    In today's podcast, we'll talk about making safety a full-time job.

    So stay tuned.

    If you're a seasoned Podcast Listener, this podcast will be different from most you listen to.  It's based around exactly what the name implies - Warehouse Safety Tips.  And since the people in that industry are busy - we know time is money, so each episode will be as short and to the point as possible.

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

    Full-Time Safety

    How safe and pleasing is it to have a full tank of gas?  You KNOW there's no way you will run out anytime soon.

    Same thing with a full-time job.  It gives you comfort in knowing you're earning at full capacity.

    Most things are just better when done at one hundred percent.

    And when it comes to safety - this couldn't be more true.  Regardless of why you'd do it - it's never OK to operate at anything less than one hundred percent.  Those moments when you remove your safety glasses because they're foggy, take off your hard hat because it's hot, or remove your harness because it's uncomfortable - is when disaster has the potential to strike.  And if you listen to people that have been lucky enough to recall an accident - they almost always have the same story.  "I've done that (whatever it was that assisted the accident) a hundred times before - and nothing happened."  

    Attribute safety to that of a relationship you have.  If you don't think there's a correlation - tell your significant other that you're ninety-nine percent faithful to them, and you'll see just how important one percent can be! 

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

    Until then, have a great week and STAY SAFE!

    So stay tuned.

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

    Avoiding Slips And Falls

    Have you ever heard the Chinese Proverb, “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”? It means that if you want success and growth in the future, the best time to act is now.

    So how does it apply to safety and our message for today?

    Although we're not even done with Summer yet (In the United States), Fall and Winter are right around the corner.  And with those seasons come wet leaves, ice, snow, and all sorts of slick elements not usually present.

    Add the usual spills and leaks from machines/vehicles in the workplace to the mix - and you have all sorts of potentially hazardous conditions.

    Slips and falls account for hundreds of fatalities, THOUSANDS of missed days, and OSHA Violations.

    As with most unsafe situations in the workplace – most of these situations could have been avoided.

    Here are just a few ways you can help prevent slips from happening - and get ahead of potential situations.

    - Encourage staff to wipe off and stamp their feet before entering your facility during rainy or snowy days.
    - Make sure you have anti-slip tape, gritty surfaces, and mats in problem areas.
    - Repair machines/vehicles that leak.  And if you can't stop leaks - contain them with proper spill containment products.
    - Encourage staff to alert maintenance as soon as a wet area is discovered.
    - Regularly mop wet areas and put out signs/cones indicating the situation.
    - Make sure staff wears slip-resistant footwear wherever applicable.

    These are just a few tips to make you aware - but if followed, should be a great start toward avoiding slips and falls at your facility.

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

    Until then, have a great week and STAY SAFE!

    Safety Walkthrough

    The Cambridge Dictionary defines a 'walkthrough' as "the act of doing something or checking something in order to find possible problems."

    Is there someone or a team at your facility that does Safety Walkthroughs?

    The definition above covers "possible problems," but a Safety Walkthrough should also look for things that are being done right and ways to improve things.  

    If you've implemented and are engaged in a 5S Methodology at your facility, you're already doing this.  If you aren't - then start A.S.A.P.!

    Improved efficiency, productivity, and safety increase profits and the chances of your employees working effectively and going home safe at the end of the day.  And that's precisely what we're here to help happen!

    Forklift Training

    Have you ever been to a facility where there are permanent marks in the concrete, paint has been scraped away, or tape has been ripped up due to improper forklift traffic?  This situation comes from dragging or having forks in the wrong position - and it's completely avoidable.  

    How?  Training!

    But it's not just about the proper use of the forks.  It goes much deeper than that.  But since we always try to keep things short and high-level - here are a few things to consider when it comes to Forklift Training and Safety.

    • Before even getting on a forklift - be sure you've been trained, or OSHA Certified to do so.
    • Perform a check at the beginning of each shift to assure the forklifts you're operating are in good working order with an inspection and general maintenance check.
    • Know ALL the rules and regulations of your facility.
    • Be aware of the load carrying, lifting, and storage rules.
    • Wear and utilize all the safety equipment determined by your facility.
    • Know your surroundings at all times - such as walls, poles, doorways, pipes, racks, other forklifts, and people.
    • Obey Speed Limits.
    • Watch for changing floor conditions due to spills or weather.
    • Keep travel areas clear of all debris.

    Pay attention and keep safety top of mind; these tips will be a great start towards staying safe while operating a forklift.

    Make Way For Safety

    Inspiration for our podcast today comes from outside of work.  We needed to have some rugs cleaned - and decided to move everything out of the rooms being steamed (As opposed to cleaning around larger items).  You don't realize how much stuff you have in a room until you see it empty.  In addition - you start to question what needs to make its way back in and how you will arrange it.   While waiting for the carpets to be done - I listened to talk radio.  They were going over what millennials are requesting as new benefits - and how things have to change to meet those requests.

    These two things made me wonder how often changes are made in your facility to ensure optimized safety, efficiency, and productivity.

    If you follow the 5S Methodology - you know that constant and never-ending improvement is a major factor in the success of a facility.  But unfortunately, "That's the way we've always done it." comes into play far too often.  

