The word “temporary equipment and materials” may be unfamiliar to a majority of people. Scaffoldings assembled for construction work at construction and engineering sites, and frameworks for supporting unfinished structures are called “temporary equipment and materials.” They are very familiar, and you can see them in your every day life.
As you know, safety and consideration to the environment are the most important themes in several industries. Of course, also in the construction industry, this is essential in running a business, and must be the top priority.
Therefore, our mission is to realize safe construction sites where people can work in peace. We believe that this action would lead to the development of construction industry and society, and to the happiness of people.
Before rental business of temporary equipment and materials came up, construction companies such as major contractors, had their own temporary equipment and materials, and assembled them at construction sites. However, as they went by, the division of labor of the construction industry has advance tremendously as a result, construction companies switched their temporary equipment and materials related to business to outsourcing. Now, more than 90% of temporary equipment and materials are supplied from rental companies.
In that way, the business model of renting temporary equipment and materials grew. However, after 40 years, various problems are coming out. Among these various problems, particularly big problem is that “the safety level” of temporary equipment and materials, which is most important, is not yet established within the industry. There is a background that temporary equipment and materials can be used for more than 10 years, and there is the threat that considerably old equipment and materials can also be used in constructions sites. Among these is the establishment of the safety level for temporary equipment and materials in the constructions industry.
