How can you demonstrate your experience with warehouse safety?

Their is no expert when it comes to safety and more often than usual we are more complacent with our tasks especially when we are in environments where we are not supervised at work and even in our homes. Taking Safety trainings like Safe Start has taught me that, when it comes to safety be "the experience" and lead by example by simply taking care of our states ( Rushing, Frustration, Fatigue, or complacency) and our CERTS (Critical Error Reduction Techniques) We can not prevent accidents or near misses by 100% but surely we can reduce the risk of them happening and save many people from all types of injuries if we practice; 1. Self-Trigger 2. Analyse close calls... 3. Look at others... 4. work on habits

Overall walking the job site and having great communication with all employees and guest and management. This is a key factor. Knowing standards and policies doesn’t always help. You have to be able to determine true field conditions, safety hazards that include material handling, PPE, etc etc. this takes time to assess plant layout, shipping and receiving. Environmental hazards. Structural hazards. Noise level exposure. Air quality exposure. Ergonomic twisting and bending. There is a lot to apply every day.

Demonstrating experience with warehouse safety involves being proactive in addressing complacency and fostering a safety-oriented mindset. Participating in safety training programs like Safe Start has equipped me with valuable insights. Rather than relying solely on expertise, I prioritize leading by example. By managing states such as Rushing, Frustration, Fatigue, and complacency, and employing Critical Error Reduction Techniques (CERTS), I contribute to accident prevention. While it's challenging to eliminate accidents entirely, practicing self-triggering, analyzing close calls, observing others, and cultivating positive habits significantly reduce the risk of injuries in warehouse environments.

In addition, ensuring that qualified persons operate machines/equipment will help prevent unwanted incidents and LTI. Also,ensuring commitment to warehouse safety through HSE workshops/ training will raise employee awareness of the dos and don't within the warehouse thereby improving the safety culture.

One to me which should be first is to review the safety program that is in place if there is one. Then once you review and look at the accident and incident statistics so you can find what the program is strong and as well as what it is weak in and from that it gives you the pattern of what is working and what isn't so that what needs complete change can be changed what needs tweaks can be tweaked and as always even the good can be better so small adjustments can be made for the program that is strong as well as redoing parts of the program that is weak or that is very bad need to be completely overhauled. Then you can teach and show the employees why certain things work well and why other things don't work at all.
