November 13, 2009, Newsletter Issue #192: Taking A Cue From The Military
Tip of the Week
In some military operations, a change in the lighting in a control room or command center can indicate an elevated safety or "threat" level. If your material handling operation routinely deals with hazardous material, you may wish to consider investing in a warning light system that is activated in times of a hazardous spill or other general threat to worker safety that doesn't require an evacuation--yet. A series of red warning lights in critical areas warns your crews to be on the lookout for a hazardous situation, and to seek further instructions from a foreman or crew boss on what to do. This is especially helpful in parts lockers, repair bays, and loading docks where a crew may be isolated from the rest of the building on a regular basis.
