Hazard
In van-type vehicles, the mounting structure of the upper hinged door installed at the rear is inadequate. The plastic hinge at the door's upper edge deteriorates and fractures due to atmospheric ozone, ultraviolet radiation, and other factors. When the door opens, it may detach and fall, posing a risk of injury to workers.

Remedy
Install safety belts on both the left and right sides of the hinged door on all vehicles. Additionally, inspect the hinge in question, and replace it with a new unit if cracks are evident.
