If you're a seasoned Podcast Listener - this podcast is going to be different from most you listen to. It's based around exactly what the name implies - Warehouse Safety Tips. And since the people in that industry are busy - we know time is money, so each episode will be as short and to the point as possible.
And now that all that is out of the way - let's get to the Podcast!
If you've ever worked in a factory - you've probably experienced a Summer and/or Holiday (Usually Thanksgiving or Christmas) Shutdown.
These shutdowns usually occur during slower times of the year - and are usually only staffed by maintenance and volunteers. The overall idea is to tackle maintenance, cleaning, and/or changeovers without the entire staff and operation being present.
However - working in a warehouse, you know shutdowns aren't always an option. Especially if you work in a distribution setting where there's a hive-like hustle and bustle 24/7/365.
But that doesn't mean you can't adopt a Shutdown Mentality.
If you follow a 5S/6S (With Safety Included) Methodology at your location - you're pretty much already doing it.
In the simplest of terms - it's the organization, cleanliness, and a continued quest of making things better.
Some tasks - such as putting down new tape and/or the above-mentioned changeover or maintenance of equipment, still might require temporarily limiting access to a certain area.
But if you keep a Shutdown Mentality - it's likely you'll create a workplace that's always top-notch.
Before moving on - here's a word from one of our sponsors.
If you've ever been to or worked in a warehouse - you know just how important safety is to both management and staff. It's almost impossible to go 10 steps without seeing Safety Tape, Angles, Signs, and/or products.
It's these items that show us how to be safe and avoid danger in the workplace. And if you're looking for the best products to make this happen - look no further than Mighty Line!
