Start the New Year at a Slow and Steady Pace, Prioritizing Safety | Don't Switch Off

2018/01/04

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Today is the first day back at work.

Basically, I never turn myself off.

I'm always in work mode lol

The reason is... I'm just lazy!

Once I switch off, it takes me a while to get back into the mood to work.

Just like boiling water from cold water, lol

And it takes a tremendous amount of energy to turn water into hot water.

In my case, I probably spend about two weeks just lazing around before I finally switch into work mode, don't I!? lol

In situations like that, if I head straight to the site and get to work, it really cuts down on the time it takes, lol.

If you're completely out of work mode, please be very careful!

According to statistics from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the number of accidents increases during the peak season from January through February.

Please be very careful!

To everyone starting work today: Don't push yourself too hard—take it easy.

Let's work safely this year to ensure we have an accident-free year!

 

See you later.

Hello, this is Director Jou. I provide on-site support for civil engineering projects in Hyogo while sharing content on YouTube about the use of ICT at construction sites.

The Correct Way to Install Formwork Is Level (Horizontal) | Why Aligning It with the Road Grade Will Make Reinforcement Installation a Nightmare

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When I’m driving on the highway, I can’t help but keep looking at the road embankments—it’s an occupational hazard, isn’t it? lol The other day, while I was on the road, I saw a retaining wall that sloped diagonally to match the road’s gradient. Just as I thought, “Oh, that’s to match the gradient,” I also wondered, “What if there were rebar installers working on this…”

What Is Set Loss? | How Tension Stabilization of Ground Anchors Reduces Load and On-Site Countermeasures

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Young engineers often ask me, “Is set loss really necessary?” Come to think of it, even though the term “set loss” is thrown around all the time on job sites, there are actually a lot of people who’ve never had it properly explained to them. Back in the day, when I was installing ground anchors…

What Is the Moldam Method? An Explanation for the General Public, from a Field Perspective, of a Stone Masonry Adhesive Reinforcement Method That Reinforces Masonry “From the Inside”

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When I’m driving down country roads, I often see old retaining walls made of cobblestones, don’t I? Some of them are even arched outwards, and I find myself staring at them every time, wondering, “Is this really going to hold up?” lol. Those stone walls that our ancestors built one stone at a time really do make for a nice view…

Enta Goes to Mongolia! Part 4 | Traffic Jams in Ulaanbaatar, a Thermal Power Plant, and a City Full of Priuses

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Day 3 in Mongolia flew by, and now it’s Day 4. Today, we’ll leave the ger where we stayed around 9:00 a.m. and head back to Ulaanbaatar. My trip to Mongolia is nearing its end. I’ve seen the grasslands, gers, camels, horses, and giant boulders, but what awaited me at the very end was…
