Issues with Full-Body Harnesses for Slope Work | Safety Equipment
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do you use a full-body harness? I’ve been using one for a while now, and I’ve noticed something I’d like to share. The full-body harness itself feels fine to use, and I hear it’s good because you can sling it over your shoulders, but there’s just one problem, lol…

Working a Two-Day Weekend Increases Efficiency | Work Styles
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Did you get to relax this weekend? I’ve been working on-site a lot lately, so I’m usually completely wiped out by the weekend, but at least I get to take it easy on Sundays lol.

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. We’ve had sudden heavy rain and thunder since the start of this week! Isn’t that amazing?? If it were just rain, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but thunder really is scary.
