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
