Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

It's kind of muggy, isn't it?

Once this season is over, it's going to be scorching hot!!!

Hell awaits!

Let's get used to the heat ^^

But that's beside the point.

 

Do you know how long a slope safety rope lasts?

It’s common sense, I suppose, but I doubt the craftsmen who actually use it are aware of it, and,

You're not using it on purpose, are you?

The replacement interval (service life) for the main rope depends on its visual condition, but is up to 3 years (according to the manufacturer).

However, since this is in very good condition, the rope I use on a regular basis isTwo years at mostThat's it.

However, the current trend is toward placing greater emphasis on safety.

So,Each company's view is that the maximum period is one year.That's right.

Ropes that are one year old must be discarded.

 

Actually, I'm in favor of this.

If there were a practice of discarding ropes—even those that are still safe—and replacing them with new ones,

The idea is that it helps prevent accidents before they happen and raises awareness.

Well, there are some major companies where the probationary period can be as long as six months. (If you just smirked, that’s the company you’re thinking of, lol.)

Also, major companies are adding various explicit tags.

You'd be surprised how often you see that stuff for sale, lol.

If I remember correctly, isn't that the one from Fujiwara Sangyo in Osaka where you write the date on it and put it in heat-shrink tubing?

Please give it a listen.

 

In cases where accidents have been occurring more frequently than with main ropes, nylon slings are often involved.

It's hard to tell, isn't it? Things like how long it'll last and which parts are defective.

If it's starting to tear a little, you can throw it away, but...

The manufacturer's specified disposal criteria are 3 years for outdoor use.That's it.

By the way,Obayashi Corporation, a major general contractor, will be dissolved within a yearThat's it.

 

To put it another way,Use on NEXCO is prohibited lol

 

There are disposal guidelines for all sorts of items.

Sometimes you come across something so unexpected that you just go, “What?! This?!”

It is extremely important to know the facts accurately.

There's so much I don't know—I'm really learning a lot lol

 

See you later.
