A Simple Way to Become a More Capable Person!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Don’t you always find yourself noticing certain things? Take cars, for example. Cars just like yours—don’t you see them all the time? Your favorite color—you see it often, right? Things related to your hobbies or interests—they really catch your eye, don’t they? That’s what’s known as the “color bath”…
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…
Are You Actually Hiding Your Overtime? [The 2024 Problem in the Construction Industry] (From “The God of Construction”)
Slow Progress on Overtime Regulations The other day, while reading *Nikkei Construction*, a set of data caught my eye. Published by the Japan Construction Industry Federation (JCI) in September 2022, the data shows that progress on overtime regulations has been slow. Among major companies, …
Reinforcement Installer: How many anchors need to be installed!?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I received a question on my Ameblo blog the other day, so I thought I’d answer it here. “The local government asked me, ‘What’s the basis for requiring 30 or more anchors per 100 square meters?’ I’ve asked my senior colleagues and searched online, but I can’t even find a single reference… I’ve been looking into it from various angles, but…”
Just point and say it!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I found oil on the front bumper of my leased car! So I took a closer look, and lo and behold—the cap was missing! I actually just picked up this car from the shop the other day after having it serviced, lol. The mechanic probably just forgot to put it back on. As for the cap…
Voluntary Temporary Housing and Designated Temporary Housing (Part 2)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Picking up where I left off the other day, I’ll be covering designated temporary structures—as opposed to voluntary temporary structures—this time. Since they’re called “designated,” they’re obviously designated by the local government, but what exactly is designated? Basically, everything, lol. Everything—from the design to the specifications—is specified by the local government. Well, usually it’s written in the construction plans…
