Hello everyone, I am new to the site and enjoy reading some of the comments. I am the company trainer and retired from the military before working here, so I have had many years in the training environment.
As for cell phones, I agree, "an accident waiting to happen". We do not allow cell phones, food or drink in any of our warehouses. Now, in some of our southern facilities we do allow water bottles on the lifts due to the heat in the warehouse.
Now just as with anything else there are a few that think they can get away with it and and beat the system, but they are dealt with on an individual basis.
Constantly sending out reminders in team meetings and making sure we inforce the policies that are in place are the only we can stop this from happening.
Looking forward to checking out all the discussion forums.
