People die relatively easily, you know…
Robots are taller than humans, so for probably the next hundred years, humans will have to work hard.

Large cranes can be used in the construction industry as well.

If there’s no need to hang it high, then bring it down low, that’s true…
To reduce the probability of other people sneaking in below, there’s no other choice but to do it that way.

On the contrary, I wonder why it’s said in textbooks to hang it high even though we know it’s dangerous.

One meter takes a life.

What a good boss!

I thought products weren’t coming in on the assembly line, so I peeked at the conveyor.
I heard there was a fatal accident involving a sandwich between something that was flowing strongly and something that was flowing against it!

It seems like it’s to avoid colliding since it’s taller than the height of a person.
Well, if it falls, the damage will be greater than if it hits.

I’m told endlessly to set up the sections, but those who don’t want to see them just won’t see them.
If it’s not the type that can be lifted strongly from above, it’s safer to make it so that people cannot enter from below.

If you’re not going to drop it, it makes sense to do it at a height where it won’t hit obstacles or people.

I think it’s safer to hang things high if both people and machines can operate in the workplace as ideally as possible.
In reality, things rarely go exactly as ideal.

The textbook teaches it this way, but can you really do that in the field? There are quite a few situations like that, right?

Well, if it’s low, then the fools will just randomly enter the range and bump into the suspended load.

The prongs of a fork are always taught to be at least at a minimum height in white, especially when there is no particular occasion.
At worst, it’ll just be the ankle.

From the manufacturer’s perspective, it’s better to have them set high so that the possibility of collision accidents can be reduced…
It was originally not made to fall.

I don’t think there is anyone who hasn’t heard about fatalities in accidents.
There are quite a few manufacturing industries.

A person can die from a height of 1 meter.

Any wire that is kinked even slightly or ropes that cause pain should be discarded immediately! If that’s possible, falling accidents might not occur.

I want to teach you to properly cut the ground before moving.
There is no completely flat ground, and it’s not guaranteed that the operator or supervisor is aware of all the bumps and irregularities.
There may be a reason for being hung high.

Inertia is something that’s obvious, but it becomes stronger the heavier it is.

Falling damage is the most dangerous.

When stopping, be sure to tilt the mast forward, place the claws on the ground, always pull the parking brake, turn off the engine, and remove the key!!

If it’s kept low, some brat might jump in from somewhere and start playing, which could lead to an accident…

Major disasters mostly involve objects falling from above or people falling.

“It’s about 2 meters.”
If you shift it a little, it will perfectly meet the position of your head.

Fall
Suffocation
Crushed to death
Electrocution.
I’ve heard up to that point.

Amazing, isn’t it, potential energy?

Is this guy actually listening?

It’s plain, but reaching out is extremely important.
The factory is noisy, you know.

If anything, I’m more tired from fear and tension than from work.

Isn’t the reason textbooks say to fish at a higher level because the ones that shake hit the head cleanly?
It feels like it’s just like the teacher’s experience on site.

If it hits your head, you’ll die.

You should not work in a place that is not visible to others.
You must not be in a situation where your voice cannot be heard.
I think the worst thing when something serious happens is that it goes unnoticed.

I was made to do it without having a rigging certificate, and I was also instructed to stand on top of the person being suspended.
I was called in for a holiday work shift to clean up at the end of the year, and I was also instructed to come in the next day, but I skipped it and got really scolded.
I don’t care anymore because I’ve already quit.

Since Toro Tetsu is drawn by a former factory worker, it has many harsh stories.

Many people are too lazy to say a word, even though it would prevent an accident.

If it’s something that requires a crane to lift, it would easily crush a human…

In the crane training, the teacher repeatedly emphasizes that it is a tool that can easily kill people and easily disrupt balance.

Although endurance is high, it is fragile against excessively strong impacts.

An accident occurred where a person who was unknowingly operating a crane while rigging passed away.
When I found it, it was still alive, but it died after being transported, so I couldn’t ask about the cause, but I thought it was probably a handling mistake.

It’s better to hit low even if you do.

The person in charge of safety education seemed to have a very strict appearance and tone, similar to what I’ve seen in many places.

Is it not allowed to put it on the ground?

When using the crane, there are always obstacles around, so I tend to lift things higher without thinking.

Even if it’s a hassle, wait until no one is within the crane’s swing range.
Breaking things and hurting people are completely different levels of issues.

If it’s 10cm, even if it gets flattened, it would only affect my toes.
The higher it is, the more places it gets stuck in…
If it were to fall over… you know.

Weight is power.

