Communication

On today's Podcast,  we'll be covering "Communication" - so stay tuned. 

Welcome to Warehouse Safety Tips!

You can find the show notes to each episode, links to the information mentioned on the podcast, the social media platforms we're on, and anything else related to the podcast at WarehouseSafetyTips.com.

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!

There are so many physical tools available to assist with safety. 

Floor Markings, signs, lights, lasers, guards, clothing, gear - and the list goes on and on.

But there's a non-physical low tech and high-quality tool that is just as important - if not more so - than all of the before mentioned items.

That tool is communication.

Communication comes in many forms.

Because communication can be given in the form of a printed notice, a text, email - and other non voice variations, we'll stick to verbal communication.

Think of all the verbal communications you're part of at your facility (Including, but not limited to):

  • Info from fellow staff and/or management about the shift(s) prior to you coming in.
  • Everything that goes on during your shift - such as:
    • Training
    • Speaking with maintenance 
    • Alerting staff and/or management to things such as issues and/or ideas for improvement.
    • General meetings.
  • Giving info to your fellow staff and/or management before ending your shift.

Just imagine all the things that could happen at a facility without proper communication.

So even though you may be wearing hearing protection and/or masks - it's still extremely important to use your ears and mouth as Safety Tools.

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!
