Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
I forgot to take pictures of the cherry blossoms at the Iwakura Cherry Blossom Festival today lol
Just when you're wondering, "Are they in full bloom yet?"—it's going to rain this afternoon.
The weather's been unpredictable this year, hasn't it?
But that's beside the point.
Do you know how long a slope safety rope lasts?
It’s common sense, I suppose, but I doubt the craftsmen who actually use it are aware of it, and,
You're not using it on purpose, are you?
The replacement interval (service life) for the main rope depends on its visual condition, but is up to 3 years (according to the manufacturer).
However, since this is in very good condition, the rope I use on a regular basis isTwo years at mostThat's it.
However, the current trend is toward placing greater emphasis on safety.
So,Each company's view is that the maximum period is one year.That's right.
Ropes that are one year old must be discarded.
Actually, I'm in favor of this.
If there were a practice of discarding ropes—even those that are still safe—and replacing them with new ones,
The idea is that it helps prevent accidents before they happen and raises awareness.
Well, there are some major companies where the probationary period can be as long as six months. (If you just smirked, that’s the company you’re thinking of, lol.)
Since major companies are all adding various descriptive tags, we decided to create our own as well.
Please wait just a little longer lol. I'm in a meeting right now.
In cases where accidents have been occurring more frequently than with main ropes, nylon slings are often involved.
It's hard to tell, isn't it? Things like how long it'll last and which parts are defective.
If it's starting to tear a little, you can throw it away, but...
The manufacturer's specified disposal criteria are 3 years for outdoor use.That's it.
By the way,Obayashi Corporation, a major general contractor, will be dissolved within a yearThat's it.
To put it another way,Use on NEXCO is prohibited lol
There are disposal guidelines for all sorts of items.
Sometimes you come across something so unexpected that you just go, “What?! This?!”
It is extremely important to know the facts accurately.
There's so much I don't know—I'm really learning a lot lol
See you later.
