On today’s episode, we’ll be covering staying where you’re supposed to be.
Has anyone ever told you to, “Stay in your own lane!”? Sometimes it’s verbal, while other times it might be acted out with sign language. In the context of warehouses and the other facilities we mention on these episodes, it’s more than likely in the form of signs, floor markings, and training. In essence, it’s staying where you’re supposed to be. This is one of the tips that could be most important to you. Being in the wrong place at the right time can cause serious injury and even death. Here are a few examples of what we’re talking about:
Make sure you’re not in the path of oncoming traffic. This is true from the moment you arrive at work in the parking lot, to the sometimes hive-like activity of your facility. And it’s not just staying out of traffic. If you’re someone that’s operating vehicles, make sure you’re not in an area you’re not supposed to be in.
As someone on foot, there are (or should be) specific markings on where to travel. Don’t become “blind” to signs and floor markings telling you where you can and can’t go.
Pay attention to where you’re allowed to have your hands/arms. Areas with pinch/crush points are (or should be) clearly marked.
When it comes to getting inside of machinery or areas where you need to stop production, make sure you implement the proper “Lock Out Tag Out” Procedures needed to alert staff not to resume production.
Make sure you’re always wearing the correct PPE for the area you’re in. Even if you’re allowed in an area, you need to be equipped properly.
Some areas, although safe, may have security restrictions. Make sure you’re cleared to be in an area before entering.
