Often, the key task of health and safety specialists is considered to be compatible with the equipment of the plant and persons with regulations - so as to avoid punishment in the event of an inspection or accident. By giving people responsible for marking the appropriate tools, however, you can achieve much more.

Floor tapes separating paths for pedestrians and forklifts 

Tapes that allow for separation of paths, as well as warnings at intersections or OHS characters informing about the equipment required in a given area of the object - these are the basic markings used in warehouses and industrial plants. On the one hand, their use allows you to reduce the likelihood of dangerous events, and on the other - to go without any problems possible control of the labor inspection. However, provided that cooperation with a good supplier, using know-how and good practices, using similar tools, you can achieve benefits significantly beyond avoiding punishment. Here are three examples of tagatic visual management solutions, which allow you to realize the behavior of employees and increase the likelihood of their correct behavior, reduce absence and - for example - reduce the risk of a situation in which the truck leaves the dock before loading.

Stickers for stairs and a mirror of protective measures - a way to consolidate good habits

According to CSO data on the causes of accidents at work, an invariably dominant category, corresponding to 60.8 percent in 2021. events, the employee's abnormal behavior is incorrect. By using products that increase the likelihood that people will do according to the requirements and procedures, you can significantly reduce the risk of accidents and errors. Visual management solutions can be used, among others To consolidate behavior in a specific sequence. For example, stickers for vertical parts of the steps enjoy growing popularity among our clients. Thanks to them, employees have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the correct order of specific behaviors at each stairs. In the standard, we produce stickers with fire protection activities. In the first stages of first aid, but we are able to adapt the project to any several degrees of instructions. Other, non -standard tagatic solution allows you to effectively remind you of personal protective equipment necessary in a given zone. At the entrance to the hall or to a specific zone, we stick an illustrative illustration with a properly equipped character and a mirror foil next to it. A person passing near the mirror sees at first glance if he is wearing a set of equipment needed for safe work in a given place.

Security cross and analysis of absence as a method of limiting accidents and absence

One of the standard visual management solutions used in production plants, in which the weight is applied to accident -free work, is a plaque from the so -called security cross. This tool is primarily used for marking which day an accident or a small event (and when they managed to avoid) and counting the number of days without an accident. The use of a security cross in itself allows you to build among employees the belief that non -accident work is an important value in the plant. Even more can be gained thanks to this tool, keeping digital records of accidents and absence on it, and analyzing periodically collected data. For example, one of our clients realized as a result of similar analyzes that every year in one of the zones the number of employees on sick leave is much higher than elsewhere. After examining the situation, it turned out that due to the need to go out to the external magazine, employees were cold. To prevent this, a tent was built and connected with a sleeve with a vestibule. The number of absences in the flu season has dropped significantly.

Appropriate visual instructions and organization of work as a solution to specific problems

It also happens that managers of industrial plants are asking to prepare markings to help solve a specific problem. For example, one of our customers happened, for example, that trucks left before loading was completed. We thought together about the possible solution and prepared visual instructions not only ordering the driver to put on a reflective vest and helmet during loading, but also put the keys to the basket at the warehouse worker. They were issued only when it was confirmed that the loading was successfully completed. The losses caused earlier by premature departure were easily avoided. This is just one example that graphic markings can be used to improve the functioning of the plant. Having our own production and design team, we can not only individualize the characters, but also advise customers what material and how to present the instructions will be the best.
