And now that all that is out of the way - let's get to the Podcast!
Let me ask you a couple of questions.
Have you - or have you seen someone else:
- Walk right in front of a Lift Truck and/or take a short-cut through a restricted area?
- Ignore and/or talk over a message being delivered via Walkie Talkie / Intercom?
- Have a close call with an item of clothes and/or lack of Safety Equipment?
- Let a Lift Truck pull or carry you and/or have taken a ride on a Pallet Jack like a scooter?
All of these have one thing in common.
Sometimes the most simple rules being ignored are what lead to some of the most avoidable situations.
Here are 5 Basic Safety Tips that'll increase your chances of staying safe exponentially.
- Know the rules and regulations of your facility. You can't follow what you're not aware of.
- When you're at work - you're there to WORK, not have fun. Smile, be kind, be courteous, and take enjoyment and pride in what you're doing. But remember, when you step foot on company property - it's time to be safe and professional. Save the horseplay for home.
- Wear your uniform and Safety Equipment exactly as requested. Even if it's uncomfortable, in your way, and/or some other reason - don't vary.
- Use the right tools and procedures in all aspects of your life - but especially at work. This includes everything from simple Hand Tools, Heavy Duty Equipment, and YOUR body (With examples such as proper Lifting and Ergonomic Techniques).
- Pay attention! And if you see something - say something. In following these 5 Basic Safety Tips - you'll be amazed at how much more safe, productive, and organized you are.
Before moving on - here's a word from one of our sponsors.
