Emergency Safety

In today's podcast, we'll talk about Emergency Safety.

So stay tuned.

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 will 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!

Emergency Safety

At the time of this podcast - a record-breaking hurricane is getting ready to hit Florida's West Coast.  In the case of a hurricane - you get the advanced warning that potentially hazardous weather is approaching.  But many other emergencies don't give you that option.

So how do you prepare for such an event?  By planning for it BEFORE it occurs.

Part of The 5S Methodology is the constant and never-ending improvement of all operations within your facility.  By doing a preemptive strike on potential events - you'll be as prepared as possible should emergencies occur.

Ensure your safety team walks your facility actively looking for ways to improve emergency preparedness and overall safety.

  • Make sure all Exit Signs are lit and in plain view.
  • Test Emergency Lighting regularly.
  • Post Emergency Plans in several locations within your facility.
  • Ensure all First Aid Kits, Eye Wash Stations, Chemical Showers, Fire Extinguishers, and AED (Automatic External Defibrillator) Units are in working order.
  • Ensure you train and test your staff on what to do in an emergency.
There are likely many other Emergency Safety Tips to share - but the above list will get you on the road to being prepared.

We look forward to seeing you next week for another Warehouse Safety Tips.

Until then, have a great week and STAY SAFE!
