I think it’s simply going too far to say that construction can’t proceed unless we’re prepared to deal with even the most unlikely accidents, but that’s just the reality of the situation...
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Are you managing safety effectively? Safety management should be simple. Personally, I think simple safety management is the best. It’s important to ensure everyone is fully aware of it and to raise their awareness. The other day, I attended a safety committee meeting at a major company. About that…
If you don't protect it, everything will disappear—it's no one else's fault; it's your own responsibility. That's the world of the Internet!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Hey, everyone! Are you taking online security seriously? There’s been a spate of high-profile incidents involving the hijacking of brokerage accounts that have been making headlines lately. The true extent of the damage from these brokerage account “hijackings” has been revealed: 95.4 billion yen in unauthorized trades. The Financial Services Agency…
Just because there’s no precedent, we often can’t use good construction methods or methods suited to the site.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When you’re working on a construction site, there are times when you just have to use a specific method, right? Or, to put it another way, maybe there are cases where a project can only be done that way, or where using that method means your company stands to make a profit (lol)? So, you decide, “It has to be this method!” and submit a change request to the local government. &nbs…
Tips for Preventing Collapse During De-watering Boring Operations
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. In dewatering drilling operations, after drilling the borehole, you insert a strainer pipe and then pull out the outer casing, right? At that point, the strainer pipe tends to fall along with the outer casing (a phenomenon where the inserted strainer pipe falls down together with the outer casing). What should you do in such a situation…
Re: Reiwa 7 (1st Session) Training Course for Core Technicians in Slope Protection for Registered Roads, etc.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Have you heard of this certification? “Registered Road Slope Protection Core Technician”—it’s a new certification from the National Association for Specific Slope Protection, a general incorporated association! First of all, what exactly is a “Core Technician”? “Someone who possesses particularly advanced skills and extensive experience at construction sites…”
"Remote site management is impossible." Isn't that just a misconception? (From the God of Construction)
The Current Situation Is Far More Dangerous Than Remote Management. What comes to mind when you hear “remote on-site management”? Don’t you feel like criticizing it, thinking, “What if an accident happens on site?” But the current situation is even more alarming! For example, if you leave the site in the hands of junior staff while you…
The truth is that things are happening in Japan that you wouldn't know about if you were just living your everyday life!

In environments where the heat index is 28 or higher or the air temperature is 31 degrees or higher, if safety measures are neglected during work lasting at least one consecutive hour or exceeding four hours in a single day
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare issued a mandate regarding heatstroke prevention measures. “The mandate applies to work performed for one continuous hour or more, or for more than four hours in a single day, in environments where the heat index is 28 or higher or the air temperature is 31 degrees or higher. If employers fail to implement these measures, starting in June…”
Designs are often simple on-site, but all too often, the route to get there hasn't been thought through!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. You know how some job sites are just really cramped, right? In those cases, the general contractor almost always ends up having to cover the costs out of pocket. I always wonder why they don’t take that into account in the design to some extent. That’s why there are so many problems. Until the equipment is installed…
