Today here on Warehouse and Operations as a Career we visit with Joe, our go to Safety man and discuss our thoughts and opinions on a few Safety Topics and Tools. We\u2019ll talk in general about PPE and their importance. We\u2019ll share a few questions that\u2019s came up or been presented & share our experiences on a few of them. I looked at a few statistics from www.bls.gov, a great and informational website, one of my favorites for researching, check it out when you have time.
\nI enjoyed our talk about:
\n \u201cWhy PPE\u2019s are Important\u201d
\n Steeltoe Boots, Shoes \u2013 Composite caps
\n Safety Glasses
\n Safety Vests
\n Respirators
\nAnd we\u2019ll review a few stats I found at https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cfoi.nr0.htm
\nI really enjoyed reviewing a few of the questions/comments regarding Safety as they relate to GMP\u2019s and general topics such as:
\nSDS Stations - know where they are located!
\nEye wash & Shower Stations
\nEquipment batteries
\nPallets \u2013 don\u2019t stack them too high!
\nWet Floor signs \u2013 one of our main safety tools
\nDock Plates \u2013 use caution when working with equipment on them
\nTrailer Docks \u2013 NEVER jump out of a dock door!
\nSafety Meetings\u2026\u2026. It\u2019s so important to utilize our safety meetings, everyone\u2019s gathered together, it\u2019s a great time to get noticed, use some keywords, share some knowledge you\u2019ve picked up or ask some questions to learn more.
\n
\nPPE\u2019s are important - Get them, Wear them, it only makes sense, there\u2019s not an excuse not to use them.
\n
\nAs we\u2019re learning, it\u2019s so important we continue to grow, continue to educate ourselves, use key words to get our Bosses attention, share what we\u2019ve read or learned, GET NOTICED, GET ON HIS OR HER RADAR, we want that next promotion or next opportunity & Safety Knowledge is one of the most notable concerns to our managers. If we\u2019re good at our job, being productive AND displaying a Strong Safety Culture, instilling a safety culture in others, that next job is going to be ours, right?
\nJoe we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us here at WAOC, your coming back again now right Sir?
