Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
It feels like we're already in the second half of summer.
The afternoon sun is starting to feel worse than the heat, isn't it?
Let's be careful of the heat!
But that's beside the point.
How do you write on the blackboard in the photos of material inspections?
Is this what you mean?

What is wrong with this photo?
The blackboard says "300 bags of ordinary cement."

How about this one, too?
The blackboard says "300 bags of ordinary cement."
Does this guy's smile look a little forced? lol
So, what do you think of this?

It says "160 bags of quick-setting cement" on the blackboard.
What is the difference here?
Actually,How to Write on a BlackboardThat's it.
The photo above simply shows the number of bags.
However, the photo below shows 6 bags per tier × 6 rows × 4 columns + 4 bags per row × 4 columns = 160 bags
*For some reason, the numbers in the photo are wrong lol (Sorry for the mistake on the blackboard.)

This is a square washer.
This is also explained in detail.

Please look at the blackboard.
10 sheets/bundle × 2 stacks × 6 rows × 6 columns + 10 sheets/bundle × 8 bundles = 800 sheets
You can pretty much tell just by looking at the photo, right?
What I'm trying to say is,
The inspector looks at the photo, then at the blackboard, and skips this photo.
When I say, “What exactly do inspectors look for?”, it sounds as if I were an inspector myself, but—
I was told this by an inspector after an inspection back when I was a site representative, so I'll just write it down as is lol
Is there detailed oversight?
How to write on the blackboard, the neatness of the photo album, the clarity of the photos, and how to organize documents
Work sites where the groundwork is done properly usually turn out beautifully!
That's what I was told. (I was told other things, too, but...)
Back then, there was a period when I was really into construction management, lol.
Back when I was micromanaging everything, I used to get annoyed every time an inspector pointed something out, lol.
Even if I think, “No one else goes this far!” there are still things to point out, huh? lol
So, I asked the inspector all sorts of questions, and he turned out to be a really nice person—I learned a lot from him.
That's what I heard at the time.
(You don't see photo albums like that these days, but back then, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the prefectural governments used different ones.)
(Although I use a digital photo album now.)
Even in the photos of the new arrivals, you can tell how meticulous they are just by the way they write on the chalkboard.
Let's do our work carefully!!
It’s easy to set yourself apart from the competition with just a few small tweaks.
Because even if I say all this, only two or three out of every 100 people will actually do it, lol.
People are pretty reluctant to take action. Especially conservative Japanese people.
Let's copy and borrow the good parts.
Let's work on improving our shortcomings.
If you use digital whiteboards effectively, they can really make a difference on the job site!
See you later.
