Japan Association of Safety Staging Technology
www.jasst.org
Though our field work is seemingly similar to construction industry, in which the safety system and its standard are established and worker's safety is defended by restraint laws and rules, it is quite difference from the construction industry in the industry structure and ordering system in addition to the particularity of concert/event. Thus, those restraint law and rule for construction industry cannot be applicable to our industry. We think that it is a prime task to develop our own security measures for the engineers and the staff involved in our industry.