Recently, there was a person who got crushed by a control panel.
I don’t know if they used a crane or not.

At the end of the rigging course, there was a practical exam where we had to memorize the flow, but an old man participating couldn’t remember it at all, and people around him were helping.
Don’t let them pass with that.

It becomes extremely troublesome because there are people who hang things higher than a person’s back, as there is a possibility of colliding when moving.

Hanging low means that the wire will be longer.
If the wire is long, the amplitude of the swing will increase when it becomes a pendulum.
A larger range of motion means an increased risk of colliding with people or objects.
Well, still, the instructor’s principle is to prioritize the risk of falling.

It can be said for traffic accidents, but with things, it can become a funny story in the future.
You carry it with you for a lifetime, just like a person.

I always respect mobile operators.

It’s simply understandable to prioritize the risk of death over the risk of injury.

Lowering the load reduces the danger when it drops, but the longer wire makes it more susceptible to inertia.
Increasing the load reduces the influence of inertia, but increases the danger when it falls.
Which one is better?

In our company, we average one person passing away each year.
The site is scary.

The place I was sent to on assignment was arranged in such a way that if I didn’t stop right at the edge, the scale would crush things, and it seriously ruined the cleaning box, which was really frustrating.

Humans are too fragile.
Let’s quickly become a body of steel.

It’s dangerous to ask someone to do something that is better done by multiple people alone.

Inertia first involves moving slightly and then pursuing the resulting sway.
Don’t move it even if it comes back by mistake.

The correct answer is to effectively eliminate inertia.

Got it! Turning with one wire!

Inertia shouldn’t be underestimated, but the instructor’s experience is undeniable, so it’s hard to say.

After almost dying once, I’ve become afraid of bench pressing, and the bones in my lower back have become deformed and will never heal.
If you lift a heavy weight that’s heavier than your body above your head and get tired, it won’t go up anymore and will come crashing down.

Since I transferred, there have been three major disasters in a month and a half, one of which resulted in fatalities.
I don’t know when I’m going to die either.

The possibility of hitting someone due to the range of movement might increase, but if there are people close enough to be hit by the range, wouldn’t it be better not to operate?

Instead of lowering the death rate, it raises the injury rate!

I heard that in the rigging test, if you swing it 2 meters, you immediately fail the test.

If there are people at a distance where they could be hit just from shaking, you would either stop the work or call out to them to move away.

Given the overall length of the crane, there’s not much difference in the amount it can swing between 2 meters above ground and 10 centimeters above ground.

People whose arms come off appear regularly.
Such a workplace.

It means that it’s better for potential energy to be low.

When a metal object fell from the fourth floor right next to me and I heard a voice saying, “Oh, I’m sorry.”
I vowed never to stand directly beneath the work.

No matter what you do, there will always be idiots who mess things up.
And most people become foolish when they get tired.

Last year, I got a crane operator license for maintenance work at my workplace, but while taking the skills training, I thought, “I really don’t want to do this job!”

It’s obvious, but even if you are careful, if those around you mess up, you will get involved, so the only way to deal with it is not to become like the workers.

In the first place, don’t come close or pass overhead…

The machine can only do what it’s commanded to do, but humans are different.

Our company’s recent workplace accident was caused by a bee that got in and stung someone.
It’s peaceful.

Believe that things that are hanging will fall.
Actually, it’s quite a drop.

A long item hangs down and one side comes off, getting swept away.

If you think about it normally, it’s understandable, but if a heavy object falls from 2 meters above and hits a person, they will die. It’s frustrating, but there’s nothing that can be done about it.

Factory accident death videos all feel fleeting when you watch them.

Hanging it higher reduces the chance of injury and there are no obstacles, enabling smooth progress.
But I will die.

I realized for the first time after entering this industry that manuals are made with blood.

The safety of the manufacturing industry and the hygiene of food and drink are often the first aspects to be overlooked.

Humans are fundamentally quite fragile beings…

Don’t ever touch the swaying loads in case something happens.
It’s not something that can be changed just by putting up with the weight of a person!

Things like rigging are one thing, but the most anticlimactic is electrical work.

Even when hung low, it swings like a pendulum and hits you in the head…

The falling load accident was probably because the person who did the rigging was an idiot.

Safety takes precedence over everything.
When you’re busy, the first thing that becomes invisible is…

Gentle old man common traits
A colleague has died in the past.

When you’re wearing a helmet, you become surprisingly careless above.

I really had someone use a fork to lift me up and change the light bulb on the ceiling even now.
I quickly ran away.

