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!
The first portion of this Podcast covers something that's usually within your control - and that's hazards.
Think of these as the hazards you as a visitor, employee, and/or management can spot as a potential or current issue, can usually be identified pretty easily.
These include (But aren't in any way limited to) -
- Pallets in the way of walk/vehicle paths.
- Pallets - regardless of where they are - that are damaged and aren't fit to hold product or could injure someone.
- Staff walking in places they shouldn't be.
- Items left laying around your facility that should be picked up and/or put/thrown away.
- Staff not using proper harnesses when working in areas that require it.
Almost all of these can be remedied with two things.
- First - the proper Safety Markings. Safety Tape, Angles, and Signs indicate caution areas and at the same time make sure there's a place for everything and everything's in its place.
- Second - staff paying attention to and following those Safety Markings. As we discussed in our first Podcast - following the 5S Methodology, you can prevent a lot of potential issues by just being proactive.
Before moving on - here's a word from one of our sponsors.
