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!
Hazardous Energy Safety
Hazardous Energy can release in several ways, including rotating parts, moving parts, pressure on equipment, and the action of electromagnetic fields.
It's essential to know how to protect yourself from these real dangers. The sudden release of stored energy in equipment and machinery can result in everything from injury to death.
Proper Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Procedures can prevent hazardous energy releases. Lockout/Tagout is a program that uses mechanical means to prevent unexpected startup of machinery or equipment. These procedures can help prevent hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries annually.
In addition to a Lockout/Tagout Program - take extra time to account for everyone in your area, look and listen for people within your work area, and never assume you're good to start a machine until you've double and triple-checked that it's safe to do so. You might think taking the extra time to do so isn't needed - but it's much better than shutting down entirely due to an injury or death.
Focus on the tasks that consistently improve productivity, production, and most importantly, safety - and you'll always be on the right track!
We look forward to seeing you next week for another Warehouse Safety Tips.
Until then, have a great week and STAY SAFE!
