Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
The other day, there was a major accident at a certain large general contractor.
It is truly unfortunate that the person has passed away.
May he rest in peace.
I don't know the full details yet, but,
It would be great if we could consistently make the accidents that happen almost every day public, raise awareness about them, and work to prevent them from happening again.
There’s a trend on social media where people post unrealistic images to make it seem as though ordinary amateurs are engaging in dangerous activities, and,
It’s a real shame that a complete novice is going on and on about this.
I want you to understand just how tough it is on a general contractor's construction site.
Major general contractors prioritize safety over the construction schedule.
Personally, I also think it’s definitely a good idea to gain experience working on a general contractor’s construction site.
That's because I believe it's also a place where you can learn about safety properly.
When an accident happens, most people think, “Why did this have to happen!?”
Since this happens quite often, it's important to make a conscious effort every day.
Let's work steadily every day to build a foundation of safety!
But that's beside the point.
I was browsing the web when I came across an interesting article, and in it I saw the term “Dunning-Kruger effect.”
Amateurs tend to be the most confident.
As I gained more knowledge and experience, my confidence began to wane, and once I reached the level of an expert...
It’s true—the less capable someone is, the more they talk, right? lol (Is this especially common among people who’ve only ever worked in sales?? lol)
Well, I'm part of that group myself, so I'm not really in a position to judge others, lol.
The more experienced you are, the better you understand the risks, so you won't say anything foolish.
These days, you can find professional-level knowledge and skills online, so even amateurs can at least speak with some degree of expertise.
However, even if you say that with complete confidence, it’s useless unless it’s backed by knowledge gained through experience.
The less capable a person (or company) is, the more they tend to overstate their abilities, claiming, “We can do this, we can do that, and we can handle all sorts of specialized construction methods used by major firms!”
People with deep knowledge and experience don’t say much precisely because they are aware of various risks.
I feel like this might be a good tip for finding a good construction company, lol.
I figure it’s probably pretty easy, right? The world is built on surprisingly simple mechanisms, so it should be easy, shouldn’t it?
I'm the type of person who says things like that, so it looks like I've got a long way to go... orz
See you later.
