Safety Is ALWAYS Required

Several years ago, a friend worked as a large home improvement chain manager.  It would be great if everyone at a facility got along, but that doesn't always happen.  He and another manager had an ongoing feud until it ended one afternoon.  How?  He was let go from his position because, in a hurried moment, he forgot to put on a safety harness.  Normally - this would have been a "Don't let it happen again!" moment.  But the person that witnessed him doing it was the manager he was feuding with.

There are numerous lessons to be had in this, but the ones we want you to remember most are these.

• It's NEVER OK to not wear or remove your PPE (Personal Protection Equipment)!  Regardless of the situation - PPE and Safety Requirements are strictly enforced for a reason.
• Losing a long-time job is devastating, but he could have lost his life.

As the title of this podcast says, safety is ALWAYS required!

We are excited to see you next week for another Warehouse Safety Tips.

Until then, have a great week, and STAY SAFE!

Back Safety

I've been training for a 5K on Thanksgiving called The Turkey Trot.  Somewhere in my activities - I managed to aggravate my back to the point of experiencing very painful spasms. I just wanted to remind you that you only get one healthy back.  Once it's injured - it could affect you for the rest of your life.

If you are unfortunate enough to injure your back - you're not alone.  There are close to 10 MILLION NEW Back Injuries per year!  

Think about all the activities you perform that require your back.  These activities include - but are not limited to lifting, standing, sitting, twisting, carrying, reaching, slipping, and potentially falling.

As with most situations we discuss on this podcast - most of the activities listed above can be coupled with safety to prevent injuries from occurring.

It could take us all day to list all the things you could do - so since we try to give you high-level quick tips, here are a few steps to get started:

• Wear protective PPE when and wherever applicable.  In the case of your back - this would be items such as back braces, weight belts, and safety harnesses.  Regarding your feet - always wear the proper supportive and safe footwear.
• Make good posture a focused habit.  Standing tall with your shoulders back isn't just something your Mom tells you to do - it's something health professionals would tell you as well.
• When sitting - especially as part of your job or for long periods - be sure not to slouch.  Keep your back straight, have a chair with proper lumbar support, and ensure your work area is ergonomically friendly.  
• Lift Properly.  Know your limits, lift with your knees, and keep the weight close to your body.
• Stretch periodically.  If your facility does calisthenics before or during shifts - be sure to participate.
• Know and listen to your body.  If you're doing something that doesn't feel right, make changes before injuries occur.

You only get ONE healthy back - make you take care of yours!

We are excited to see you next week for another Warehouse Safety Tips.

Until then, have a great week, and STAY SAFE!

Safety In Three Steps - Part Three

This week, our podcast will cover part three of a three-part series.  The step we're talking about today is LISTEN (Part of Stop, Look, and Listen).

As with the other steps - this step may have many other aspects, but the following suggestions will get you off to a great start.

• When you're at work, listen and pay attention to all announcements, briefings, meetings, and any other information related to your facility.
• While operating vehicles or machinery - listen for anything out of the ordinary.  
• Be sure to listen for any alarms, weather, or interactions from fellow staff/management.
• While at your facility - listen for horns, beeps, and other sounds designed to get your attention.
• Listen to and follow directions/guidelines for your position and behavior within your facility.

This short list and our previous lists for Stop and Look will help keep you, the staff, vehicles/machinery, and the facility safe and boost awareness.

Safety In Three Steps - Part Two

This week, our podcast will cover part two of a three-part series.  The step we're talking about today is LOOK (Part of Stop, Look, and Listen).

This step can have several different aspects, but here are a few to get you started.

• Take the time to walk your facility and look for things that are being done correctly or could be improved upon, things that aren't being done correctly or could be eliminated and things you should be doing.  This is part of a 5S Methodology and will allow for constant and never-ending improvements within your facility.
• Before you walk into areas with any traffic - please take the time to look both ways.
• When working with products, look/inspect them to ensure you're delivering the best to your customers.
• When shipping, be sure to look several times to make sure your product matches your order.

All these steps - as well as ones in place within your facility - will help eliminate issues.  As with most errors within a facility, a large percentage could be avoided by just paying attention.

We'd be honored to have you back next week for another Warehouse Safety Tips.

Until then, have a great week, and STAY SAFE!

Safety In Three Steps - Part One

Our podcast today will be part one of a three-part series.

We're aware that safety has far too many steps to list - but with all topics we cover on this podcast - we've condensed the message into three easy steps.  Those steps are Stop, Look, and Listen.  It's a great thing to do at Railroad Crossings, it's lyrics from one of Elvis Presley's songs, and it's an awesome way to conduct a successful safety program.

This week we'll be covering the first step - STOP.

As it pertains to safety, it has several different applications, including but not limited to the following:

• Stopping to ask yourself, "Is this safe?"  
• Should a safety issue occur, stop to figure out what happened and how to prevent it from happening in the future.
• Stopping at all posted stop points within your facility or anywhere you know could be an issue before continuing.

As with all safety steps mentioned on this podcast, this step could prevent countless safety issues when implemented.  Doing so means better production, profits, and, most importantly - a safe facility and staff!
We look forward to seeing you next week for another Warehouse Safety Tips.

Until then, have a great week and STAY SAFE!

Reporting Accidents In The Workplace

In today's podcast, we'll talk about reporting accidents in the workplace.

So stay tuned.

And now that all that is out of the way - let's get to the Podcast!

Reporting Accidents In The Workplace

What is accident reporting - and more importantly, what's a correct incident reporting procedure?

Simply put, accident reporting is just what the name implies. Whether it affects property, persons, or both - all accidents need to be reported.

