On today’s episode, we’re going to be covering examining safety at your facility.
When it comes to examining safety at your facility, there are probably several items that get immediate attention, such as (including, but not limited to):
Fire extinguishers are present and within inspection guidelines.
Exit signs are all properly lit.
Safety tape and signs are all in good shape and visible.
Important items and locations, such as eye wash stations, chemical showers, fire extinguishers, first aid kits, and defibrillators are all clearly marked and visible.
The above-mentioned items are things that you know to check. When we say “examining safety”, what we’re looking for are the things that aren’t on the checklist. You can find things like this by:
Standing in an area for 10-15 minutes and paying close attention to everything that occurs. What are things that happened or didn’t happen during the time that could impact safety?
Observe how the staff operates for an hour. What things did they do that contributed to or took away from safety?
Walking the facility to look for any potential safety hazards.
We listed 3 ways you can examine safety, but the list could contain dozens (if not hundreds) of ways. But you don’t have to do them all at once. Break them up into daily or weekly tasks, and just watch the improvements come in time. Part of our 5S Methodology is “Sustain”. It’s the “S” that encourages us to maintain and improve every day. Examining safety on a regular basis and constantly improving upon it will make the implementation of “Sustaining” much easier.
