Pointing and Calling Japanese Safety Standard at Railway Companies & Toyota (HD)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 янв 2014
- Pointing-And-Calling standard is a safety standard used in Japan by railway companies and industry as for example Toyota. For more details visit www.allaboutlean.com/pointing-.... The video includes numerous examples of different railway companies, and at Toyota headquarter. All operators observed have been asked for permission before filming. An updated version with less delays due to slides is available here / 9w6thomwylq

Danish train driver here. We are not taught this, but I have adopted this technique as an extra layer of safety. In a monotonous working environment and when you're tired your mind will start to wander - then pointing at everything you observe, makes sure that you actively take notice of it and not just see and forget. I like it very much.
German train driver here: I did the same! Works perfectly!
@@kyatisback12 Good job, both of you professionals. Well done.
Does it not lead to automatic pointing without really paying attention, though?
Hi Martin, Daniel here.
Do you have many SPADs there? (Signals passed at danger)
In Australia when we work alone we communicate with train control to verify signal is clear, caution or danger.
@@AndrooUK Even if you think this way, it is a system that clearly establishes focus on the signal and helps mind stay in the job. Like when people are distracted by their phones, it is impossible to do this. In Japan even more so as passengers can see the driver.
As a watch geek, I love how Japan still uses pocket watches for their drivers and you can see it sitting in it's little slot in the middle of the instrument panel.
I have to do that when I leave my home as I have this weird angst that I could have left on a faucet or the stove. So I walk past, point and say "Off", "off", "switched off", "closed" etc. I remember later that I did that and can sleep well when in vacation. This reassuring thing can really help you in such situations like mine as well.
Looks kinda odd but it's good they take safety and job awareness seriously.
When theres a guy filming them....
Stream Highlights how did you know that ? im pretty sure you haven't been to japan before, just stop pretend to know everything unless your name is google.
It's part of the Japanese culture. We do the same thing at Toyota plants in the US.
Japan isn’t the only country using this method. most of Indonesian trains, some Korean trains and some Indian trains use this safety standard.
Job Safety should be taken seriously at all times, every time. As a Manager at my place of employment I oversee many technicians and I always start the day off with a Safety message to them. I am responsible for their safety every day and my main goal is to ensure that they get home to their families each and every day safely! Period.
Now I understand why in animes Mecha pilots scream their actions out loud.
lawl ikr!?
So much professionalism in Japanese culture.
they have to let off steam somehow
And so much racism, too (sadly)
Nothing wrong with racism.
Every culture have professionalism
IAmUnamed wrong
Who’re from atomic habits ? 🙂
I am
Omg i cannot believe this someone also came here from atomic habits??!!! 😮😮😮😮😮Woahhh
It's a vital safety practice for some professions. Watch any video of aircraft launching off the deck of a carrier, or even just pilots running through their preflights and you will see the same system employed.
It’s essentially a way to increase situational awareness, by making sure you are explicitly aware of your surroundings and the information you need to know to perform your job at all times.
Looks funny at first, but honestly I think it’s a great way to improve safety that all railway companies around the world should adopt.
Discipline level at its best
+Herr Richtig, was/is this true? And can you provide a link?
whereas in england france etc drivers can go on strike without fearing boot camp, delays are outrageous, accidents numerous, as well as break downs and the rail lines are left rotting.
That you can end up in a bootcamp is true if you run late several times.
But the pointing and calling has absolutely nothing to do with "to let the boss know they have learned their theory"....
These train operators in Japan are professionals and are very proud of what they do,these trains are 99.99% on time,people here depend on the trains to get them wherever they need to go and the railroad have been doing this well for over 60 years or more,too bad the US couldn't learn from this,can you imagine if US passenger train crews had to do this,they'd be whining,bitching,and strike at a drop of a hat calling this unfair,or it degrades them,yeah right!
Put a space after commas.
Buy a period or two, Carl.
