Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

What do you think of this tire and socket?

 

1. Should I wrap some tape around it?

2. Let's take it apart and start over!

3. Well, it works for now, so I guess I'll just keep using it as is!

 

If you don't have the tools or parts on hand,1That's what I think.

However, in reality, absolutely not2That's it.

 

Even if it means halting work on-siteThat's it.

The reason for this is that,

There is a very real possibility that an accident could happen at any moment.That's why.

 

Do not use it in this condition.

I want you to understand that.

This incident involving the tire and socket happened at our worksite.

If we don't have the equipment, let's head back down the mountain and buy some.

The risk of an accident versus the risk of shutting down operations.

Which one is bigger?

 

There's no need to worry so much about things that aren't happening right now!

I think some people might be thinking that.

However, accidents are the one thing that happen suddenly.

The more you overlook these kinds of small risks, the worse it gets.

You've heard of Heinrich's Law, right?

I think this is something that comes up at safety meetings and safety committees, but,

It’s the accumulation of small risks that eventually leads to a major accident.

Companies that employ technical interns, in particular, should be careful.

To be honest, in the trainees' home countries, basic safety rules aren't clearly defined, and working in dangerous conditions is a daily reality.

Their safety awareness is extremely low!

That is exactly why we Japanese need to make sure to teach them properly.

That's for their sake, too.

So you don't lose your life at work or anything.

 

And please be more mindful of your own safety.

Be mindful of that.

What will happen if things continue this way?

It’s about imagining that and taking a bird’s-eye view of the situation!

 

See you later.
