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!
It's funny how one small article or incident can make you think of a topic to speak about.
I was going through a document we send to customers we call an SAQ. You're probably aware of an FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions). An SAQ is similar - but instead of frequent, it's for SHOULD ask questions. A better way of thinking about it might be - the questions you wish customers would ask, but don't.
In that SAQ - I saw the question, "What is one of the main benefits of 5S Methodology?" And although there's many answers as to why the 5S Methodology is so important - the number one reason is SAFETY!
Since the name of this Podcast is "Warehouse Safety Tips" - singling out SAFETY as a topic probably doesn't come as a surprise. It was the second part of the answer that caught my eye, and why you'll find it fitting as well.
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!

Now back to the Podcast...
In the first part of this Podcast - we answered the SAQ (SHOULD ask questions), "What is one of the main benefits of 5S Methodology?" Again, the number one reason is SAFETY.
Safety is most important because your workers are your most valuable asset!
In a previous Podcast - we spoke about how people can become oblivious to the Safety Markings around them.
The second part of the SAQ made reference to people saying, "I've done it that way a million times before - but THIS time..." The portion that follows THIS TIME in stories like that, range from scares to fatalities - and everything in-between. But most importantly - they point out that the one time you take your head and focus off a swivel, disaster can strike.
Safety isn't something you can employ part-time. It's gotta be something you make part of your full-time mindset.
And in doing so - everyone gets to go home in one piece, and you have “peace of mind”
