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 now that all that is out of the way - let's get to the Podcast!
On many of our podcasts - we talk about the importance of paying attention to Safety Floor Signs and Tape. But, something that's just as important is listening.
This could include - but isn't limited to:
- Alarms or Buzzers indicating the start, errors, and/or completions of machinery.
- Horns from vehicles and/or lift trucks.
- Speakers with updates, announcements, and/or warnings.
- Visitors, staff, and/or management speaking to you and/or trying to get your attention.
- Vehicles and/or lift trucks backing up.
You need to listen for all of the above sounds that are applicable to your facilities (As well as ones not listed above).
And in order to keep your listening skills as sharp as possible - be sure to keep your hearing protected by wearing protection everywhere it's suggested and at all times while in those areas.
Although damage can occur in an instant - it's usually the continued exposure to sound without protection that damages hearing.
So make sure your Hearing PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) such as earplugs and/or earmuffs are part of your overall protection checklist whenever and wherever applicable.
Not only will Hearing PPE protect your ears - it'll assure you're able to keep listening to this podcast. And we REALLY like that sort of safety!