Yeah the self humiliating or it degrades them thing is an American standard not to do your job properly, only kMarts people is not degrading America - maga
Carl US rail service was built for freight NOT passengers
US Union Fucks
This is "Brilliant!" Every Country should adopt this program! It just makes complete sense, In my opinion!
My admiration for Japan and Japanese people!
Interesting. I can really see how this can keep you mindful and focused on your task in a job where you could easily space out.
I feel kinda happy and proud for these people. I know they are doing their job, and on the one hand I can relate having annoying bosses who make you do weird stuff, but I think that I would be happy to do these dances if I was working these jobs. It looks oddly fun, like, you're well dressed, you're doing this ceremonial stuff that is proven to help everyone.... idk, it just feels fun. I feel like I would be very proud to work as an attendant, driver, or you name it, just because I get to wear those white gloves, a hat and point at things all day.
It turns out, from scientific research, pointing and calling actually improves the driver's concentration and attention.
This is especially in stressful situations such as strictly conforming to a schedule even if there are lots of trains on the line at the same time, where delivering safety and efficiency are the most important factors on the job.
Ah. Farmiliar sounds of Japanese trains. These machines are so comforting somehow.
IKR!? It makes me sleepy
Good thing that Indonesian Railways also applied this technique,
up to where not only drivers and conductors, but even station dispatcher and crossing officers have to do this. And also it looks cool tbh
I have big respect for these guys.
It was good to understand the operation for the safety of the Shinkansen well.
An excellent informative video ( I wish I had been aware of this system when I worked on the railways - England )
every country should adopt this in their railway safety routines. ~
I helped myself learning to drive with an alteration of this behaviour: explaining to myself what I'm doing, wording all the things that I take note of and that go into a decision. One who can explain something to somebody else can also base his decisions on facts for himself. If there are uncertainties, you'll run into questions and become aware of what you don't know and how much extra time and how big of a safety margin you'll need.
Holy shit, I've been wondering for years why when the train stops in Norway, why the conducter comes out pointing in each direction then goes. Awezome
wow, that's news to me. didn't know they did it too in norway
@@youcanpunchmeintheface In New York subway conductors point at the platform to make sure the train is stopped correctly.
Wow very interresting how they 're calling and pointing the signals and speedlimits.
Thank you! That is what I do all the time to stay focused and make sure I’m not overlooking something!
I don't do it all the time, but if I find myself getting distracted or am tired, I do go through a verbal version of this as I drive. Helps me to concentrate much better. Other times, it's just distracting to do.
@@mimeteschristos2519 I so the same. I now never go through a traffic light without saying "green light" out loud.
Great safety routing. Especially for their bullet trains that go 200mph. This prevents injuries and accidents.
No wonder they are more advanced, as it may look strange but its for a good reason "safety" . Well done Japan..
they are using VR glasses..that gesture is shooting the enemies.
stop that ! i'm also driving these Commuter lines and i tell you : it's so tiring, you have to control anything, use all of your senses, you can go for about 80Km/H for just like 10 minutes before a 45Km/H speed sign came up again
It's just a joke...
Lame so so so lame
Very professional and they always aware in safety of their jobs
01:47 this man it's concentrated AF
very applicable to health care. I am sure we can use this in the operating theatre before we start a case - anaesthetic/surgery/recovery/ward
Absolutely!
Always wonderful to watch; as soon as you do things right, everything works out ! Funny, isn't it ?
1:30 Now we all have an answer to why all super robot pilots yell their actions and superweapons activation.
Who came here after reading about this system in the book 'Atomic Habits' by James Clear
So you were reading Atomic Habits!! Good Job 👍
James clear made me come here
James brought us here for a reason
This is why japanese mass transportation never gets late and no accidents... they take everything seriously
I just wish people would pay attention when driving in America instead of being on their phones lol. This pointing and checking is just awesome.
Shows they have seen and noted signals and speed etc.Like police drivers giving a commentary as they drive to show what they are seeing and if they are missing something so the instructor can fully train them.
Yep, I have seen it on some British police documantarey. Every 30 seconds: "Traffic low, suspect eastbound, road conditions: Wet".
