As record-breaking heatwaves become more common across the world, protecting people who work outdoors is becoming a major challenge. Construction workers, factory employees, road maintenance crews and warehouse staff often spend long hours under extreme temperatures, increasing their risk of heat stress and heatstroke.
To tackle this growing problem, Japan has introduced an innovative solution that looks straight out of the future. A Japanese company has developed a walk-in cooling booth that many are calling a "human refrigerator." Officially named the Do Reimon Box, the device is designed to cool the human body in just a few minutes, offering quick relief during hot summer days.