    We know you can't move most machinery and general layouts - but you CAN focus on the best situations possible in every area.

    So focus on the things you can change - and adopt moving forward into the future over remaining in the ideas of the past.

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

    Safety Announcements

    Safety at your facility is of the utmost importance!  Whether via staff, maintenance, safety coordinators, management, or a combination of them all - you strive to make safety number one.

    But there's a vital ingredient to the recipe.  You need safety announcements to make everyone at your facility aware of the safety measures that have been put in place.  Without doing so - it can be as if you've done nothing.

    So how do you accomplish this?

    This is just a sampling of things you can do - but it should be a great way to start.
    • Before each shift - make safety updates part of your briefings.  
    • Post all safety information in highly visible locations around your facility, such as breakrooms and other areas where info is displayed.
    • Have Safety Meetings regularly to discuss current safety measures and how things can be improved upon.  And make sure this information is shared outside of the meetings in the places mentioned within this list.
    • Last - but certainly not least - encourage staff to listen to, watch, or read content similar to this podcast.

    That's the reason we do this podcast.  We want to give you bite-sized high-level looks at safety - so it's always top of mind.  If we're just a percentage of why you and your staff go home safe at the end of your work day - then we've done our job!

    Customized Safety
    Part of an ongoing and successful 5S Methodology is always being on the lookout for ways to improve safety.
    One of the ways we do this is by ensuring paths and procedures are properly marked.  And even though you can usually find most safety signs and floor tape with the required message, sometimes it just doesn't meet your needs.  That's where custom safety signs and floor and tape come in.  Your text. Your logo. Your design!
    So there's no reason for not having everything in your facility properly marked for maximum safety.  
    Doing so keeps your "Days Since An Accident" Sign numbers going higher and higher.

    Safety Has No Boundaries
    I was recently a guest on The Safety Pro Podcast with Blaine J. Hoffmann.  One of the many things we discussed was how safety applies to your ENTIRE facility.  Blaine and I would tell you that you need to be aware of safety in ALL aspects of your life - at home and work.  But in what we were discussing, it had to do with marking and identifying pipes and wires outside facilities.  
    In a nutshell - we were talking about how important it is to know everything about your facility to remain safe.  And how important it is to relay that information to staff and non-staff working inside and outside of your location.
    We live and work in very busy times - so it's of the utmost importance that we always keep our heads on a swivel and constantly look for ways to stay safe.  Doing this and sharing what we find with others will keep our surroundings as safe as possible.

    Ladder Safety
    If you've spent any time at all online or have ever watched a Blooper Show - you've seen people falling off of ladders.  When you add funny music or a laugh track to the videos they can seem pretty funny - but, it's no laughing matter.  
    Of the falls that occur every year - a large percentage of them include a ladder.
    As with all tips we provide on this podcast - this is a high-level look at things you can do to increase Ladder Safety.  Always check with your facility to ensure you're following all the required Safety Rules.
    But for now - here are a few good tips to get you started.

    • Make sure you're using the correct ladder for what it is you're doing.
    • Make sure the ladder is in good working shape.  If it's not - don't use it.
    • Assure the ladder is on level ground, anchored or being held, and is at the safest angle for climbing.
    • If you're in an area with activity - be sure to mark off the area to ensure nobody hits or walks under the ladder.
    • Climb up and down the ladder in a safe manner.

    This information is absolutely vital for the safety of staff and keeping your "Days Since An Accident" Board in the high digits - but, it's also great advice outside of the workplace.

    These items show us how to be safe and avoid danger in the workplace.  And if you're looking for the best products to make this happen - look no further than Mighty Line!

    Double And Triple-Checking Safety
    On today's podcast - we're going to discuss double and triple-checking safety.
    So stay tuned.
    You can find the show notes to each episode, links to the information mentioned on the podcast, the social media platforms we're on, and anything else related to the podcast at WarehouseSafetyTips.com.

    If you're a seasoned Podcast Listener - this podcast is going to be different from most you listen to.  It's based around exactly what the name implies - Warehouse Safety Tips.  And since the people in that industry are busy - we know time is money so each episode will be as short and to the point as possible.

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

    Double And Triple-Checking Safety

    As mentioned on last week's podcast - our village is having Fiber Optic Cable buried, and has cut wires all over the place while doing it.  I know this personally - because they cut our Internet Cable while working in our yard.
    Right after posting that podcast - I was on The Safety Pro Podcast with Blaine J. Hoffmann.  One of the things we discussed was Call811.com.  That's the "Know What's Below.  Call Before You Dig" Hotline.  That service only covers Public Utilities - NOT Private Utilities or things you've put underground such as an Electric Fence for your pets or Irrigation Pipes.  People digging are still SUPPOSED to ask you about items such as this before digging.

    In addition - what if a pipe or line was missed by those called to mark them?  A cut Internet Cable is an inconvenience.  A cut gas or electric line could result in death.

    When it comes to safety - you can't assume!  You have to double and triple-check it to assure you're keeping yourself and those around you safe.

    It might take some extra time - but doing so might mean the difference between having the time to double and triple-check or rolling the dice.  When you choose safety - the house almost always WINS!

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

    Until then, have a great week and STAY SAFE!
