New! Enta's Slope Management Schoolis an information site dedicated to slope construction, by slope construction professionals, and for slope construction professionals.

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. We’re already in the second half of July. The temperature has been easily exceeding 35 degrees day after day. I’ve been traveling all over on my own to conduct site surveys, and it’s seriously exhausting!!! The job sites are truly hell. But anyway, this time I’m going to talk about fan-equipped workwear—something I keep writing about every year…

To prevent workplace accidents, it is crucial to reduce workers’ “unsafe behaviors.” However, simply repeating the same old advice—such as “Be careful while working”—will not provide a fundamental solution. In fact, the factors that lead to unsafe behaviors can be broadly categorized as follows…

The “Situational Instinct” That Leads to Accidents When You’re Too Focused—If You Take a Moment to Think Calmly, It Makes Sense: “Why Did They Do That?” Have you ever found yourself scratching your head after an accident at a worksite, trying to figure out why the victim acted the way they did? For example, when heavy materials being hoisted lose their balance and are about to fall…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s getting hot again this year, isn’t it? It feels like the humidity is setting in early… Since many of our slope construction sites are high up on slopes with nowhere to escape to, summer really takes its toll. At our company, we always remind everyone to stay hydrated in the mornings during this time of year, but every year I wonder, “Is this really enough?…”

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Now that the rainy season has begun, we’re spending our days keeping a close eye on the weather forecast to plan our work schedule. Work stops when it rains, and we push ahead as fast as we can when it clears up. It happens every year, but this time of year really does present all sorts of challenges, lol. Anyway, today I’d like to talk about CAIF (Construction Industry…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I came across this photo and posted it on social media. It shows a platform about 1 meter high made by placing planks under the crane’s outriggers. At first glance, you might think, “That looks dangerous!” I thought so too, but if you look closely at the photo…

When it comes to on-site safety management, have you ever seen someone struggling with the fact that “workers aren’t following the manuals or procedures as they should”? When problems or accidents occur, managers undoubtedly tend to think, “That’s a violation of the rules” or “We need to enforce the procedures more strictly.” …

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When you’re working on a slope construction site, I think there are times when you notice that “even under the same conditions, the reactions of young workers and veterans are clearly different.” For example, during mortar spraying in the middle of summer, the younger workers tend to get exhausted first, whereas during rope work in the winter, the hands of the older workers…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. “Carry out” and “willingness to carry out”—we see these terms quite often in the news and safety documents, but aren’t they among those words that, to be honest, you can’t answer right away if someone asks you what they mean? Especially on construction sites, the term “willingness to carry out risky tasks” comes up as part of KY activities. Well…
