On today’s Warehouse Safety Tips Wednesday, we’ll be covering why “It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year". Yes, the holidays are almost upon us. And yes, it’s a great holiday song. But the reason why we’re saying, “It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year”, is because of the extra time you have to devote to our favorite topic of all. If you guessed presents, you’re wrong. It’s safety!
Along with Summer Shutdowns, this time of the year has a lot of people taking vacations. That means maintenance and safety teams can canvas facilities and do what we’re always reminding you of, constant and never-ending improvement.
Maintaining the Warehouse
It’s the time to:
Clean, repair, replace, and/or give machinery, vehicles, and tools an extra look.
Tidy up and organize all areas.
Install new Floor Markings and Signs.
Assure all pedestrian and motor traffic are routed the best ways possible.
Inspect and test all Fire Extinguishers, Showers, Eye-Wash Stations.
Make sure all Exit Signs are in working order.
Take down old or put-up new Guidelines, Policies, and Emergency Info.
Take inventory.
Assure everyone has all the proper PPE.
Walk the facility and see if there’s anything that needs to stop, be improved, or added for optimal safety, organization, productivity, and efficiency.
Assure all licenses and testing are up to date.
And that’s just a few of the things you can do!
The 5th S of the 5S Methodology is sustain. Sustaining means creating a culture that follows the other 4 S’s – Sort, Set, Shine, and Standardize – on a daily basis. Doing this will make it the most wonderful time of year and deliver the gift of safety!
