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!

When Safety Fails

As mentioned on previous podcasts, and on future ones as well - we try to draw our content from real life.  Today is no exception.  As a matter of fact - it's going to launch a multiple-part series.
Our village is having Fiber Optic Cable buried.  The village has marked properties with where they "think" cable is - but even fancy tools can miss a wire or two.  I work at home and Wednesdays are usually one of my busiest days.  Well, today is Wednesday - and today the guys burying Fiber Optic Cable hit our Internet Cable.  That made today start off a little frustrating.  But instead of getting mad, I contacted my clients to let them know of the issue and started thinking of ways to apply this to safety.
Apply the above situation to your facility.  After assuring nobody has been injured and everything is under control - what can you do to best avoid a similar situation happening again?  While it's fresh in your mind - get your maintenance, safety team, staff that's been affected, and management together and discuss steps for the future.  Mistakes aren't fun to deal with - but they are the best teachers!
Next week on Warehouse Safety Tips we'll talk about one of the next steps in the process - double and triple-checking safety.
Until then, have a great week and STAY SAFE!
Before moving on - here's a word from one of our sponsors.
If you've ever been to or worked in a warehouse - you know just how important safety is to both management and staff.  It's almost impossible to go 10 steps without seeing Safety Tape, Angles, Signs, and/or products. 
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!

Milestones
On today's podcast - we're going to discuss announcing information in advance at your facility.

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

Milestones
A couple of the things we celebrate here on our podcast are consistency and milestones.   
Last week we were able to celebrate BOTH and didn't even realize it.  The podcast "Coming Soon..." was our 130th episode.  That marked the 2.5-year point of doing our podcast.  But even better, it marked the 130th week in a row that we've done this podcast.
We always try to draw similarities with non-work life to safety - and the above-mentioned consistency and milestone should provide it.
If you have a "Days Since An Accident" sign at your facility with a high number - celebrate it!  It means you've been consistent in your safety efforts.  If you don't have one of the signs or one where the number on it isn't high - it gives you the opportunity to work on improving your safety and hitting milestones.
Take a hard look at how you implement The 5S Methodology at your facility.  If you follow each "S" with the intention of getting better each time you cycle through it - the numbers on your Safety Board will keep climbing.
We look forward to seeing you next week for another Warehouse Safety Tips.

Until then, have a great week and STAY SAFE!

Coming Soon
I was driving home yesterday and noticed a sign on one of the busiest streets in our village.  The sign said, "This Road Will Be Closed 6/27 For 60 Days".
This is big news!  One - because it will be closed for two months or more.  And, two - because this is such a small village, it's one of two of the most trafficked roads.  
I always attempt to find real-world examples to draw from for this podcast - and that sign prompted our message for today.
Can you imagine turning the corner and seeing the road you expected to be in use torn apart?  I'm sure it's happened to you in the past.  I know it has for me.  And it never happens when I'm on time.  It's usually when I'm trying to get somewhere and suddenly, I'm blindsided by a Detour Sign.
Don't blindside your staff!
Whether it's updates, changes, or events - are you doing everything you can at your facility to prepare your staff in advance?  Doing so will allow staff to get the message, ask questions, have discussions, and be prepared for what's ahead BEFORE it happens.
We look forward to seeing you next week for another Warehouse Safety Tips.
Until then, have a great week and STAY SAFE!

What Does OSHA Do?

So stay tuned.

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

What Does OSHA Do?
On a previous podcast - we answered the question, "What do the letters "OSHA" stand for?"

To provide a refresher - OSHA is an acronym, and it represents the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Today we're going to answer the question "What Does OSHA Do?"

Taken directly from the official website - https://www.osha.gov/ - here's the answer.  With the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, Congress created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to ensure safe and healthful working conditions for workers by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training, outreach, education, and assistance.

Employers are required to adhere to the standards provided by OSHA and, in turn, provide a safe workplace free from serious hazards. Employers are responsible for training employees and performing tests, providing PPE, and medical tests as mandated by means, posting OSHA citations annually, and not retaliating or discriminating against an employee.

Not adhering to OSHA Standards and Requirements can result in injuries, fines, and even death. Make sure your facilities are operating within and above the OSHA Standards and Requirements at all times.

To take a much deeper dive into OSHA - visit OSHA.gov.

Everything In Its Place
On today's podcast - we're going to talk about keeping everything in its place.
So stay tuned.

