5S is a system for organizing spaces so work can be performed efficiently, effectively, and safely. This system focuses on putting everything where it belongs and keeping the workplace clean, which makes it easier for people to do their jobs without wasting time or risking injury.
5S is the name of a workplace organization method that uses a list of five Japanese words: seiri, seiton, seiso, seiketsu, and shitsuke. Transliterated or translated into English, they all start with the letter "S". The list describes how to organize a work space for efficiency and effectiveness by identifying and storing the items used, maintaining the area and items, and sustaining the new order.
Introduction to 6S (5S plus Safety) methodology for continuous improvement. You will find this informative and full of practical advice to get started right away.
5S Implementation - The first step to continuous improvementAdrian Oprea
Implementing 5S results in obvious improvements within the application area, plus, or even more importantly, in the change of people’s attitude towards their work and towards what they are doing.
5S implementation is the first steps to increase the efficiency in your company and the base for the future improvements.

6S (previously known as 5S) is a visual system for improvement that helps create and maintain an organised, clean, high performance workplace. It forms the basis for standards work, which enables you to measure improvements. The extra ‘S’ was added to the 5S Lean tool to emphasise the importance of safety. The 6S stands for:
o 1. Sort: remove what is not needed
o 2. Set in order: agree what goes where and make easily accessible
o 3. Shine: keep the environment clean
o 4. Standardise: a consistent process agreed by all
o 5. Sustain: continually improve.
o 6. Safety: identify and prevent unsafe conditions
Using 6S will help you to reduce the opportunity for variability in activities by ensuring that everything needed at each step of the process is easily available. This means that any defect in a particular step is easier to see.
Floor Markings, as many facility managers and safety managers know, are an important part of creating and maintaining a safe environment for workers and employees. One of the more apparent examples of this is the creation of safety lanes throughout the facility, keeping humans within safe boundaries - out of the traffic lanes for forklifts or at a distance from dangerous machines.
Floor marking uses are endless and they have their place in almost every industry, coming in many various formats, colors, length and material used. The best of them are made of highly durable materials that can withstand high traffic and extreme environments where solvents, cleaning fluids, oils and other chemical based elements can be found or spilled on to the floor.
Not only the surface material but the adhesive as well need to be able to withstand pressures and other elements that would cause it to buckle, peel or degrade quickly. The most common alternative to floor markings is painting, which can be messy, costly and shut down your facility, or at least a part of it, while the paint is applied and dried.
Here is a look at our product, SafetyTac Industrial Floor Marking Tape:
- #1 Rated, 100' Per Roll:
- Rated # 1 floor marking tape for all traffic situations including high forklift and truck traffic
- Includes a double tapered edge so carts and items can easily slide over it.
- Strong rubber based adhesive. It sticks until you want it to come up.
- Simple and easy peel-&-stick installation. (Applicator is not needed for install)
- No dry time, cure time, fumes or messy clean up to limit productivity.
- Backed by a 1-year warranty.
SafetyTac adhesive tape is the perfect solution for almost any floor marking project you have. It can handle forklift and truck traffic. It has a thinner profile and stronger adhesive, making it suitable for most any facility. Our 100% smear and scuff resistant "caution" striping is ideal for alerting workers where to be cautious in the workplace.
Hazard striping is ideal for visually warning workers of hazardous work areas. Electrical panels are required to be free from any materials for easy access in case of emergencies. Hazard striping clearly identifies the area and emphasizes the importance of keeping the area clear at all times.
This particular slideshare was constructed to give insight and guidance regarding the various types of floor marking materials available as well as those which are required to be OSHA compliant. While not extensive, nor purporting to be fully authoritative in matter and content, this slide share has many important and interesting elements that almost any facility manager would profit from.

Visual Management: Leading with what you can seeRenee Troughton
Produced and presented by Craig Smith and Renee Troughton at the Agile Australia 2013 20 June.
Using task boards or story walls is a key Agile practice, but are you making the most of it? Visual Management is more than just putting cards on a wall, it is a growing style of management that focuses on managing work only by what you can see rather than reports or paper being shuffled around. Visual Management allows you to understand the constraints in the system, mitigate risks before they become issues, report on progress from the micro to the macro. Visual Management can also be used to demonstrate to customers and clients where the work they care about is at. This presentation is all about taking the management of your work to the next stage of transparency.
Discover:
How to identify when your story wall isn't telling you everything and how to adjust it
* What the three different types of story walls are and which one is more suitable to certain circumstances
* Different ways to visualise your product backlog
Why queue columns and limiting work in progress is so important regardless of whether you are using Scrum or Kanban
* How symbols and tokens can be used to give more information
* What else can you use other than story walls to visualise information
* How to ingrain Visual Management into both the team and management structures of your organisation
* Visualising Your Quality, Testing and Team
* What is systemic flow mapping and why is it important

Hand in hand with 5S implementation is creating Visual Factory. Use of signage, demarcation lines, quality inspection points, easy to ready guages and dials
Visual elements in a workplace have a tremendous impact on education, morale, and productivity.
A visually dynamic workplace energizes employees, builds pride and ownership, and conveys the strength and currency of the organization.
Visual control are means, devices, or mechanisms that were designed to manage or control our operations (processes) so as to meet the following purposes:
Make the problems, abnormalities, or deviation from standards visible to everyone and thus corrective action can be taken immediately (Identification).
Display the operating or progress status in a easy to see format (Informative).
Provide instruction (Instructional).
Helps formulate and proliferate plans (Planning).
The 5S workplace organization system applies a set of basic management principles that many companies widely adopt to maximize productivity and organization. As a cornerstone of Lean management, 5S improves workplace morale, safety and efficiency.
In this training presentation, you will learn how to mobilize and align your management team to launch or improve a 5S and Visual Management implementation in your organization. The presentation covers 5S and Visual Management best practices, step-by-step implementation guidance, and the best ways to integrate lean 5S into the organization's culture to achieve sustainable world-class excellence.

