Emergency Preparedness
On today's podcast, we'll be talking about emergency preparedness.
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 will be different from most you listen to. It's based on 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!
Emergency Preparedness
Being woke up from a dead sleep to be told your basement is flooding, will wake you up faster than a cup of java. I know this because it happened to yours truly this morning. Bad storms were passing through - and I'd JUST gone downstairs to check the sump pump to make sure everything was OK. IT was. The pipes connected to it WERE NOT!
Now, what's usually a quiet place to film, record audio, and do other marketing activities have been taken over by fans, carpet shampoo machines, and chaos.
But within that chaos - the trains are still running. Why? That's what businesses and facilities have to do!
And what's the best way to do that? Try to expect the unexpected via emergency preparedness.
Whether it's where to go in case of a tornado, what to do should someone get injured, or utilizing an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) for someone experiencing cardiac arrest - you need plans in place for how to handle unexpected situations. Emergency preparedness does just that.
For the last several weeks - we've been covering 5S. A major part of The 5S Methodology is a constant and never-ending improvement. It's important to do walk-throughs to make sure everything in your facility is running correctly. But it's equally important to imagine potential issues before they happen, and create emergency preparedness plans for those situations. You can't be prepared for every situation that occurs - but for every pre-emptive plan you successfully put in place, that's just one less thing you have to worry about later.
Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips.
Until we meet next week - have a great week, and STAY SAFE!
