Spotting hazards immediately and taking corrective action—even if it means halting operations—is the key to preventing accidents!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. What do you think of this tire and lug nut? 1. Should I wrap some tape around it? 2. Should I take it off and start over? 3. Should I just leave it as is since it works for now? If I don’t have the right tools or parts on hand, I’d probably go with option 1…
Is the capacity of that generator sufficient? (Selecting a Generator)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. You guys use generators, right? lol Well, that goes without saying. I brought the 60-kVA generator I just bought last month to the ground anchor job site. Electricity is essential on a job site, after all. How do you go about choosing a generator? …
First Day Back at Work in 2025!!! Just for today, I’ll be checking everyone’s health, complexion, and attire—and making sure everything’s in order on-site—over and over again!!
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Alright!!!! Alrighttttt!!!! It’s back to work! We’re kicking off business for 2025! But please go easy on me today!!!?

I’ve been assigned to a private construction site with incredibly strict safety standards, so I want to learn as much as I can, do a thorough job, and finish the project right!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Starting this month, I’ve been working on a massive private construction project. I went to inspect the power tools used on site. We never do anything like this on public works projects, but this is the first time I’ve experienced such thorough safety management on a private project. I…
I've really come to realize that even inexpensive earplugs are quite effective!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve been drilling anchor holes again for the past few days—are you all wearing earplugs? Back when I was a foreman, I wasn’t always in noisy environments, so I didn’t wear them. But lately, I’ve been using the ones shown above. Before that, I used…
If You Have a Type 2 Mark, You Don't Need a Ground! Measures to Prevent Electric Shock Accidents!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, a general contractor reached out to me and offered me a job at their next construction site. I’m truly grateful. I really hope that, little by little, I can be of service to all of you in this way. I’ll do my best—both for the general contractor’s profit and for our own company’s sake!! But enough of that. Everyone, this ma…
We've reached the point where we can do away with message boards! Don't you think?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, Ishio-kun posted this on X: “No one’s looking at this on-site anyway, so isn’t it about time we digitized it?” pic.twitter.com/kxFndpAxE4 — Ishio-kun @ Construction That’s More Fun Than Yesterday, Yo…
At construction sites, the WBGT index is like a "red light—cross with caution" sign.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It was hot the other day, but this week it’s been raining due to the typhoon. The stifling heat has eased up a bit, but since there are precautions to take against the typhoon, let’s be extra careful and do our best. Anyway, speaking of heatstroke prevention, Ishio-kun’s advice aligns with my own thoughts, so I wanted to share it with you all…
Given how hot it is, I think we should make sure to fully account for the costs associated with summer construction in our cost estimates.
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. The hot weather just keeps on going! It’s seriously hellish during the day when even air-conditioned clothing doesn’t help. I can’t stand it. Are you eating those heatstroke-prevention jellies while you’re sweating buckets? These are seriously delicious, lol. As for the portable snacks I’ve used for heatstroke prevention so far…
