Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
Did you know there's a subsidy available for full-body harnesses?
"Reiwa 2 Fiscal Year Subsidy Program to Support the Replacement of Non-Compliant Machinery and Other Equipment"
That's what they say. (I've included a link below.)
Presumably, those who were able to register and obtain certification through a slope engineering firm,
There aren't any at all, right!!!!!?
This subsidy isFull-Body Harness for Slope WorkYou can't use it for that!!!
It’s like, “I just realized this while I was putting together the application documents—give me my time back!”
Plus, since it came from a major branch operator, I was planning to file a claim, but...
So, the reason is...
A summary of the eligible expenses is provided in the lower-right corner of the application form.
With regard to the machinery and equipment listed in Item 2 thereof,
Replacement with a full-body harness that meets two or more requirements
It states:
Also, it seems that the full-body harnesses sold by Hozan come only with one-touch buckles.
If it’s two or more, the government office obviously won’t accept them, so I’ll just have to give up, lol.
In particular, the full-body harness-style safety harness for slope work manufactured by Fujii Denko—a favorite among slope workers—is currently out of stock!
Therefore, it is not listed as a recommended product on the Fujii Denko website either.
At Fujii Denko, we carry only three types of standard full-body harness safety belts for scaffolding workers. (Links are provided below.)
So, that means we have to buy our full-body harnesses at the list price—as usual!
They're around 40,000 each, right?
But you can only decide whether to buy things that are absolutely necessary, right?
And there is a very real possibility that thefts will increase for a while.
Sadly, there are always people in the same line of work who have no qualms about stealing from others.
Full-body harnesses are expensive, so make sure toTheft Prevention MeasuresI'd like to keep doing that.
Scaffolding contractors, please apply for subsidies to help reduce your expenses as much as possible.
Also, please let me know if there's anything that might be eligible for a subsidy.
See you later.
