Security and Safety
An office must be "safe and secure."
With this in mind, ITOKI provides a variety of products and services.
"Security" involves monitoring access and protecting confidentiality, while "Safety" focuses on thorough disaster prevention and safety measures.
With these two pillars, we create an office space where everyone can work with peace of mind.
Creating a "strong office" from the perspective of security and safety.
ITOKI fully supports you with its vast data resources, development capabilities, and rich track record.
No matter how stylish the design, we will not propose an office where you cannot work in peace. Guided by this principle, ITOKI has been committed to office "security" and "safety" for many years. We build a "strong office" that protects the safety and security of workers from various aspects, including security systems that monitor entry, exit, and confidential information, furniture designed to resist falling during earthquakes, and office layouts that are crafted to reduce disaster risks.
Security
In addition to gates to prevent intrusions and authentication systems to control entry and exit, we have taken thorough measures from all angles, including products that enhance storage security and spaces designed with clever zoning.
Safety
For many years, we have researched technologies to protect lives during disasters, focusing on both products and space design. We have the industry's only "vibration test room" in-house, and propose highly earthquake-resistant furniture, fall prevention units, disaster mitigation layouts, and more.
Office Security
Measures against suspicious individuals and prevention of confidential information leaks
In order to prevent confidential office information from being exposed to the risk of leakage, it is now essential to manage entry and exit to keep intruders out, lock storage furniture, and monitor access status. ITOKI offers everything you need, from products to space design that sets security levels for each zone.
Entry/Exit Check
空間をオープンにせず、適切なメンバーのみが入退室できるように管理する入退室管理システム製品、「セキュレクティ」。認証の方法も、ICカード式や暗証番号との併用、暗証番号のみなど、多彩な方式から選べます。
Storage
Security measures for physical storage are also essential to prevent information leaks. The eS Cabinet is an easy-to-use storage unit that boasts robust security, combining strong locks with modern design and functionality, making it the next standard. In addition, Systema Secure Lock, which can be retrofitted to existing storage shelves, provides enhanced functionality such as history storage while maintaining ease of use.
Space Design
In an office where various people come and go, it is essential to incorporate "spatial planning" to maintain security. ITOKI proposes a design that incorporates office division (zoning) based on security levels. We will separate and manage areas accessed by visitors, areas reserved for internal members, and areas where confidential information is handled.
◆Zoning according to security level
ZONE 1, Public Zone: An open area where residents and visitors can freely enter.
ZONE 2, Visitor Zone: An area accessible for specific purposes, such as meetings with business partners.
ZONE 3, Internal Zone: An area accessible only to internal employees.
ZONE 4, Specific Zone: Areas where important information is handled, such as executive offices and server rooms.
Office Safety
What is a "disaster-resistant" office?
Office disaster prevention is extremely important because it is a place where many employees gather and work. ITOKI has accumulated a wealth of professional knowledge, from designing furniture that won’t fall over in the event of an earthquake to creating office layouts that protect lives. We provide safe office solutions from both product and space design perspectives.
Product Development
Cabinets and other storage furniture that normally make up an office have the potential to fall over during an earthquake. This poses not only the risk of being crushed directly beneath them but also the danger of blocking evacuation routes, damaging glass, and scattering stored items. To mitigate these risks, the first step is to ensure that they "don't fall." ITOKI has conducted a variety of research into storage furniture and room partitions, and utilizes this research in product development.
Equipped with the industry's only "vibration test chamber" to thoroughly verify strength and earthquake resistance
ITOKI believes that its furniture must be safe, which is why it houses the industry’s only "vibration test chamber" in its factory. This chamber subjects products to simulated earthquake conditions and vibrations, allowing us to verify their strength and earthquake resistance. This test uses actual seismic waves to research earthquake resistance functions that are more in line with reality. For example, when developing partitions and cabinets directly related to earthquake resistance in offices, we conduct verification using waves from the "Southern Hyogo Prefecture Earthquake (Kobe Wave)" and the "Tohoku Pacific Coast Earthquake (Haga Wave)."
Space Design
To prepare for disasters, it is crucial to plan the office structure itself, starting with the office layout. ITOKI leverages its extensive knowledge of disaster mitigation, drawn from years of accumulated expertise, to design office spaces. The following is a summary of key points for an office layout that is resistant to earthquakes. We fully utilize this knowledge to support our customers in designing their offices.
Key points for an earthquake-resistant office layout
- 1Tall cabinets should be placed in enclosed spaces to prevent them from falling over or blocking circulation paths. Additionally, consider installing only short items along the flow lines to keep pathways clear.
- 2The safe is securely fixed to the floor to prevent it from shifting.
- 3Aisles must be at least 1.2 meters wide. The main evacuation route should be at least 1.6 m wide.
- 4The server room is fully equipped with measures to prevent falls, fire, and water damage, ensuring the protection of information.
- 5Multifunction machines (copy machines) are placed in enclosed spaces.
- 6Partitions installed along evacuation routes should be highly earthquake-resistant.
- 7Furniture in the drawing room should be connected as much as possible and fixed to the floor.
- 8Furniture near the window should be firmly fixed to the floor to prevent it from falling or breaking the glass.
- 9Prepare equipment such as televisions and whiteboards to check and share the latest disaster information.
- 10Secure a place to store stockpiles.
- 11Prepare space and equipment that can be used as a response room in the event of a disaster.
