Why Your Business Can Benefit From Safety Training
Videos
Safety is an issue that affects all kinds ofbusinesses, no matter the industry. Of course,
some industries will be more susceptible to risky
situations such as companies that deal with
construction, manufacturing, or oil and gas.
However, corporate environments can still be
vulnerable to certain hazards. In order to ensure
that all employees and surrounding communities
are protected, and the business operates withoutinterruption, companies need to come up with
their own safety training programs.
Beyond the Safety Signs
Safety training programs will vary with the unique operational requirements of
every business. This means that emergency procedures, precautionary measures,
and protocols for working around certain work areas will be different. And it can
be tough for many employees to process every piece of important information
from a thick safety manual. Placing safety signs around the workplace, while helpful
in reminding workers of certain precautions to take, will not be enough either to
ensure a healthy and safe working environment.
This is why safety training videos need to be included as one of the effective ways
of communicating the safety program and procedures of the company. Videos are
fairly successful in capturing and maintaining employee attention, which means
workers are able to digest the information they need in order to perform their taskssafely. People are much more receptive to getting information through imagery as
opposed to when it is in written format.

By using a safety training video, your company can communicate its unique rules
and regulations to keep the workplace safe. You can illustrate your emergency
procedures for specific situations. You can better demonstrate how specialized
equipment should be operated in a safe manner. This means that the safety
training video, whether it is specific to emergency procedures or about proper
equipment handling, can be used repeatedly. Instead of designating a trainer and
spending on training seminars, you can just use your safety training video for new
employees.
But other than saving costs on training to deliver your safety program, the videos
you have can also protect your company against liabilities. Insurance firms may use
your library of videos to prove that you have done all that you can to keep your
workers informed and trained so that they remain safe while carrying out theirresponsibilities in the workplace.
Safety training is critical to the success of any business. When employees are
protected against hazards and the company is shielded against risks, the business
can operate without interruption and ensure that profits are made. By using
engaging and informative videos to deliver your companys safety programs, you
enable your employees to better recognize unsafe conditions and teach them to
act according to your safety rules and regulations.

Why Businesses Should Choose Pre-Printed 5S Red Tags
Efficiency, safety, and profitability
these are the intended results from any
businesss 5S program. The 5S program
was conceptualized in Japan, and the
5S stands for seiri (tidiness), seiton
(orderliness), seiso (cleanliness),
seiketsu (standardization), and
shitsuke (discipline). From a
manufacturing plant to an auto shop,
every business uses the basic and fundamental systematic method towards
improving safety, productivity, and profitability. And one of its critical aspects is in
the sorting phase, which is when redundant items are marked for removal from any
work area.
Seeing Red
To facilitate the quick and easy removal of unnecessary items from old machines
that are not being used anymore to auto body shop wastes businesses need to
use a visual management tool like red tags. Red tags make it easy to get a work areacleaned up and organized. When a work area is tidy and everything is in its proper
place, workers will naturally be more productive, the quality of service will
undoubtedly improve, accidents will be avoided, and the business can immediately
resolve any serious issues in the workflow and prevent future production problems
in the process.
While it sounds pretty straightforward enough to put a red tag on unused items in
work areas, businesses that merely put tape in the back of red construction paper
might risk looking unprofessional. The crude, homemade 5S red tag may also
indicate the businesss lack of commitment to its system of continual improvement.
Moreover, it is likely that the adhesive on the tape may wear off and the red tag
could easily fall off.

Marked for Success
Instead of relying on DIY red tags, businesses should consider using pre-printed 5S
red tags that also come in varying styles. There are pre-wired red tags, which make
it more convenient to attach to items that need to be removed from work areas.There are red tags with built-in adhesives, which make it easier to stick on to certain
items that do not have a good tie-point for strings or wires. These pre-printed red
tags are also designed to stay on for as long as they are needed and contain enough
space for required and additional information.
A work area that is overrun by unused items, waste materials, and other redundant
pieces will be vulnerable to disorganization, accidents, and other workflow
problems that spell extra costs for the business. By implementing the 5S program
and using professional and reliable red tags as a visual management tool, a business
is more than likely to succeed in maintaining an efficient, safe, and profitable
operation.

Seven Fun And Creative Uses For Floor Marking Tape
So youre already done with the home
reno-recon project, but you still have a
lot of excess materials that you want to
put to good use while youre still feeling
creative. Well, there are numerous ideas
available that you can try and you can
devote a couple of hours or an entire
weekend trying all these ideas out,
delighting in the process of making
things more functional and enjoyable by using these excess materials you have
from your home renovation project.
From these materials, you can start off your special DIY projects with your
collection of colorful floor marking tape (that you really just used to mark where
certain elements for your home renovation project were to go). Provided below are
seven ideas you can try either to continue with your home enhancement project or
just to create something fun for a special occasion.
1. If you have children who love to play hopscotch, you can choose a spaciousarea inside or outside your house and create an elaborate hopscotch pattern.
Whats better about using floor marking tape is that it doesnt get erased when the
young ones accidentally step on it, and you can combine different colors for a
better visual appeal.
2. Upcycle plain furniture like wood chairs and benches. You can create stripes,
a gingham pattern or even a weave (if youre really patient) using the tape.
3. Make instant picture frames. Floor marking tape doesnt only stick to thefloor; it also adheres to walls and ceilings structures you may want to stick some
pictures to. You achieve a nicer display for these pictures by putting themin peel-
able frames that come in really nice colors.

