Japan Points the Way to Better Safety

  • Railways in Japan use a safety system called “pointing and calling.” This method of physically pointing toward an item to be checked while vocalizing its name was invented in Japan about 100 years ago. The combination of looking, acting, speaking and hearing reduces errors by as much as about 85%. After recent scientific testing proved the efficacy of the technique, its use spread to fields other than the railways. It’s used to increase safety in areas as diverse such as hospitals and construction sites. And now, following its successful adoption by the New York subway system, this unique Japanese safety method is starting to spread around the world.

    As a Japanese,
    I had thought “pointing and calling” is a manner for those who mainly work in the railway company.
    However, it also works in everyday life, especially in the busy morning.
    I point and call, “ Smartphone YOSHI 👉 Wallet YOSHI 👉 Nothing left YOSHI 👉!!”.
    If you tend to forget something, you may try it.😅

      I conduct shisa kanko on my belongings including pockets and bags before leaving my house, and almost all areas that I possibly make mistakes. Found out that I never left my belonging after practicing this as a habit.

      I think it is fascinating to see and it works! I always thougt the people pointing and calling were saying¨yes¨it kinda sounds the same as YOSHI(i think). I followed a training in how to switch high tension switches and during the training you also say what you see and sometimes point it out,it makes you aware of possible dangers.

      its only weird because its not standard, similar to how shaking a hand is only normal because everyone does it. if no one did it it would be very strange to just grab someones hand to say hello/goodbye.

    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.

    Umm, strange. This is the method I have developed to use with strange dogs and driving situations. I know that the other driver probably does not see me and for sure does not hear me, but it seems to work anyway. And, of course with dogs, well, I just do not get how it works, all I know is when I point at a misbehaving strange dog and call out it reacts as I have ordered.

    Completely nonsense and idiotic.
    You can do anything to improve your focus and believe it does and have the science to back you up, because you believe in your results.
    Also, not doing this fingering thing and claiming that you will retain the same focus level is also wrong. It's all about concentration, and your body must be in sync with your actions, this is the basis of this fingering practice.
    So if you want to keep your focus high up, you can do anything you may find convenient to keep your body and mind in sync.
    You don't necessarily need to do the fingering practice and assume it's the thing.
    But your efforts towards your goal are.
