5. 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

6. 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