4. Create faux tiles for plain floors and conceal some blemishes at the same
time. Using the applicator, you can stick straight lines and create perfect rectangles
and squares to achieve a new look for your floors.
5. Create nice borders for doors, windows, ceilings, floors, and walls. Bordersare just straight lines most of the time and the cool advantage about using floor
marking tape is that should you get tired of the look, you can just peel it off and
come up with a new one.
6. For Halloween (which is just around the corner), Family Fun magazine offers
the idea of creating a highway costume for the little ones. With a grey sweatshirt
and sweatpants, stick the tape on the sweats, then pin some matchbox cars and
voila! A highway with cars!
7. Use it to make cheap wall decals. Some DIY gurus create tree branches with
the tape then attach push pins to the branches from which you can hang
accessories or other ornaments.

Using A Floor Sign As A Constant Reminder To Be
Careful
Whether youre at home or at yourwork place, its important to be extra
careful. But sometimes, its hard to
rely on your memory to remember
certain warnings (especially since
there are just so many things to think
about) to ensure your own personal
safety. What you can do is to put up
viewable reminders in strategic placesso you would always be guided on
how youre supposed to behave or what youre supposed to do.
At home, you may put up a white memo board and you can just write the important
reminders for the day, such as to use a towel when opening the refrigerator door
because the handle is gives off a slight electric buzz, or not to use the kitchen tap
because the plumber has not fixed it yet, and such. Using a whiteboard for memos
and other reminders is quite effective and you can easily change the remindersevery day. Now, if you want something more colorful, post-its or sticky notes are
good alternatives, but you will be consuming a lot of paper if you constantly need
to change reminders. But for tasks to be accomplished regularly or things to be
followed all the time, sticker signs you can stick to walls or floors are the best
options they do not get erased either, so thats an extra benefit you get.
In the workplace, on the other hand, theres a need for eye-catching signage to
make sure that important reminders or warnings are hard to miss. A floor sign is
particularly effective because its often made with meaningful images that not only
present the warning, but also sometimes the consequences of ignoring the
warning.

These days, floor signs are very easy to customize and makers actually offer a
variety of great designs either to increase efficacy or even to support the aesthetic
sensibilities of the buyers. If you wish to use lots of signage and assign a specific
color or even font to enhance the recognizability of the sign (even if people do not
get to read the written content instantly), sign makers can provide you the best
color options and fonts for this purpose. Lastly, they even take in requests for very
specific signs for personal use; since a lot of people like the industrial look of floor
signs and the pop of color they provide to plain floors, sign makers enjoy the
additional demand and the request for them to stretch their design chops.
Therefore, if you need to have reliable and effective reminders of the things that
you should be careful or mindful of, floor signs with the message that applies to
you are definitely worth buying.
Check out 5s Today for their selection of floor signs.

Why You Should Invest In An Industrial Label Maker For
Your Business
Many business professionals and expertshave long looked up to Japan and its
impressive growth in the last few
decades. Apart from being a key player in
the global and political arena, the
Japanese have been known for
implementing various key concepts
pertaining to management and
productivity.
One of these key concepts is the 5S process, which means Seiri, Seiton, Seiso,
Seiketsu and Shitsuke. In English, this translates to tidiness, orderliness, cleanliness,
standardization and discipline or, in some translations, sorting, setting in order
to flow, systematic cleaning, standardizing and sustaining. The overall goal of the
5S process is to create a safer, more efficient and more productive workplace.
Another important benefit gleaned from this process is the boost in employee
morale among a business's staff members.
In the Western context, these principles can be achieved in quite a number of ways
including providing training, outlining the role of each individual, defining each
workspace properly and even floor marking. With an industrial label maker, you
can easily satisfy the requirements set forth by the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
But apart from complying with the recommendations of OSHA and ANSI, marking
floors can enable your business to save time and money as well as boost safety inthe workplace.
According to OSHA, permanent aisles and passageways should be marked. The
ANSI Z535.2 Safety Color Code, on the other hand, has designated the color yellow

as a caution color and should be used in areas where your personnel may stumble,
fall or trip. While you can paint specific areas in the work area, paint has a tendency
to chip and peel overtime, especially in areas where there is heavy foot traffic.
A good industrial label maker is versatile enough to be used either on the factoryfloor or in the office for 5S, lean and pipe marking, making it a good investment.
Instead of outsourcing your labelling needs, you can print your own labels, saving
your business both time and money. These printers can produce labels of varying
lengths and widths which can withstand the elements as well as chemicals and daily
wear.
When shopping for a printer, opt for those which will work well with the software
installed on your office computer, be it a word processing tool or desktop layout
software, to enable you to cut the learning curve required to operate it.
