And now that all that is out of the way - let's get to the Podcast!
Yes, the holidays are almost upon us.
And yes, it's a great holiday song.
But the reason why we're saying, "It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year" - is because of the EXTRA time you have to devote to our favorite topic of all. If you guessed presents - you're wrong. It's SAFETY!
Along with Summer Shutdowns - this time of the year has a lot of people taking vacations. And that means Maintenance and Safety Teams can canvas facilities and do what we're always reminding you of - constant and never ending improvement.
It's the time to:
- Clean, repair, replace, and/or give machinery, vehicles, and tools an extra look.
- Tidy up and organize all areas.
- Install new Floor Markings and Signs.
- Assure all pedestrian and motor traffic are routed the best ways possible.
- Inspect and test all Fire Extinguishers, Showers, Eye-Wash Stations.
- Make sure all Exit Signs are in working order.
- Take down old and/or put up new Guidelines, Policies, and Emergency Info.
- Take inventory.
- Assure everyone has all the proper PPE.
- Walk the facility - and see if there's anything that needs to stop, improved, and/or added for optimum safety, organization, productivity, and efficiency.
- Assure all licenses and testing are up-to-date.
- And that's just a few of the things you can do!
The 5th S of The 5S Methodology is SUSTAIN. Sustaining means creating a culture that follows the other 4 S's - Sort, Set, Shine, and Standardize - on a daily basis.
Doing this WILL make it THE most wonderful time of year - AND deliver the gift of SAFETY!
