Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
It was really hot the other day, wasn't it!
Our pop-up tent has been a real lifesaver!
Did you notice how hot it was the other day?
According to the Japan Meteorological Agency and other sources, temperatures the other day were around 38 or 39 degrees.
However, in actual practice,
It's 52.1 degrees up on the scaffolding!!!!
The temperature inside the tent with the shade cloth installed was 38.1 degrees!!
That's a 14-degree difference!!!
Also, wearing air-conditioned clothing significantly increases your risk of heatstroke!!
Actually, I think air-conditioned workwear is better suited for our industry in the spring and fall rather than the height of summer, don't you think?
We often calculate the WBGT index (heat index) on-site, but,
That applies only to the weather station's weather box.
At our actual worksite, the temperature is over 50 degrees!
And even though the danger index is high, we're still working, aren't we? lol
| (Blue) Generally safe | (Light Blue) Caution | (Yellow) Alert | (Orange) High Alert | (Red) Danger |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under 21 Staying Hydrated at the Right Time |
21–25 Stay Well-Hydrated |
25–28 Take Active Breaks |
28–31 Stop strenuous exercise |
31 or older Exercise is generally suspended |
Even if the index is at a dangerous level, please be very careful while working!!
What is safety, anyway? lol
You start to feel that way, don't you?
Especially during this recent record-breaking heat.
Our way of beating the heat is to stay in the shade!
The key is to stay out of the sun!!
Just doing this alone can really help reduce physical fatigue!!!
Always stay in the shade and take cover while drilling!
The umbrella in the photo isn't very useful, so I plan to set up the same homemade tent.
The reason they're not very useful is that they get blown away by the wind or their legs break right away, don't they?
It's vulnerable to sudden gusts of wind, so there's nothing we can do about it.
Since it's for general use, I can't really complain lol
A homemade tent can withstand moderate winds, and since it’s made with 20 mm round steel tubing, it’s very sturdy!
Today, I'm going to set up the item included here and try measuring the temperature.
It's hot again today, so let's just stay in the shade and take it easy while we work.
See you later.
