Hello, everyone
This is Enta.
We started working on a site with a steep slope a few days ago!
It feels like I finally made it in, lol.
It took a while because our schedule and the general contractor's schedule didn't align.
It’s bound to be really crowded this time of year, but I’ll do my best to keep up!
That's what a contractor does, right? lol
In particular, since we slope engineers rarely handle the main construction work, ours is strictly ancillary work.
Well, since this project involves work to stabilize a steep slope, that’s the main focus...
Since this is often left until the very end of the entire project, things inevitably get hectic.
That's exactly when accidents happen, isn't it?
In situations like that, the most important thing is to check in with everyone as much as possible while keeping an eye on how things are going.
And at that moment, I might call out, “Watch out!” or something like that
Warning people who try to start construction even though safety measures haven't been put in place.
Once on site, there are people who try to start construction even though safety hasn't been ensured.
People like this are the biggest headache for site managers, but they usually don't follow safety rules lol
No matter what I say, he won't listen.
I guess he'll end up getting ejected, won't he?
I've actually banned just two people from the set in the past, lol.
No matter how many times you tell them, they just keep insisting they're not wrong and refuse to follow the rules.
Every workplace has its own set of rules.
These rules—including those regarding our relationship with local residents and internal company policies—are absolute.
Just because one contractor who isn't familiar with the finer details of the process says something is wrong doesn't mean the rules will change.
Rather than trying to change things that don't change,
I wanted him to reconsider his position, but he just wouldn’t understand, so I asked him to leave at the time.
When it comes to safety rules, the Japanese are especially strict!
There are even some rules that make you think, "Are they crazy?!"
Take wheel chocks, for example, right?
With an automatic transmission, the car shouldn't move at all once you put it in Park, but you still put a wheel chock on it, right? lol
I get it if it's a mission vehicle, but I just think, "Who needs that?!"
However, please keep in mind that this is intended solely to raise safety awareness.
We’re going to eliminate even the slightest possibility of an accident.
Even things that seem impossible can happen, albeit with a low probability.
With thousands or even tens of thousands of construction projects underway across the country, there’s bound to be at least one like this!
That is precisely why it is important to raise safety awareness.
Before starting work, make sure it's safe!
This is a must!!
It's totally fine to put work second!!!!
The most important priorities in life are:
1. Personal
This is super important! Please make this a higher priority than work, lol.
2. Safety
You can't work without safety. And of course, your personal life should be safe, too!
The point is that, while safety is a top priority, it’s also important to take time off.
3. Work
This is where the work finally comes in.
Sure, that’s an important part of life, but in Japan, things always work out somehow, even when things are at their worst.
It's almost as if I'm working just to make my personal life more fulfilling.
That's fine!
I think Japanese people should enjoy their private lives more.
If you follow this order, you’ll always ensure safety before starting work!
That way, you'll be able to have plenty of fun in your personal life, too, right!?
I know things get hectic at the end of the fiscal year, but let’s make sure to prioritize safety and do our work thoroughly and reliably!
If the foreman takes the stance that he won’t work unless safety is ensured, everyone around him will easily follow suit!
It's really simple.
See you later