Indonesian Railways (KAI) has adopted pointing-and-calling since 2015 during the railway reform, and the results are incredible. Trains have become more punctual than before, work safety improved, and the number of incidents has decreased dramatically.
I’ve personally started to implement this technique in my daily life. For example, when I’m about to leave my house, I will call “Lamps off OK, stove off OK, doors locked OK,” etc.
I love japan, that’s why iam pointing on this video 🙋🏼♂️
0:54 tokyu meguro line is one-man operation, he is responsible for controlling the doors... thats why he has camera tv inside the cab
also the meguro line is ATC in-cab signalling, thats why he is pointing on the speedos
also, this is toei 6300 series from toei mita line
Class act. They should be proud.
I wonder what life is like at home. 'Now I married you because I loved you but for God's sake please stop pointing at me - I was only 10 seconds late getting home'
I've seen it in Japan with my own eyes & I'd say we should definitely introduce this to Australia. So many weird incidents in the mining industry because operator are somewhere else mentality
Now if you don't know some JR metro trains was given to Indonesia then it became EX-JR Train later than become Indonesian Commuter line.
And Indonesain Train Drivers (Machinist) Also did this "Pointing and Calling" too. Glad to see
Wow, pretty impressive.
I can see how this would help to keep drivers alertvand focussed. Should be international standard practice!
Because they announce and gesture while performing their operational and safety checklists - they themselves, coworkers, passengers and bystanders have evident clues indicating if they are having difficulties (tired/sick/disorientated/intoxicated) - the security cameras can also document this.
its strange to people outside japan but when you have a train company sending out news reports apoligizing for being 5 seconds late means they care about being on time for everyone.
but 5 seconds late they also give customers refunds for this ..... in the uk if a train if 10 minutes late we get nothing.
in the uk scotland has the highest rate of on time trains (( 97% )) and gets shit on by the uk news media and yet compaired to england (( 87% of trains running late )) nothing is said about that.
This is cool :)
1:30 Like he's about to launch a spaceship XD
Gonso96 *GO!!!*
Gonso96 LMFAO!
It reminds me of the Chemical Brothers video "Go!" with the 7 girls in the silver outfits holding handrails.
He said "Shin-Maruko shuppatsu!"
@@user-zf8mb5we1v I hear just GOO!!
JR Good job
I like it
Mama mówiła, żeby nie pokazywać palcem.
Next time I'm driving at night I'm going to try this. If it helps me stay more alert, I'm doing it.
This video has a point.
great.....I am going to implement it in my life.....
Same thing for landing an airplane GUMPS Gas Undercarriage (wheels down) Mixture, Prop, seat belt switches. Saved my butt more than once.
Agape Nutrition Mine is BUMPFICH - Brakes off, undercarriage fixed, mixture rich, prop, fuel sufficient, instruments aligned, carb heat, hatches/harnesses
I liked that last one, crossing the street.
Interesting. What jumped out to me tho was how spotless all the stations are.
I've always wondered why they do that when I used to ride their trains. Not those outside the trains in the station, but the engineers.
Bus drivers do the same too. It proves to their cabcam that they are looking where they are supposed to. Helpful information should there be an accident.
Just out of curiosity: Bus drivers where? I have seen it sometimes in Japan. Is this also used outside of Japan?
Only seen it in Japan
It's pretty funny at first, but the attention to detail is amazing.
Didn't knew about it, it should be adopted for commercial pilots
No, it's probably not the same, and I don't think it would work.
If only if only the MBTA used it here in Boston. The other day I was riding the Red Line and the train overshot the North Quincy platform and had to back up to get the train lined up. There is no other way to assign blame other than to driver error.
As a fellow T rider, I really believe it would help.
The MBTA _might_ want to consider ATC (Automatic Train Control) for the next generation of trains, and upgrade the system accordingly.
I like how they piont for osaka metro system
I try writing that what conductor is saying.
