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 on 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!

Make Safety A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)

Have you ever heard the initials SOP?  It stands for Standard Operating Procedure.  An SOP is a physical and/or digital document that outlines every step that needs to be taken to perform a specific task.  If written correctly - someone that has never done the task should be able to follow the steps to complete it properly.  Implementing such procedures allows for tasks to be completed within quality standards.  In a perfect world - these should be living documents that are constantly updated and improved upon within 5S Methodology standards.

So how does safety integrate into this?  If the facility you're working in is safety-minded and utilizing SOPs, safety procedures are probably already written into your tasks.  If your facility isn't doing this - it needs to start!  In addition to training individuals how to do particular tasks - SOPs significantly increase quality control, efficiency, and profitability.  Things all facilities should be striving for!

We hope you join us next week for another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips.

Until then, have a great week, and STAY SAFE!
