第１ 安全作 業 は何のために必要か？

The need for safe working practices
1) Being injured or physically disabled in a work-related accident would bring immense worry anddifficulties for both you and your family.
2) In the terrible event that you should die in an accident, the pain and sadness to your family andfriends would be overwhelming.
3) It is very important that you pay strict attention to the work you are doing and put safety above
all else to avoid getting injured on the job.

だいけんせつげん ば

第２ 建設現場はどのような特 徴 があるか？

The need for safety measures
Construction sites are very different from workplaces in other industries, and it is important tounderstand what makes them different before you begin working.

Special features of the construction site1) General contractors and sub-contractors (affiliated companies) work closely together on a site.
To prevent work-related injuries and accidents, each party should conduct its own specifichealth and safety activities.
2) The areas of the site that are dangerous change daily as construction work progresses.
3) Many large machines operate on construction sites, and getting caught in these machines orcolliding with them can cause major injury and even death.
4) P eople engaged in many different occupations work together on the same site, and the type ofwork being done at a given time changes frequently as construction work progresses.
5) Work is affected by weather conditions such as rain, wind, and snow.
6) Accidents involving falling objects or people and machinery such as construction equipment
and cranes occur frequently. You must also be careful to avoid traffic accidents on theconstruction site, as well as while commuting to and from work.

Need for safety measures
Just as there are traffic rules for safe driving, there are also rules for safe working practices on
a construction site. Always follow all rules on the job.

Basic safety rules
1) Follow all rules and work procedures for the construction site.
2) Follow all instructions given by the foreman, technical intern training coordinator, and others incharge.
3) Always wear the required protective headgear (helmet), safety belt (lifeline), dust mask, andother safety gear in the proper manner.
4) Do not remove railing and other safety equipment without permission.
5) Keep your own workspace sorted, organized, standardized, and cleaned so that it is spic andspan (“4S” campaign).

Need for safety measures
The basics are important in all aspects of work. This is especially true for construction work. It
is very important that you thoroughly learn the basics of safety and always stay focused on safety
at work.

Key points for safe working practices
1) Work clothes
・Wear clean clothes that fit properly.
・ Tuck the bottom of your jacket or shirt into your pants, button your cuffs, and be sure that pantlegs are not too wide.
・Do not carry anything dangerous or unnecessary in your pockets.
2) Wear protective headgear
・Adjust your headband and chinstrap to make sure that the helmet is adjusted properly to yourhead.
・Fasten your helmet in the proper manner so that it does not slip to the side or back.
・Put V-shaped parts of chinstrap into your ears for a secure fit.
・Never wear a towel, baseball cap, or anything else under your helmet.
・There are different types of helmets – helmets to protect the head in the event of fall, helmets toprotect the head from falling objects, etc.
3) Wear safety shoes
・ Safety shoes are made to protect your feet from injury in the event that a heavy object falls onthem or you step on a nail or other sharp object. Different types of safety shoes are designed for
different purposes, such as working in high places or preventing injury from stepping on sharp
objects.
・Tie shoelaces properly. Clean and repair shoes weekly and replace seriously damaged shoes.
4) Wear a safety belt
・ Use the safety belt when working in high places with no work floors or railing and any otherlocation when you are instructed to do so.
・There are two types of safety belts: waist belts and full harnesses.
・ The full harness feels less restrictive than other safety belt devices and distributes the force of
impact to reduce physical impact in the event of a fall.
・ Carefully check the points where the harness hooks attach and secure the hooks higher than
the waist.
・ When doing work that requires movement, stretch the main rope tight before hooking thesafety belt to it.
・ If you find during daily gear inspections that the safety belt, lanyard or other equipment has
been damaged, replace with new gear.

When accidents or injuries occur in the workplace, it is important to take immediate andappropriate action to minimize damage to people and objects.

Safety measures in case of injury
1) Put the rescue and medical treatment of the victim above all else.
2) R eport all injuries, no matter how minor, to the foreman and/or technical intern training
coordinator3) If you discover anything out of the ordinary, point this out in a loud voice to those around you andimmediately notify the foreman and/or technical intern training coordinator. To call an ambulance,
dial 119. Locate in advance the automated external defibrillator (AED) devices on site.
4) In the case of electric shock or hypoxia (lack of oxygen), secondary injuries among those who try
to help the afflicted victims are possible. Follow the instructions of those in charge, and do nottake action on your own.

Disaster drills1) Disaster drills conducted by the general contractor provide training that could save your life.
Take this training seriously.

Typical Safety Activities―Safety signs and instructions
1) Kiken yochi katsudou (KYK activities)
This training helps you anticipate areas that could be dangerous and instills a healthy fear ofthese dangers on the job. KYK activities are always conducted during safety meetings.
2) Shisa koshou de anzen kakunin
