Keeping things tidy and predicting hazards
整理整頓と危険予知
Learn about tidying the workplace, and about finding dangers in advance and telling people.
Key points
4S means these 4 things: sorting (seiri), putting in order (seiton), cleaning (seiso), and keeping clean (seiketsu). Some workplaces add discipline (shitsuke) and call it 5S.
4Sは、整理、整頓、清掃、清潔の4つです。「しつけ」をくわえて、5Sと言う職場もあります。
Sorting (seiri) means separating the things you need from the things you do not need, and getting rid of the things you do not need. Putting in order (seiton) means putting the things you need in the places that have been decided so they can be used at once.
整理は、いる物といらない物を分けて、いらない物をなくすことです。整頓は、いる物を決められた場所に置いて、すぐに使えるようにすることです。
Do not put things in walkways. If water or oil is spilled on the floor, wipe it up at once. This prevents injuries from slipping and from tripping.
通路に物を置きません。床に水や油がこぼれたら、すぐにふきます。すべるけがや、つまずくけがを防ぎます。
Hazard prediction (kiken yochi, KY) means thinking, before work, about what dangers there are and deciding what to do. Pointing and calling (yubisashi kosho) means pointing your finger at the thing you are checking and checking it out loud.
危険予知（KY）は、作業の前に、どんな危ないことがあるかを考えて、どうするかを決めることです。指差呼称は、確かめる物を指でさして、声に出して確かめることです。
A moment when you were very nearly injured is called a near miss (hiyari-hatto). Even if there is no injury, tell your supervisor. This is to prevent the next accident.
もう少しでけがをするところだったことを、ヒヤリ・ハットと言います。けががなくても、上司に伝えます。次の事故を防ぐためです。
