Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Is today your last day of work for the year?

Today is our last day of work for the year.

We were able to complete the construction safely again this year without any injuries!

However, there was one incident classified as an accident because we had to compensate someone after cement from construction work got on their property.

Still, since no employees were injured, things turned out pretty well.

 

When you think about it this way, safety is also a form of profit.

Huh?

I'm sure some of you are thinking, “...,” but,

Let's think about what happens when you get injured in an accident at a worksite.

For example, suppose you fall while working on a job site without wearing a safety harness and break a bone in your hand.

1. Work Stopped on Site

2. Government Investigation

3. Investigation by the Labor Standards Inspection Office

4. Interview with the Site Representative

5. Measures to Prevent Recurrence

6. Thorough Safety Management

7. Confirmation by the Labor Standards Office and Government Agencies

8. Resumption of Construction

 

Just breaking a bone in your hand will set you back at least a week.

If we convert this to money, it comes to 30,000 yen per person × 5 people × 6 days = 900,000 yen.

In addition, from the general contractor’s perspective, about three people will be assigned to handle safety documentation and other related tasks.

The costs associated with rented equipment and the like are also mounting.

And above all, when you factor in compensation for the person who fell, you’ll lose roughly 3 million or more.

And in the worst-case scenario, the general contractor’s site representative will be arrested (and the case will be referred to the prosecutors).

 

Just by working safely, we're generating profits. (We're not losing money.)

And just by doing the work, your technical skills and experience will gradually improve. (It’s all upside.)

If you work thinking, “Just doing my job safely is enough to make a profit!” then,

I personally think it’s no big deal if the work on-site is delayed by a few days! (Though some people don’t see it that way, lol.)

For now, let's play it safe ^^

 

See you later.

 

P.S. We have openings on our safe slope construction team starting in the new year! Please don’t hesitate to call us!
