In our last episode, we spoke about 3 Point Safety.

What are the 3 points of “3 Point Safety”?

  1. You have tools, equipment, products, and/or services you use.

  2. You’re provided training on how to properly use them.

  3. You follow the training.

Safety is really as easy as 1,2,3. On a daily basis, this cycle repeats itself over and over again.

Point 1: Tools, Equipment, Products, and Service

Today we’re going to take a look at the first point of 3 Point Safety. More specifically, safety floor markings and signs. Imagine if the area you live in all of a sudden had all the lines taken off the roads, all the traffic signs removed, all the traffic and light poles taken down, and maps and GPS were non-existent. The utter confusion, chaos, and accidents that would occur, would be overwhelming! Now, apply the same thing to your workplace. The lack of safety floor markings and signs would bring the same amount of confusion, chaos, and accidents.

Applying This Logic to Your Workplace

Now, take a moment and do a mental walk around your facility. Think about where the tape, footprints, angles, and/or other safety floor markings are. While you’re imagining them, think about what color they are. Just like the lines, signs, and lights of your neighborhood, unless you’re part of a special area, they’re probably green, yellow, and red. And just like your neighborhood, those colors mean the exact same thing. Green means an area is safe, yellow indicates caution and attention needs to be applied, and red means you need to stop. In addition to what’s currently in your facility, do you ever see an area where something is potentially marked incorrectly, or is in need of marking? As part of 5S, which we covered in a previous episode, you should always be in the mindset of constant and never-ending improvement. If you see something that’s in need of attention, be sure to bring it up to your supervisor. Not only that, but also be sure to always know why safety markings and signs are in place. Most importantly, implement that knowledge to keep you, the staff, and your facility safe, organized, and productive.
