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!
Ladder Safety
If you've spent any time at all online or have ever watched a Blooper Show - you've seen people falling off of ladders. When you add funny music or a laugh track to the videos they can seem pretty funny - but, it's no laughing matter.
Of the falls that occur every year - a large percentage of them include a ladder.
As with all tips we provide on this podcast - this is a high-level look at things you can do to increase Ladder Safety. Always check with your facility to ensure you're following all the required Safety Rules.
But for now - here are a few good tips to get you started.
- Make sure you're using the correct ladder for what it is you're doing.
- Make sure the ladder is in good working shape. If it's not - don't use it.
- Assure the ladder is on level ground, anchored or being held, and is at the safest angle for climbing.
- If you're in an area with activity - be sure to mark off the area to ensure nobody hits or walks under the ladder.
- Climb up and down the ladder in a safe manner.
This information is absolutely vital for the safety of staff and keeping your "Days Since An Accident" Board in the high digits - but, it's also great advice outside of the workplace.
We look forward to seeing you next week for another Warehouse Safety Tips.
Until then, have a great week and STAY SAFE!
