Safety Banners: Use PPE safety banners to increase PPE use awareness in an Industrial Facility or Fulfillment Warehouse.
To have a totally safe environment, wearing the proper PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) is a must in every American industrial and warehouse facility. Using PPE safety banners a s constant reminders to use, check and replace your PPE must be widely utilized. Creating a habit for Personal Protective Equipment use can be created in two simple steps, reminders, and
accountability.
Step One, Reminders:
The most efficient way to give constant reminders to everyone is to strategically place PPE safety banners or PPE safety posters with a message that quickly conveys the message to stay safe with PPE.

Having a checkpoint with a PPE safety banner telling everyone “Safety Starts Here” with images that clearly depict the required PPE is a perfect way to keep safety on their minds. Constant repetition of safety awareness is the easiest way to keep safety on their minds and that is exactly what PPE safety banners and PPE safety posters do for your work environment. A well-placed PPE safety banner with an accurate safety message in your industrial facility or warehouse will be a daily reminder to practice the proper PPE requirements and eventually will become second nature, creating a safer environment for everyone.
Step Two Accountability:
Accountability of oneself is the most important, being the first person to recognize that the PPE is there to keep you safe first is vital to building the proper habit of wearing proper PPE. You must be aware of what your situation is all the time, and you must be aware that PPE is not safety but a measure of protection if something were to go wrong. PPE safety banners and PPE safety posters are an invaluable tool in keeping workers informed about proper PPS use and awareness. Be accountable for yourself and your actions, if you don’t take care of your safety first, how can you help to keep others safe? If you see something say something, one person’s bad habits could lead to the injury of you. Reminding others also helps to reinforce the first step, to always keep safety on your mind. You must always be accountable, there are no exceptions!
If you implement these two steps you will make great strides in creating a safe facility and ultimately a safety conscious person.
Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and wear you PPE… ALWAYS.

Safety Banners: Beating Heat Stress and Proper Hydration
Heat stress can come on quickly and without warning, especially if you don’t know the signs. Getting familiar with the symptoms can prevent illness, injury and even death. Heat Stress safety banners are an excellent way to communicate the symptoms of heat stress. Some of the major signs that are common for both heat stroke and heat exhaustion are heavy sweating, nausea, and dizziness. The three most effective ways to combat heat stress if you are working outside is to drink lots of water, taking breaks to rest, and if possible, to work in the shade or stay shaded with Hats, clothing, or proper PPE. SafetyBanners.Org has a complete line of heat stress and summer hydration safety banners that help prevent heat stress in the summer on the job.
The CDC recommends to hydrate before you begin work, and to drink a minimum of 8 ounces of water every fifteen to twenty minutes while working, but no more than 48 ounces per hour (over hydration can cause salt levels in the blood to become dangerously low). Drinking in shorter intervals hydrates you more effectively than drinking large amounts over big time gaps. Make sure to avoid alcohol which can cause dehydration and over consumption of energy drinks as not to raise your caffeine levels which can cause your heart rate to escalate. And to hydrate after work as well because it may take several hours for your body to rehydrate. You can read more about what the CDC recommends about hydration and working in the heat here. Workplace safety banners are an excellent tool to help stop employee heat stress and keep workers on the job and out of the hospital.

Take Frequent breaks before you start to feel any symptoms, do not push yourself. Taking breaks is especially important if you are working in direct sunlight, try to find a shaded area or better yet an indoor airconditioned space that will allow you to relax.