0:27 中継進行、北野桝塚停車、上り本線、2両。(Repeating signals proceed, stop at Kitanomasuzuka station,inbound main line, two cars.)
0:42 転動防止。(wheel rolling revention.)
0:45 滅、35秒延、出発進行。(The light go out, late 35 minutes, departure signals proceed.)
1:27 側面よし、新丸子、出発。(Side all right, Shin-Maruko station, departure.)
2:48 乗降終了、安全よし。(Getting on and off end, safety all right.)
That's the way to do it
The book Atomic Habits brought me here :)
the simplest ideas are the best ones
It looks stupid... but if it works it is not stupid :)
+Jacek1991 It looks silly but it does increase awareness. It helps to decrease occupational mistakes. It's sort of like when you talk out your thoughts to get your mind focused on your tasks. Well at least for me.
Ye it is true
May look like a dimwit in my perspective but sure It's an effective tatic
Yes, it looks funny stupid when people went to robots. and if it works, its not good for human race
Que bien! Gracias
In DC our train operators just have fun in between stops :D
If I read a book, I always do that and that makes me more focus and concentrate.
Each of the items pointed to is an item that *must* be checked, 100%, for safe operation.
Including the physical act of pointing adds very little to the effort required, and provides a very visual verification that nothing was skipped. (When reviewed either by the driver himself, mentally, or by a third party observing him.)
and also calling out loud what you're looking at denies the effect of doing the gesture without thinking on what you're doing
@@iaial0 No wonder I tried this pointing method but still made mistakes. Because I did not yell the action.
Awesome
Imagine they get "+5 points: pointing at the signal"
Kinda like working on the deck of an aircraft carrier. The shooter points at crews for a thumbs up before the go ahead.
Like first day in work after being unemployed for ages, but with years and years of experience.
Nichijou OVA, Mai-chan does a similar thing.
I have a similar ritual I use with my wife, unfortunately my train rarely makes the destination
I get the point that they are pointing at a set of points at every single check-point...
Do they come with their own power outlet or I need to buy it extra? :X
I predict i will have to point every time i cross a set of tracks at work. I foresee this coming.
1:28 I watched this moment multiple times. I don't really know why.
I wonder if they are pointing and calling at home...
It's like doing an inflight check in an airplane. How would you like a pilot to fall asleep or ignore instruments?
Safety saves a lot lives, money, economic opportunities, etc..
I have a question: It says accidents reduced by 30% and mistakes 85%. In other countries that "pointing and calling" thing is not being applied, are mistakes 85% more? Or the accidents? Within the last 30 yrs, I've heard only 3 or 4 big train accidents in Europe. By 30% reducing means 1 accident less in Japan?
Accidents on railroads are not limited to serious fatalities, but also include contact between a train and a passenger on a platform or a collision at a railroad crossing.
The criteria for accidents vary from country to country.
So what do they point at when reversing?
Then you will keep pointing at everything even after going home. That's my wife, that's my kid, that's my dinner, that's bed, that's...
I bet this is interesting when they drive their cars home lol
LOL! That made me laugh! Or at the grocery store :-)
this is something you do unconsciously in evereyday life, job etc..Leaving home you mumble a checklist: "phone, wallet, carkeys, umbrella" .... Or sitting in the office, focusing on some complex task and start fingercounting your todos... OK, not the same, but similar mechanism in the background: you involve more senses/body functions and be more confident/accurate in what you are doing.
japan , the germany of far east asia.
No 80% of German train always to late.
Donald J. Trump maybe japan just really pretty far from the middle east
hahaha der war gut!
Deutschland ist genau das gegenteil von Japan!
Ampelfreund / アンペルフレンド
Genau, denn Deutschland ist cooler ;)
Germany is nothing compared to that! These japanese guys are like machines! :)
This is also how Jakarta commuter train driver do. I think its bcz they're using japanese train also.
He's really working ... That's rear to see ..
This is so fuckin satisfying to watch...
Pls bring this standard to germany!!!
How can tjeu stop so quick when tjey entzr stations really fast??
