In light of increasing awareness regarding safety in residential spaces, the General Association of Construction Industry Forum, based in Yashio City, Saitama, is hosting a significant seminar focused on creating homes resistant to everyday disasters. This seminar, titled "Thorough Explanation of Everyday Disasters," will feature Yoshirō, an established occupational therapist and the CEO of HAPROT. He will share valuable insights on designing homes that minimize the risk of injuries from common hazards such as tripping and falling.

This upcoming seminar marks the third edition in our series dedicated to strengthening disaster preparedness through effective home design. Yoshirō's extensive experience as an occupational therapist—having worked for over 11 years in medical settings and engaged with over 3,000 patients—equips him with the unique knowledge to discuss practical adaptations in home environments. After transitioning into a homeowner advisor role through the establishment of HAPROT in 2022, Yoshirō has focused his efforts on creating safe, comfortable living spaces.

• - 16:00: Keynote by Yoshirō on Everyday Disaster Prevention
• - 17:30: Networking Session with participants and speakers.

This seminar presents an excellent opportunity for those in the construction and design fields, as well as homeowners keen on enhancing safety in their living spaces.
