My schedule
I usually work at the office in Hilo, but once a month I go up to the summit facility of Maunakea, where the Subaru Telescope is located, to actually check the safety of the staff with my own feet and to replenish the safety equipment. Here is a schedule of a day at the summit facility.
| 7:30 | Prepare for safety supplies to refill |
|---|---|
| 8:15 | Leave to the summit with a colleges |
| 9:15 | Arrive at Halepōhaku - Take a minimum of 30 minutes break to acclimatize to high altitude - Check safety supplies in Subaru office at Halepohaku |
| 10:30 | Arrive at the summit Join the morning meeting to find any work conflicts to avoid the accident |
| 10:45 | Start a safety walk-through in all facilities from the top floor to the basement floor |
| 12:30 | Lunch break |
| 13:30 | Check safety supplies inventory and refill if needed |
| 15:00 | Have a conversation with the summit workers |
| 16:30 | Arrive at Hilo office |
| 17:00 | Record keeping |
I always check the safety supplies including the oxygen cylinders prepared in case of mountain sickness due to lack of oxygen.
There are steep stairs and high places inside the Subaru’s dome, and I walk to check if there are any danger.
Staff is learning safety operations for an aerial lift. Safety training for staff working at Subaru is one of the important tasks given to the safety staff.
Rescue training
I participated in rescue training for staff working on top of the telescope and the roof of the dome. They work at such a dizzying height and need to even help the fallen staff from the height.
