Chapter 159 Safety First
“Every construction worker must remember, three treasures, four people and five people~Lingbian”
Under the rising sun in mid-July, three hundred construction workers wearing safety helmets They stood in line in front of the stage at the entrance of the Wesson Textile Industrial Park project construction site. Under the leadership of Frederick, they had a morning meeting. The first thing they did was to sing his newly composed "Three Treasures, Four Mouths and Five Borders".
After a month of study, the workers have learned the song and understood the three treasures of safety helmets, safety belts and safety nets. They have reserved four openings, water pipe wells, passages and stairwells. Edge, roof facing edge, balcony facing edge, unloading port facing edge, foundation pit facing edge and five facing edges.
In his previous life, Frederick saw dead people several times at the construction site, and even more injured, so he paid close attention to safety. Before that, safety issues would be discussed first in every major class.
Now in the audience, in addition to construction workers from Weisen, the Principality of Mainz, the Principality of Bain and surrounding areas, in the front row is Einhard, an architecture professor at Weisenberg University and the designer of the Carolina Canal. Professors and students of architecture, as well as the designers invited by the Church of Light and the Archduke of Mainz to design the Germaine Cathedral and the Edelweiss Library.
The fathers of Party A of the Cathedral and the Great Library were a little bit shocked when they first heard that these two projects were suspended. Then after they saw cement, they were very satisfied with this new material and agreed to use it in the project. , so designers were kicked here to learn from scratch.
This is good news for Frederick. The technicians who are still strong enough can act as construction workers, each leading a team of ten people.
Those who are not physically strong can take turns working as a safety officer, with a commission on fines, and at the same time serve as a material clerk, quality inspector and budget clerk.
As for the document clerk, I found a group of scribes who had lost their jobs due to printing to make ends meet.
After everyone finished singing, Frederick said: "Now arrange today's tasks. Yesterday, the construction workers had led each team to study the drawings. Today's work is to lay out the lines based on the drawings."
"It is very important to lay out the wires. If the wires are crooked, the whole building will be crooked, which will affect the appearance at least, and cause the house to tilt and collapse in serious cases!"
"Before starting today's work, let me reiterate, Anyone who dares to urinate in the open should put spicy oil on the crime tools!"
"Okay, let the construction workers lead the workers to work!"
After that, he waved his hand and put on the clothes. People wearing various safety helmets dispersed.
Frederick breathed a sigh of relief on the stage and then returned to his office.
He did not expect that so many people would come. Management would be a big problem. Just eating, drinking, sleeping, and sleeping would be a headache, and he had to carry out military management.
Today's laying out the wires is not a difficult task. The craftsmen are not primitives and they still understand these things, so you don't need to keep an eye on them too closely.
When he returned to the office in the wooden room, Tarot had already made a cup of tea in a thermos, placed it on the table, and sat reading a novel.
In a red file box on the desktop are some documents from Wesson State. Vanessa brought them over this morning. Frederick will deal with them first. After Vanessa brings the new documents tomorrow, Will take it away.
There is nothing important about these documents. The most serious thing is that during the summer tax collection that just ended, more than a dozen tax collectors in the new territory tried to take advantage of the change in tax policy. They first collected rent at the old tax rate and then paid it at the new tax rate. They were greedy. The difference in the middle.
For this reason, they bribed the accompanying soldiers and finally shot them all on the spot.
Frederick instructed the corpses to be hoisted to each village for display, and then began to deal with matters at the construction site.
The idea of the industrial park was put forward last year, and the design work began at that time. However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. The first phase of the industrial park was all used by textile factories.
The reason is very simple. A cotton coat in Altasha's hometown is very expensive and can be passed down for several generations. There is absolutely no problem in exchanging it for the Fire Magic Crystal.
Considering that there are many female workers in textile factories, the industrial park is located not far from the smelting plant where there are many male workers. It is mainly composed of 10 factories and 2 warehouses, all of which are reinforced concrete frame structures. The column grid size is 5 × 8 meters, and the floor height is 5 meters, 50 meters long and 16 meters wide. A three-story frame structure office building, two canteens, a 10-meter-high water tower, a parking lot and several public toilets are also built in the park.
According to the plan, after the industrial park is completed, a new workers' village will be built between the industrial park and the smelting plant, which will be dominated by tube buildings.
Frederick carefully studied the drawings of the factory building again. The design of the factory building was made by recalling the course design in the previous university, and the final evaluation was that it would not collapse.
Now considering that the snow on the roof in winter increases the safety margin, it should be no problem.
His biggest concern now is the quality of materials.
Cement is okay, mainly rebar. The quality of steel nowadays is a bit erratic due to productivity constraints. There is no alloy steel. For this reason, he spent a lot of brain cells when calculating the amount of steel bars.
If you use steel bars, you need welders. The manufacturers of steam engines are also recruiting people. The salary of 2 gold coins per month has recruited many magicians who can only use simple fire magic. They don’t have to go to the battlefield. With such a high salary, these people immediately packed their bags and rushed to Weisenberg City, where they are now learning to weld steel bars at the blacksmith shop.
The same salary also hired many earth magicians. The average ones are currently busy at the canal construction site, and the advanced ones are studying at the cement factory whether seismic magic can be directly applied to concrete instead of vibrating. Tamper.
With one hour left before lunch, Frederick put on his safety helmet and went to the construction site to inspect the morning's work as he had done in his previous life.
At this time, horse-drawn carriages were constantly coming in and out of the construction site, and shovels, barrels, hammers, nails, wooden boards, etc. were constantly being transported from all over the place.
Frederick walked to the warehouse and saw various items piled fairly neatly.
Then he got angry and angrily shouted at several movers in front of a pile of templates: "What do you [Wesson District expletive] have in your heads? I said it yesterday However, the height of everything cannot exceed two meters, which is almost three meters!”
The porters just unloaded the formwork from the carriage and half of it! The car had already reached two meters, but I was too lazy to change places and continued to pile them up.
Another construction site of Frederick's company in his previous life collapsed and killed an acquaintance because of excessive accumulation of materials. This area has a psychological shadow.
These porters were all recruited from the dock workers' guild and were also experienced. An older worker accompanied him with a smile and said: "Master, it's okay. We just have to be careful. There used to be heaps at the dock." So high."
Frederick asked the people next to him expressionlessly: "You think so too?"
Some of the people nodded, and some said yes.
Frederick ignored them and waited quietly for the guild steward who came over after hearing his curse to come to the side. Then he pointed at these people and said expressionlessly: "How many of them are there?" Let’s get out of the construction site immediately.”
With that said, he left without looking back, without giving them a chance.
In his heart, Frederick regarded the workers on the construction site as seeds, and their words and deeds would later cultivate generations of construction workers.
If there are people like this who regard safety as child's play at this time, the negative impact on the future will be immeasurable.
This incident only caused a little ripple among the workers. Everyone forgot about it when they saw that they had chicken stewed in butter for lunch.
