<\/p>\nHello, everyone.<\/p>\n
This is Enta.<\/p>\n
The other day, I received a call from a major general contractor, and,<\/p>\n
They said they wanted to have a business meeting.<\/p>\n
So, after asking around a bit, it turns out it is, in fact, a job for a slope contractor.<\/p>\n
But still, a contract worth over 100 million...<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I have absolutely no trouble handling construction management or construction work.<\/p>\n
But! That's not the problem.<\/p>\n
The issue is a matter of funding.<\/p>\n
If the project exceeds 100 million and you\u2019re a first-tier subcontractor, it\u2019s impossible unless you can secure a certain amount of funding.<\/p>\n
While we could probably handle some short-term lending based on order confirmations, it\u2019s simply too much for a company of our size to manage.<\/p>\n
Based on my experience, I think we could handle slope construction projects up to about 300 million, but we just don't have the funds to spare, lol.<\/p>\n
For a small company like ours, the limit is probably around 50 million at most, even including materials.<\/p>\n
If possible, it\u2019s actually more profitable to manage a few projects worth around 30 million each (lol).<\/p>\n
I appreciate you asking, but I ended up referring you to a general contractor that specializes in slope stabilization, lol.<\/p>\n
The steps are exactly the same, and I\u2019m confident we could see it through, but that\u2019s not really our job, is it?<\/p>\n
This is a job for a major slope construction company.<\/p>\n
To the major general contractor: If you really, really insist, I\u2019ll see what I can do!<\/p>\n
![\"Thank](\"https:\/\/norimen.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/images.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
But that's beside the point.<\/p>\n
Here's a review of the full-body harness I was one of the first to adopt and have been testing through trial and error.<\/p>\n
This is by no means meant to criticize the manufacturer; rather, it is intended as a draft proposal for improvement.<\/p>\n
I would appreciate it if you could make a safety harness specifically for slope workers, but it seems there isn't a dedicated one available at the moment, and<\/p>\n
If anything, most of them are geared toward scaffolding contractors. (Or maybe I'm just not aware of them?)<\/p>\n
Since it specializes in slopes, only slope contractors buy it, so it\u2019s truly one of a kind, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n
Just like Fujii Denko's products so far (lol)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
This time, I checked the full-body harness I'm currently using.<\/p>\n
She says the bra strap is positioned too high, which is causing discomfort and pain in her side.<\/p>\n
![\"Full-Body](\"https:\/\/norimen.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_2770-600x450.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
I've heard it's quite difficult to work there.<\/p>\n
At this position, the steeper the slope, the higher the center of gravity becomes, so the bike tends to spin out.<\/p>\n
There is a very high likelihood that you won't be able to brace your feet during construction.<\/p>\n
There is a risk of spinning around on the slope.<\/p>\n
Perhaps that means it puts less strain on the body. Is safety a priority?<\/p>\n
![\"Full-Body](\"https:\/\/norimen.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_2768-600x450.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Since the standard position for a safety harness is here \u2191, you'll need a safety harness that extends down to about this point.<\/p>\n
If you lower the hook a bit and move it forward a little, it'll be much better.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As it stands, it seems to be quite difficult to install, so it looked like they were using it with the lower back support shifted downward.<\/p>\n
They said that if we didn't do that, we wouldn't be able to sit down (such as by building a frame).<\/p>\n
But if you shift it, the strap on the leg side of the harness gets loose, and apparently that feels kind of weird too, lol.<\/p>\n
![\"Full-Body](\"https:\/\/norimen.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_2771-600x450.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
I've heard that if this hook on the leg side gets dirty with mortar, it makes installation difficult, so maybe it should be a little sturdier?<\/p>\n
Do I have to get it to a point where I can tap it a little without causing any damage, or else I won't be able to remove the mortar?<\/p>\n
I'd like it to be made of a hard material.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a shame\u2014I wonder if I could move a little more to the side or cover it up.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I've heard that the waist gear won't fit unless you attach the belt separately.<\/p>\n
So, it\u2019s like putting on a full-body harness and a tool belt.<\/p>\n
Apparently, full-body harnesses are very lightweight, so that isn't an issue.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Since full-body harnesses from all manufacturers are designed more for mountaineering, they require quite a bit of adaptation for use on slopes.<\/p>\n
It looks like I'll need to try out a full-body harness from a different manufacturer as well.<\/p>\n
So, I'll take a look around.<\/p>\n
Also, if you know of any places that make products specifically for slope maintenance workers, please let me know.<\/p>\n
I'll give it a try.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
See you later.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
