Workshop Goal

Case
Workshop owner(me) has expressed concerns about the safety and efficiency of the workshop environment. The workshop is used by the entire family for a variety of activities including automotive maintenance, farm and garden care, wood working, bicycle repair, storage etc. With a highly active 5 year old who loves to help dad in the shop, now more than ever, it’s critical to get organized and poke-yoke the safety issues.

Problem
Current workshop organization contains inherent safety issues, that if left undone could harm human life and cause loss of property. Issues include:
+ Easy access to flammables
+ Loft without hand rails – 10 foot fall possible
+ Stairs without railings
+ Piles of metal roofing, old windows, wood abound
+ Poorly lit work stations (loft)

Goal
Create a safe workshop environment by eliminating workshop safety issues
