Heatstroke season starts in May! Let’s start raising awareness now!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Are any of you thinking, “It’s a little chilly lately, so I’ll be fine”? It’s coming soon. That’s right! It’s *that*!!! Heatstroke! You’re probably thinking, “It’s still too early for that, right?” Well, the trend these days is that it starts as early as May…
This is definitely the best hanging hook, but it's a little pricey! Still, I highly recommend it!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. What kind of lifting hooks do you use? Most of you probably use this type, right? The one in this photo has a capacity of about 5 metric tons, so its jaw never opens, but even with a chain block, the jaw can open surprisingly easily. This hook is no longer usable…
Since you can't see the double-hook setup on the safety block, is it an effort to make it look like you can see it?
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Are you using fall arrest devices? lol Lately, I’ve been thinking, “A safety harness is good enough,” but I’m the kind of guy who gets called out on that by the safety officer during safety patrols, lol. It’s such a silly criticism, focusing on my name like that, lol. But on the job site…
Simply installing a distribution panel ensures safety!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do you use distribution panels on your job sites? The other day, we bought two new ones for our company. Circuit breakers with motor protection: Main: 125A × 1; Small: 30A × 3; Small: 60A × 1. That’s how they’re configured. 60…
Never inspect your safety harness yourself!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, during a main contractor’s safety inspection at a job site, I was called out on a safety harness issue. The issue was with the attachment hardware connecting the harness to the rope on a harness being used by a Vietnamese worker. It’s what’s commonly called a “Lolip.” It’s the one shown above. These Lolips don’t really break very often…
Balancing Profit and Structural Calculations
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s starting to feel a little warmer, isn’t it? It’s still cold enough to catch a cold, but spring will be right around the corner in just another month!!! But enough of that. Anchor scaffolding is indispensable for our work. So, you often hear people talk about structural calculations for scaffolding, right? Especially when it comes to…
The end of the work year is just around the corner! Above all, let’s focus on safety during this time!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Last week’s snow was really bad, wasn’t it? How was it in your area? Here in Nagano, where I’m working, the daytime temperature dropped to minus 7 degrees, and the hydraulic adjustment dial froze up, so I had to use a hair dryer to get it working again (lol). In Toyama, construction was suspended due to heavy snow. I hope to get most of it done by the end of the year…
The Benefits of Morning Radio Calisthenics | Why They Help Prevent Accidents at Construction Sites
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Today is the training session for supervisors of technical interns, and it’s a bit chilly! The mountainous areas are covered in snow, and with the season changing, it won’t be long before it’s time to switch to winter tires. It’s also a good idea to let your car warm up a bit—it helps the oil circulate better and makes the engine run more smoothly. As for the heater…
Regulations on Cement Stacking Heights | Cases Where a "Yes, Work Supervisor" Is Required
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’m in Vietnam starting today! The reason is that I’m here for interviews with technical intern trainees. I’ll share more updates from Vietnam later ^^ But anyway… How many layers do you stack cement in? Or rather, what’s the maximum height in centimeters that’s still safe…
