SUBJECT: Safety Precaution—Proper Storage
I’d like to emphasize the fact that plant aisles should not be used for storage of any kind. Equipment, goods, and supplies stored in the aisles not only block passage but also increase the likelihood of accidents.
A case in point: While waiting to punch the time clock, an employee standing on a skid with a loose board slipped and struck his back on the skid. Apparently the skid, loaded with boxes of samples from the lab, had been placed in the aisle for temporary storage.
To prevent recurrence of a similar accident and to make your operation smoother, please observe the following safety precautions:
• Do not store anything in the aisles.
• Call Maintenance to arrange transport of bulky items you cannot move yourself.
• Ask me to assign extra storage space when a large shipment of supplies or equipment cannot be contained in your area.
Thank you for cooperating with us in maintaining a safe workplace.