Many organisations are interested in using the proven techniques presented in the Lean Startup methodology. However, most medium to large organisations have to report to stakeholders or stock exchanges and therefore require clear governance procedures. In the past this involved creating extensive business cases and financial models which inevitably took months (or years) to produce. Lean Startup clearly represents a much faster and better way to work. But how can we provide company executive and boards with the information they need to govern their organisation properly?
This presentation presents visualisation tools that were developed in real-world circumstances to transform a corporate environment to run in a Lean Startup manner. We will focus in particular on how to distil and disseminate data into information that both product teams and executives can use to fast-track products to market.
Multi-team Release Planning, as it is often executed, fails to bring alignment beyond one-time inter-team coordination. This hands-on session teaches the techniques and exercises for a Product Wall Release Planning Workshop. The Product Wall Release Planning Workshop brings together all the elements of business needs, user experience, value proposition, dependency resolution, risk mitigation and user story planning. By combining various Agile collaboration techniques in a guided sequence, your multi-team Release Planning can create alignment through learning together and building together a clear path to success, from the release vision all the way to Sprint Backlogs.

While there is no universally-accepted definition of just exactly what combustible dust is comprised of, almost anyone you talk to has an immediate perception of it being something that is very fine in size and very explosive in character.
The NFPA National Fire Protection Association) also states that "Any material that will burn in solid form, in the open air, can also be explosive in dust or particulate form". This is sometimes referred to as deflagration and can take place whenever solids are released into the atmosphere as fine dust. To learn more about combustible dust, check out this informative article: https://www.5snews.com/dangers-combustible-dust-within-workplace/ .
The common types of combustible dusts that we are most familiar with include various metals, wood, plastic, rubber, coal, flour, sugar, and paper. While this is not a comprehensive list, these are some of the most common materials and most are present to some degree in our modern day manufacturing plants and industrial facilities.
We at Creative Safety Supply hope that you find this slideshare informative and helpful and that it might also spur you or your safety manager(s) to take a closer look at possible dust hazards lurking in YOUR facility.
For free guides on safety and visual signage floor markings in your facility also check out our web site. We also have free infographics and podcasts from industry leaders in the field of safety equipment, PPE and visual workplace practices, as well as 5S and Lean manufacturing training.

Industrial, manufacturing and construction work sites have plenty of machines. Machines are used for everything from power generation to the sorting of recyclables, and they’re an integral part of assembly lines all over the world.
A number of safety hazards come with working around machinery that employers, safety managers and workers all need to be aware of. By preparing for these dangers, accidents and injuries can be prevented.
In this slideshare we present 10 easy to follow steps that will help ensure your workers a daily safe passage in and around the machines they use.
The 10 steps we discuss are;
1) Don't reach into the machine
2) Use Proper Lockout/Tagout Procedures
3) Stay Clear of Sharp or Moving Parts
4) Watch Out for Cords and Wires
5) Don’t Wear Loose Clothing
6) Wear Proper PPE
7) Use Caution Around Heat Sources
8) Be Careful When Cleaning
9) Communicate, Communicate, Communicate
10) Follow Visual and Written Instructions
If you follow these 10 suggestions, you will find yourself with a whole lot less grief at the end of the work year. To learn more about machine guarding, chick out this article: https://www.babelplex.com/methods-for-machine-guarding-babelplex-industrial-section/ .
Safety Training is extremely important, even though some businesses do not realize just how important it is. For that reason budgets and time for safety meetings are at an all-time low.
In this slideshare we attempt to build the case for a solid, meaningful safety program and training for staff and employees.
Aside from helping your company become more compliant, there is the small, albeit important matter of saving a life or two by creating and maintaining a safe workplace environment.
We encourage you to go through this slideshare with an open mind and to ask yourself if there might not be more you can do for your employees or staff at your facility.
For more information on this and/or other slides and topics in our series, please contact our knowledgeable sales team on pretty much any topic that might concern you.

We all know that many companies employ forklifts and that forklift operators do the main bulk of this kind of labor. These machines are powerful and there is always risk involved when they are used by people who have not been trained on operating them safely.
The National Traumatic Occupational Surveillance System registered 1530 worker deaths from forklift accidents between the years 1980 and 2001. Of these accidents, the biggest portion at 22%, most were caused by a forklift overturn.
Collisions between workers on the ground where the ground worker died accounted for 20% of deaths. Another 16% of deaths were caused by someone being crushed by the forklift and 9% by an operator falling from the forklift.
In fact, each year almost 100 people are killed and another 20,000 injured from forklift accidents. With proper training and diligent safety practices most of these deaths could have been prevented.
If you work around forklifts or are a forklift operator you should learn all you can about using these machines safely to prevent injury or death. All forklifts fall under the category of ‘powered industrial trucks,’ but they are not all the same. Forklifts can be either battery powered or run on gas or diesel fuel.
They also come in different sizes and have different functions according to the kind of work in which they will be used. Each type of lift is characterized by a class. Knowing which class of forklift you will work with should help you to understand its safety features and potential hazards.
We encourage you to ask your forklift drivers to take a look at these 10 easy-to-remember rules and to do their best to follow them at all times.

Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
