And now that all that is out of the way - let's get to the Podcast!
The 5S Methodology - Safety
We're FINALLY here - the last portion of our coverage on The 5S Methodology! Some people even refer to what we're covering today as The 6S Methodology. But in speaking with Blaine J. Hoffman of The Safety Pro Podcast - we agree that our topic today is part of all the Ss of The 5S Methodology - as opposed to being its own individual S. The S we're speaking of is safety.
Here's a quick wrap-up of what we've covered so far.

Hoffman of The Safety Pro Podcast - we agree that our topic today is part of all the Ss of The 5S Methodology - as opposed to being its own individual S. The S we're speaking of is safety.
Here's a quick wrap-up of what we've covered so far.
- In Episode 159, we touched on the origins of 5S.
- In Episode 160, we covered Sort. As it applies to 5S, sorting involves going through your work areas and facility and determining what's essential and non-essential.
- In Episode 161, we covered Straighten (AKA - Set In Order). As it applies to 5S, straightening involves making everything essential quickly and efficiently accessible. It also entails making sure items are organized by priority of use.
- In Episode 162, we covered Shine. As it applies to 5S, shining involves cleaning at regular and efficient intervals. It also allows you to ensure everything in your workplace is operating correctly and efficiently.
- In Episode 163, we covered Standardize. As it applies to 5s, standardization is the organization of the first 3 Ss. It takes sorting, setting in order, and shining - and puts systematic routines into place, ensuring all three are implemented most safely and efficiently.
- In Episode 164, we covered Sustain. When we spoke with Blaine J. Hoffman of The Safety Pro Podcast - this was his take on sustaining. As it pertains to 5S, sustaining involves maintaining the improvements made in the previous four steps. We have an upcoming podcast with Blaine where he'll provide several examples of how "Sustain" can be implemented in a warehouse setting. So stay tuned for that inaugural episode of Partners In Safety.
Separately and combined - each one of these Ss has safety as its foundation. Why? Because you start practicing safety from the moment you wake up to the moment you lay your head back on your pillow at the end of the day. Safety has to be a constant!
After each episode of this revisiting of The 5S Methodology - we've done a recap of each S previously covered. Whether it's covering a topic already mentioned or recapping as previously mentioned - we do it to drive home the mindsets that safety ALWAYS has to be top of mind. The moment it's not is when accidents generally occur - and we don't want that to happen with you or within your facility.
When safety is combined with the constant and never-ending improvement of an ongoing 5S Methodology Program - morale, organization, productivity, and customer confidence generally go hand-in-hand!
Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips.
Until we meet next week - 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 management and staff. It's almost impossible to go 10 step
