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!
And now that all that is out of the way - let's get to the Podcast!
I've said this so many times that it's becoming a broken record - but it's true nonetheless. Many of our podcasts are situations that happen directly to me. And our podcast today is one of 'em.
Yesterday, my family and I went out for coffee together. We enjoyed several cups of coffee with one another - and before leaving, I grabbed myself a To-Go Cup to enjoy while working. As I was getting ready to get in the car - I felt a searing pain in my hand. The bottom of my To-Go Cup released just enough to create a stream of scalding hot coffee to come out. Unfortunately, it was large - so the stream just kept pouring through my fingers.
My wife grabbed the cup and took it back into the coffee shop to explain what had just occurred - and the girl behind the counter said, "Oh! That's the second time that's happened!"
WHAT?!?
I'm not litigious - but that's NOT the answer you want to be on record as saying after an incident, nor is it the response you should get and/or want to hear.
So how does this ridiculous situation apply to YOUR facility?
We always say, "If you see something, say something." But what we should change it to is, "If you see something, DO something!"
Could you imagine an OSHA Representative being told, "Oh! People get hurt in that area all the time." Spoiler Alert - you're not going to like their response!
If you know something is an issue - take immediate action to fix it. Don't let another person risk getting injured. It's not worth it!
We look forward to seeing you next week for another Warehouse Safety Tips.
Until then, have a great week and STAY SAFE!
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!

- Mighty Line Tape is the strongest floor tape on the market and has a beveled edge that increases durability for industrial brush scrubbers, forklifts, and heavy industrial wheel traffic.
- Easy installation and removal thanks to Mighty Line's peel and stick backing. You can apply and reapply it during installation - and it leaves no sticky residue should you need to remove it.