Recently, a worker from Kansai Electric Power Company died.
That was caused by a crane that was吊っていた breaking down.
Lowering about 2 meters using the principle of the pendulum.
A worker on the side of the truck was hit and fell, and it was a bad place to land.
They were making rounds to each site as a patrol from Kansai Electric Power Company, basically to raise awareness.

Don’t ever go underneath or get close to something that’s hanging or being lifted! Even if I say that, there are still some people who do it.
It’s fine if you die, but please spare me from it being said that I killed you!

I asked someone who could operate the forklift to help with moving the machine, and it was chaotic with securing, guiding, and clearing the path, but afterward my boss bragged that he used to handle this kind of thing all by himself.
Isn’t it simply dangerous?

I work in a food factory, but actually, I only wash my hands when entering the factory and not much otherwise.
I keep using disposable gloves and throwing them away.

Disregarding safety is foolish and shows a desire to make money thoughtlessly.

Heavy machinery necklace gas electricity entangled fall
As expected, this area has a high frequency of occurrences and the severity of injuries tends to be worse.

Even with slinging, fingers can normally fly off.
I only ended up with a broken nail.

I guess factories that handle hazardous materials might be more strict about safety.

Safety requires money and effort in measures.
Well, I guess it won’t be prioritized at the field level…

It’s important that the management properly communicated safety reminders when something happened.

Even if they haven’t mentioned death, it’s quite common to see people without fingers.

Please prepare enough personnel to ensure safety.

If the relationship is too casual, it can make reaching out seem neglectful, which gives off a dangerous impression instead.

Managers may be strict about safety, but the older guys on the ground are often teaching the younger ones “more efficient ways to do things”…

Surprising thing.

They say safety comes first on-site.

When I see managers doing the point-and-check while crossing the pedestrian crossing so casually, it somehow makes me feel embarrassed to do it myself.

I used to work in a factory, but when I saw a colleague’s zip file come out of the machine that crushes and compresses into cubes, I quit.

I know about the person who died when a metal fragment hit them because the lashing belt that was securing the cargo broke during transport.
It was an accident, but since the load was secured with only one lashing strap and was quite heavy, well…

When a disaster occurs, construction stops due to on-site inspections and measures to prevent recurrence, so it’s better to proceed safely even if we want to move quickly.

After being repeatedly told by the higher-ups during the morning meeting to never do such things and to follow the rules.
It’s nice when your boss says, “I know they say that, but if you follow it, you won’t be able to do your job, so don’t listen to them.”

During training a few months after joining the company, I was shown a room with photos of this person who died being caught like this, alongside a life-sized replica of the machine involved, and it made my heart sink.

(A colleague collapsed in the past, huh…)

There are a lot of people laughing at threads about “on-site cats” that occasionally pop up on the bulletin board.
People who have experience working in the field have actually seen several cases, so it’s not really something to laugh about.

I’ve had a compressor pressed against my butt before.
He meant it as a joke.

Our company has been in operation for quite a while, but fortunately, we haven’t had any work-related accidents at a level that would cause significant losses.
It’s not like you can just jump to a conclusion that quickly! There are some odd examples that come up occasionally.

It seems that the young new graduate is quite laid-back and careless, and every time I hear a report, I’m losing a finger.

I remember a story about a nameless colleague who became a cow at an ice cream factory.

I remember getting really angry at a guy who was trying to force a wrench onto a machine that was in operation.
Since you’re an adult, please be a little more careful.

There were so many accident cases, but it was scary to see various workplaces when I was doing fluorescent light replacement dispatch with pallets and forklifts.

I thought work-related injuries had nothing to do with me at first, but every time I hear stories about colleagues getting electrocuted or being involved in accidents, I realize that I could be next…

Now it has become strict for safety reasons.
But not all factories across the country adhere to this, and some old local factories still have long-standing local rules that are still influential…

Sometimes, I see anonymous users on message boards discussing labor accident videos, saying that such things could never happen in Japan.
No… that’s not it.

Gravity is strong…

There was a time when the site had a mistake in managing the ethanol inventory, and although we hadn’t exceeded the dangerous threshold, it was close to doing so, and I got extremely scolded for it.
Since I’m in charge of equipment, it’s my job to apply for it even if it’s from another department when asked! I don’t know anything about hazardous material management! I haven’t been taught anything about it!

The higher you go, the lower the injury rate, so the textbook says to hang it high.
The mortality rate increases.

What is the atmosphere like on-site when someone dies in this kind of manufacturing industry…?

Pointing and calling is actually really useful… It might look uncool, but I do it regularly.

There were even idiots who, as a prank, knocked into the neighboring ceiling crane hanging stuff.
