determines that the hazard prediction activity will be registered using the registered template. If the operation button 53 is operated, the control unit 11 does not determine that the hazard prediction activity will be registered using the registered template.

[0068] Returning to Figure 2, if the control unit 11 determines that it will register a hazard prediction activity using a registered template (S6: YES), it registers the content of the hazard prediction activity from the registered template (S7). The control unit 11 may present the registered templates to the foreman of the cooperating company, and register the template selected by the foreman as the content of the hazard prediction activity for the work to be carried out at that site on that day. The control unit 11 may display the template addition screen, as exemplified in Figure 5, on the terminal device 20 so that the foreman of the cooperating company can select a template. The template addition screen includes a display frame 54 for a list of registered templates and additional operation buttons 55. The control unit 11 accepts checks in the checkboxes included in the display frame 54 for the list of templates on the terminal device 20, and registers the checked templates as hazard prediction activities in response to the operation of the additional operation buttons 55. The control unit 11 may also display templates filtered by the cooperating company's industry from among the registered templates in the display frame 54.

[0069] Returning to Figure 2, if the control unit 11 does not determine that it will register a hazard prediction activity using a registered template (S6: NO), it receives input of the content of the hazard prediction activity from the foreman of the cooperating company and registers the input content as the content of the hazard prediction activity (S8). The foreman of the cooperating company may, for example, register the content of the hazard prediction activity that includes points to focus on if the registered template does not include potential hazards arising from special work instructions or special environmental or weather conditions.

[0070] The control unit 11 may support the input of the content of the hazard prediction activity by using a model that outputs the content of the hazard prediction activity. The model may be a large-scale language model (LLM). When the control unit 11 causes the LLM to output the content of the hazard prediction activity, it may generate prompts to be input to the LLM based on the work information and input the generated prompts to the LLM.

[0071] After executing the procedure in S7 or S8, the control unit 11 stores the data registered as hazard prediction activities and trains the suggestion function of the support service product (S9). The suggestion function may be implemented by a trained model. The procedure in S9 is optional. The training may be performed by the control unit 11. The training may be performed by a device other than the information processing device 10. If a device other than the information processing device 10 performs the training and generates or updates a trained model, the information processing device 10 may obtain the trained model from the device that performed the training.

[0072] When a worker from a cooperating company registers entry to the site, the control unit 11 prompts the worker from the cooperating company to confirm the details of the hazard prediction activities registered in procedure S5, S7, or S8 for the work that the worker from the cooperating company will perform at that site (S10).

[0073] The control unit 11 may display the entry registration screen, as illustrated in Figure 6, on the terminal device 20 used by the worker of the cooperating company. The entry registration screen includes an operation button 56 labeled "Enter and proceed to KY" for registering entry and conducting hazard prediction activities. The control unit 11 registers that the worker has entered the site in response to the operation of the operation button 56. The control unit 11 may also register the time when the operation button 56 is operated as the time the worker entered the site, i.e., it performs a time stamp. When entry registration is performed by the terminal device 20 used by the worker of the cooperating company, the control unit 11 acquires information that identifies the terminal device 20 used by the worker of the cooperating company. The information that identifies the terminal device 20 used by the worker of the cooperating company is included in the contractor information.

[0074] When a worker from a cooperating company registers entry to the site, the control unit 11 may display a hazard prediction activity start screen, as illustrated in Figure 7, on the terminal device 20 in order to have the worker perform hazard prediction activities.
