On today’s episode, we’re going to be covering taking advantage of holidays and shutdowns.
What do Summer, Holidays, and end-of-year Vacation Days all have in common? Shutdowns and much less staff and production. Now, what does that have to do with safety? The less staff and overall production, the more attention that can be given to inspection and walk-throughs. Not only that, but it can be done without rushing or getting in the way.
Think of the difference between putting down new safety tape and signs during production or doing it with everything partially or completely shut down. The second option is much easier to deal with! But it’s not just the physical tasks, such as testing safety equipment, taking inventory of PPE (Personal Protection Equipment), assuring safety lights and signs are working, and making sure all fire extinguishers, first aid kits, chemical showers, defibrillators, and eyewash stations are up to date and in working order. Using the absence of staff and production can help you think about ways to make your facility safer and more organized. You can walk your facility and implement the 5S Methodology at several stopping points to assure there’s a place for everything and everything is in its place.
Taking the time to work on the physical and mental aspects of safety during slow and stopped production will help you make your facility safer, more organized, and productive than ever.
