5S – Defined • What are the 5S’s? • Sort – “When in doubt, throw it out”; Red tagging unneeded items • Store – “A place for everything, everything in its place”; Point of use • Scrub – “Clean for inspection”; Hospital clean; Better work atmosphere • Standardize – “How do I know that should be there”; Color coding • Sustain – Audit and follow-through; continual improvement through inspection
5S For Safety • What are the 5S’s for Safety? • Sort – Remove potentially unsafe / broken items from the area • Store – Items are safely and ergonomically positioned for use, aisles and workstations are safe from unseen dangers • Scrub – No hidden dangers, no hidden instructions • Standardize – Visual safety signs, postings are current and meaningful • Sustain – Audit and follow-through; continual improvement through inspection, training • What to look for: • Pinch points • Trip hazards • Broken machinery • Slippery floors • Sharp objects • Missing instructions • Fall hazards • Poor ergonomics • Missing/broken guards • Exposed moving parts • Burn hazards • Improper containers
5S For Safety Program Key Points • Red Tagging for Safety is a continual process, not an “event”. Employees should red tag anytime they see an issue. All employees receive a short 5S for Safety Training session • Red tagging is visual, and visual boards show what items are outstanding • Periodic standard audits dig deeper with probing questions • Audit scores can show trends and levels of improvement • Safety audit team is developed
Red Tag • Red tag technique: • Physically identify (tag) items that are unsafe in the work place • Fill out and attach the red tag to the unsafe item • Pull off the bottom, give it to your supervisor • Supervisor identifies the correct path forward, then places tag on 5S for Safety board until the problem is resolved • Supervisor turns in completed tags for tracking