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

Everything In Its Place
I've always been envious of garages and workshops with outlines or labels on the wall for every tool or piece of equipment.  This process allows you to save time looking for items - because they're always in the same place.  And you can immediately tell when something is missing.  This makes day-to-day operations easier - and will help with overall inventory.
In a garage or workshop, you know if something is missing, if it wasn't you that was using it, then it had to be someone in your immediate circle.  At a facility - that circle is probably much larger.  So to streamline the process - you should either put one person in charge of checking items out or have some sort of camera monitoring.
This process is the second step of The 5S Methodology - Straighten or Set In Order (Japanese Version - Seiton).  It's sometimes simplified as, "A place for everything and everything in its place."
And it doesn't have to be limited to tools and equipment.  You can print identifying labels for everything at your facility - and cover them with Clear Heavy-Duty Label Protectors.  These labels can be on the floor, walls, and actual items.  And since they're heavy-duty - they're durable, adaptable, convenient, and efficient for warehouses, factories, and most facilities.
Anything you can do to streamline production is a win - and this process does that.
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!

Spill Safety And Procedures
If you work at a facility long enough - you're going to encounter one or several of the following situations.

• Leaks from ceilings 
• Machinery creating condensation or leaking fluids.
• Cleaning that needs to be contained.
• Staff accidents - such as backing into and knocking over a barrel of oil.

And those are just a few of many scenarios you might experience.
What do they all have in common?  They're all spill-related.
So how do you respond to situations like this?
First and foremost - make sure staff, maintenance, and management are all notified of the spill.  If the elements related to the spill are hazardous or present any sort of danger - clear or evacuate the area.
Find where the spill is coming from and if possible, stop it and clean it up with the proper Spill Kit Products.
If it can't be stopped - control it with the proper Spill Kit Products.
Procedures may vary by location - but the above-mentioned steps will be a great start.
We look forward to seeing you next week for another Warehouse Safety Tips.

Looking For Trouble

On our podcast today - we're going to go against everything you were told growing up.  
All your life - parents, teachers, and friends have been telling you, "Don't go looking for trouble!"  Sometimes they'd end it with, "If you do - you just might find it!"  Of course, they were referencing getting into trouble - such as fighting, drinking or doing drugs, or anything that might be illegal or dangerous.
To stay ahead of issues in factories, warehouses, and anywhere safety practices are put into action - sometimes you NEED to go looking for trouble.  You WANT to find situations where something could potentially happen before it does.
Whether you're following ISO, The 5S Methodology, Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or a combination of them all - eliminating waste, extra movements, and potential issues is paramount.
We look forward to seeing you next week for another Warehouse Safety Tips.

What are the OSHA Color Codes - Part 3?
On today's podcast - once again, we're going to be answering the question, "What are the OSHA Color Codes?". 
So stay tuned.

What are the OSHA Color Codes?
A few episodes ago, we discussed "What are the OSHA Color Codes?"  Once again, if you're not aware of what OSHA is - we covered this a few weeks ago in Episode 115 - " What Does OSHA Stand For?".  It's an acronym that represents the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
As a refresher - the colors we previously covered were yellow for caution, red for danger, blue for specific items, and orange for paying attention.
Today we're going to cover two more of the OSHA Color Codes - green and purple.
If you're a viewer of this podcast, you'll already know this - but we always like to remind you.  We keep things very short and to the point for time purposes.  We provide a general and high-level look at the topics at hand - but almost all of our topics can and should be looked into much deeper.  With that said, here are our next two OSHA Color Codes.
Green is generally reserved for first aid and for items related to safety.
Purple is one that you'll probably see the least.  It indicates the presence of radiation.
For more information on all of OSHA's Color Codes - visit OSHA.gov and search "Color Codes."

Do You Reward Safety?
On today's podcast - we're going to be answering the question "Do you reward 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!
Have you ever read a book or watched a movie where a bunch of puzzle pieces come together and provide a big reveal?  Chances are you have.  Although I've spent a great deal of time in the tech world - in my younger days, I spent a lot of time in factories and warehouses.  Safety and the implementation of it were a huge part of my job.  In addition to safety - I learned about ISO, OSHA, Six Sigma, 5S Methodology, and Lean Manufacturing.  Then today - I found several pictures of my Mom holding money bouquets as prizes for winning Safety Slogan Contests.  In doing so I released I've been around safety a lot longer than I'd thought.  I remember sitting around the kitchen table as a kid and helping her create and pick what we thought would be good submissions.  
This brought me to the question of this podcast, "Do you reward safety?"
Most employees don't want to take their jobs home with them.  But, when there's an incentive - things change.  
Are you doing things at your facility that make your staff feel involved with your safety program?  If so - great!  If not - why?
One of my Mom's winning Safety Messages was, "Where Safety Reigns, There Will Be Gains".  That would be printed on huge banners and hung throughout the facility until it was replaced by the next year's winner.  But can you imagine the pride my Mom must have felt looking up and seeing her winning submission each day?
And how true was that message?  "Where Safety Reigns, There Will Be Gains".  It's a mindset we as safety-minded professionals individuals should embrace!
It doesn't have to be a contest, but find a way to involve and reward your staff for improved safety - and you're going to find there WILL be gains!
We look forward to seeing you next week for another Warehouse Safety Tips.
