Warehouse Robotics and Automation Safety - Week Two

Training and Education – Knowledge is Your Best Safety Tool

Understanding how to work around automation is crucial for everyone’s safety. With well-planned training, we can operate in these environments confidently and safely. Please take advantage of every training session, as it may one day be critical to helping you or someone else.

Here are some high-level safety tips for training around automation:

• Embrace Training Opportunities: Be sure you thoroughly understand how to work around automation safely.
• Know the Capabilities of Machines: Learn what automated systems can and can’t do to avoid unsafe assumptions.
• Familiarize Yourself with Emergency Procedures: Know local emergency response protocols and how to activate them.
• Request Extra Training: If you think training in First Aid or CPR would benefit your team, speak up.
• Keep Learning: Don’t become desensitized to safety; stay curious and proactive about automation safety.

As always - be sure to follow the rules and regulations of your specific facility.

Ongoing training is vital in reducing accidents and improving response time in emergencies. Let’s commit to knowing as much as possible to protect ourselves and each other.
