Midori Ippai Project Activities LINE 187Local Contribution and Environment Conservation Activities Using Vehicle-mounted Work Platforms August 5 to 25, 2016 NTT West Nagasaki Group
Starting from the Sasebo area on August 5, NTT West Nagasaki Group engaged in the "Local Contribution and Environment Conservation Activities Using Vehicle-mounted Work Platforms" at three areas in Nagasaki Prefecture. This series of activities have been ongoing since 2007.
At 10:00 a.m. on August 5 (Friday), an opening ceremony was held at Higashi-sonogi Municipal Sonogi Junior High School, which was attended by the school officials, police stations, telecommunications construction companies, as well as all participants from the partner companies.
After the opening speeches by the principal of Sonogi Junior High School and the Manager of NTT West Nagasaki Branch, everyone recited the safety slogan in unison. The participants were then divided into groups to hold a KYT (Kiken Yochi Training or Risk Prediction Training) before starting work.
A total of five vehicle-mounted work platforms and three lightweight trucks were used for the pruning and cleaning works.
Utmost priority was given to ensuring safety such as by lowering branches and leaves that were pruned off using a rope, while careful attention was also paid to avoid heatstroke during the course of work to enhance the visibility of the school route. The activity lasted for about two hours.
At the closing ceremony after the work was completed, the principal of Sonogi Junior High School expressed his words of gratitude, saying that the students can now commute to their school safely with the brighter school route. He added that he will introduce this endeavor to the students when the new semester starts.
Besides Sonogi Junior High School, we also carried out activities at Nagasaki City Shiroyama Elementary School (August 18) and Shimabara City Daisan Junior High School (August 25).
NTT West Nagasaki Group will continue with the activity to cut away or prune unwanted trees as part of the environmental protection efforts so as to ensure the safety of the local children and students.