Employers must provide a detailed list of what to do when an accident occurs in the workplace. This list should include what steps to take immediately, who to notify and how to contact emergency personnel.
The correct incident reporting procedure may vary from workplace to workplace, but all staff should always follow these steps.

• Tend to the situation at hand first. If there are injuries - treat them and call for help. If damage has occurred to the property - take the steps needed to ensure it won't affect staff and make plans on how to fix the situation.
• Get the name(s) of people injured or involved.
• Get the name(s) of any witnesses to the incident(s).
• Get as many details as possible from both those involved and witnesses as soon as possible while everything is still fresh in their memory. This information should include everything from injuries or damage sustained to the events before, during, and after the incidents.
• Make sure everyone who needs to be contacted - management, family members, etc. - is immediately alerted.

It's important to report accidents in the workplace because every accident can have a lasting impact on your company and its employees. Because of this, it is crucial to identify weaknesses in practices or processes, prevent them from happening again, and educate everyone involved.

Hazardous Energy Safety

Hazardous Energy can release in several ways, including rotating parts, moving parts, pressure on equipment, and the action of electromagnetic fields. 

It's essential to know how to protect yourself from these real dangers.  The sudden release of stored energy in equipment and machinery can result in everything from injury to death.

Proper Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Procedures can prevent hazardous energy releases.  Lockout/Tagout is a program that uses mechanical means to prevent unexpected startup of machinery or equipment.  These procedures can help prevent hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries annually.

In addition to a Lockout/Tagout Program - take extra time to account for everyone in your area, look and listen for people within your work area, and never assume you're good to start a machine until you've double and triple-checked that it's safe to do so.  You might think taking the extra time to do so isn't needed - but it's much better than shutting down entirely due to an injury or death.  

Focus on the tasks that consistently improve productivity, production, and most importantly, safety - and you'll always be on the right track!

Emergency Safety

At the time of this podcast - a record-breaking hurricane is getting ready to hit Florida's West Coast.  In the case of a hurricane - you get the advanced warning that potentially hazardous weather is approaching.  But many other emergencies don't give you that option.

So how do you prepare for such an event?  By planning for it BEFORE it occurs.

Part of The 5S Methodology is the constant and never-ending improvement of all operations within your facility.  By doing a preemptive strike on potential events - you'll be as prepared as possible should emergencies occur.

Ensure your safety team walks your facility actively looking for ways to improve emergency preparedness and overall safety.

• Make sure all Exit Signs are lit and in plain view.
• Test Emergency Lighting regularly.
• Post Emergency Plans in several locations within your facility.
• Ensure all First Aid Kits, Eye Wash Stations, Chemical Showers, Fire Extinguishers, and AED (Automatic External Defibrillator) Units are in working order.
• Ensure you train and test your staff on what to do in an emergency.

There are likely many other Emergency Safety Tips to share - but the above list will get you on the road to being prepared.

PPE Safety

As we come to what appears to be the end of the Covid Pandemic - public mask requirements have all but gone away.  However - in facilities where masks are part of PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) Safety Procedures, the need to wear them is still very much needed.

And it may not be your facility making the decision.  OSHA (The Occupational Safety and Health Administration) Guidelines may require that your facility wear certain PPE.

In addition to masks and respirators you wear to protect your breathing - don't forget these other important items to complete your PPE Safety.

Safety Glasses to protect your sight.Ear Plugs and Ear Muffs to protect your hearing.

Hard Hats to protect your head.
Gloves to protect your hands.
Steel Toed Boots to protect your feet.
Braces to protect your back.
Harnesses to protect you from falls.

More PPE Safety Items may be required at your facility, but this list should get you well on your way.

We've said this before, but it bears repeating.  Remember - your health and safety are your bosses regarding PPE Safety.  You're only fooling yourself if you think you're getting away with something by not wearing it.  It only takes a moment of not wearing PPE to introduce issues, injuries, and death in the worst-case scenarios.  Don't roll the dice when it comes to your health and safety.

We look forward to seeing you next week for another Warehouse Safety Tips.

And now that all that is out of the way - let's get to the Podcast!

Safety Culture

Have you ever heard the term 'Culture'?

As it pertains to your facility - it's the behaviors and procedures observed regularly (Or the 'norm').  

The late Tony Hsieh - Founder of the shoe company Zappos - knew culture inside and out.  So much so - Zappos would publish an annual Culture Book and make it available to the public.  Tony and the Zappos Management would give a bonus to people that didn't like their job (And/or do it within their culture) to leave.  In addition - they'd help that person find a new job that did suit them.  Imagine striving for that sort of culture in your workplace!

How do you look at Safety?  Do you view it as something you must do when management is looking - or as a culture?  Hopefully, it's the latter!

When you view safety as a culture, you take pride in it, seek to improve it, and know your facility doesn't operate correctly without it.

An engaged Safety Culture will improve quality, productivity, profits, and make your staff safer.  What more can you ask for?

We look forward to seeing you next week for another Warehouse Safety Tips.

• Easy installation and removal thanks to Mighty Line's peel and stick backing.  You can apply and reapply it during installation - and it leaves no sticky residue should you need to remove it.  This allows the ability to change workflow areas quickly and easily - and not have the downtime associated with painting or using floor markings that leave behind a mess when you remove them.
• Mighty Line Tape is 7 times thicker than the average Safety Floor Tape.
• Mighty Line's Signs and Marking come in various shapes, colors, and sizes.  And if they don't have what you're looking for in stock - their Customize It Program allows you to create exactly what you're looking for. 
• Mighty Line offers a Limited 3-Year Warranty on their Floor Signs and Markings.
• And last but certainly not least - Mighty Line Products are Patented and PROUDLY Made in the USA!

We're proud to have Mighty Line as THE Official Floor
