Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
Now that Christmas is over, it's time for New Year's.
I definitely don't go around saying, "I'm going somewhere every year!" lol
Other than work, I'm really a homebody, lol.
So, I’m either sleeping, playing video games, reading books, or working.
In that case, work takes up a large portion of your time.
It's only a few days until the end of the work year.
Let's stay focused!
But that's beside the point.
A double-strand main rope,
It has been five months since the law went into effect in July of Heisei 28.
How's everyone doing?
Are you doing a good job?
To be honest, we haven't really gotten the hang of it yet.
Before I knew it, there was only one left.
They say they do try to be mindful of each other, but,
It seems that, as expected, they’re put off by how difficult it is to install.
As I've mentioned before, the weight of the safety block is definitely a drawback.
It's about 10 kilograms for every 15 meters or so.
It seems that, for now, using it in combination with a single lollipop is the best approach.
It's kind of in the way, lol
It was reported that the safety block is difficult to use when it's in the wrong position, so,
I used it like this, mounted in one spot.
That's another clever idea.
The downside is that you can only use one rope and one safety block...
The advantage is that it's easy to move around in.
It looks like this issue will continue for a while, but,
It seems there are various moves afoot to change the specifications.
I don't know yet how it will turn out, but I'm looking forward to it.
I'm starting to feel like making some rope-based mechanisms, lol.
See you later.

Thank you for all your hard work.
You're right; the rule about using two parent ropes is a bit of a headache.
This is a story from a colleague’s job site: just like Entā-sama did, they hooked a guide rope onto the main rope, but the client pointed it out and made them correct it...
"The safety block's wire should be used in a straight line. It wears out at the bend, and if it comes loose, it will swing like a pendulum," they said.
Apparently, it was a point raised by a safety instructor from the general contractor.
"By the way, blocks should be used directly below the target as much as possible. Even if they are angled, they should be used within a 30° angle," he said.
It seems this matter hasn't been fully codified into rules yet.
I'm looking forward to the spec changes.
Thank you as always.
That's right. People always point that out, lol.
But it seems a little hard to use... I guess it would be fine if it were a pulley.
It's not a problem as long as they're on the same straight line, but apparently, the farther apart the safety block and the rope are, the more difficult it becomes.
Since there are ways to use safety blocks, it’s a bit tricky, but once you come up with some kind of mechanism, it seems like it would be easy to solve, right?
For some reason, I'm starting to feel like making one lol
I'm looking forward to the specification changes.
Should we make something before that? lol
Something that keeps the rope and the safety block on the same line...
Enta-sama
Thank you for your hard work.
Regarding the matter mentioned above, something like this seems possible.

I haven't used it, so I don't know how it works.
Reading this article reminded me of how angry our company president was.
"Why am I getting beaten to the punch?!" (^^;)
Thank you.
It's Toko, huh? lol
Judging by the application date, it seems they started development quite a while ago.
It's important to have foresight, isn't it?
I'll give it a try next time.
I'll ask an employee to bring it over lol
I guess I'll have to try out a few different things for the future.
I'd like to make that at home, too~
Actually, about five years ago, we were working on developing a new safety harness.
I've stopped at around prototype No. 6 lol
I'd like to start doing that again sometime.
