Warehouse Safety Tips | Episode 92 | Safety Outside Of The Box

Safety Outside Of The Box

On today’s podcast – we’re going to be covering getting creative with 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 is going to 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!

Recently, one of our sponsors – Mighty Line – had some art commissioned for their home office.  We were fortunate to get to interview the artist responsible.  The name of this artist is Christopher Dean.  And the reason we’re mentioning him on this podcast is his way of bringing out-of-the-box thinking to Mighty Line’s products.

You can find that interview in its entirety by going to:

So what does the artwork have to do with Safety?

As you go about your day-to-day operations at your facility – you’re met with a plethora of various safety notifications.  Or at least we HOPE you are!  It actually starts from the moment you get in your car – and your dashboard starts giving you information.  Indicators and alarms for things like gas levels, tire pressure, and seat belts may be totally ignored.  And it may even continue to the trip to work.  Stationary and Digital Signs, cones, and/or people giving instructions may only get a portion of your attention.  And then at work – the Safety Tape and Signs all over your facility may have become almost invisible to you.  We liken it to someone who works at a fertilizer plant that can’t smell how bad it is.  You just get so accustomed to your surroundings – that they become part of the landscape.

Now we’re not suggesting an art installation that jumps out at your staff – but instead, thinking outside of the box to make safety more noticeable.

Maybe it’s putting signs in different areas each week to keep them noticed.

It could be adding colorful warning safety tape to poles instead of paint.

Or simply just having regular pre-shift updates on where different safety precautions are located and the reason why they’re there.  And changing what locations you cover each time.

This thinking outside of the box will hopefully keep your staff from becoming blind to the items put in place to keep them safe.

Before moving on – here’s a word from one of our sponsors.
