The summer heat has begun! Be careful over the next few weeks.

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Stress Engineer

I've been trying to manage my nerves for the past few days lol

 

I started cooking teppanyaki on the griddle.

Man, this is hell.

Today is hell again.

So, let's get ready for summer!!

 

I've already set up my air conditioning and heating system.

I want to wear my jacket, so I cut a hole in the back lol (I don't really want to wear it, but I hate it when grease gets on it!)

Why aren't there any vests designed for air-conditioned clothing??

 

Why don't manufacturers make them?

That's what I'm thinking, but is it already out?? lol

Well, it's just a matter of cutting the back with a utility knife, right?

Heatstroke Season

We’ve now entered the season when heatstroke cases are on the rise over the next few weeks.

It's even more so because my body isn't used to the heat.

Let's make sure to take good care of our health—including staying well-hydrated, getting plenty of rest, and getting a good night's sleep the night before!

Shade

We also made the Hikage (modular type) that we developed last year for on-site use, as well as the version for slopes.

Looks like I'll be able to grow Hikage on the slope this year, lol.

 

Please also make sure to spread the word about measures to take for people suffering from heatstroke.

Simply setting up a cold water bath at the site may help reduce the severity of heatstroke

Is that clear?

Apply ice to the artery...

Since that doesn't make any sense,

At the very least, pour water over your entire body and cool yourself down with ice!

This is the bare minimum!

If possible, please set up a water bath—even a drum will do!

This will save quite a few lives.

 

Not just us slope workers, but anyone in the construction industry or other industries who suffers from heatstroke should be submerged in water!

I'd like you to use this as a guideline.

If you lose consciousness while soaking in water, you’ll need someone to slap or tap you to wake you up, so please make sure someone stays with you at all times.

Always keep a close eye on it once you put it in water!

 

Just this alone makes a truly dramatic difference.

If you set up a water tub at the job site, fill it up, let a trickle of water run while you're working, and turn it off before you leave, the cost wouldn't be that high, right?

That's all the more true if you can pump up groundwater.

It’s a small thing, but I think it’s important at this time of year, so why not try setting up a cold-water bath at your worksite?

 

See you later.

Isn't it important to take measures to protect people who suffer from heatstroke on the job site?
