6 S's for Safety Sort Sorting is a process that involves selecting what you need to complete the job and removing everything else from your work area. Straighten (V.1) / Set In Order (V.2) Straighten / Set In Order specifically customizes your workstation and surrounding area to meet your work area needs. Arrange remaining items so they are easy to select, use, and return to their proper location. Sweep (V.1) / Shine (V.2) Sweeping / Shining is powerful because its purpose is to find the reason why things become dirty. Emphasis is on the removal of dust, dirt, and grime to reveal the source and eliminate it. Standardize Standardizing creates a work area free of checklists; if good standards are put in place it will be easier to maintain and continue improving. Sustain Sustainability is the result of how well we have performed the previous four S's. In the sustainability stage, think of ways to eliminate effort in maintaining an area. Safety Building awareness into all activities is the focus of this step. Zero accidents and injuries will be attained when accident prevention, identifying and eliminating hazards, becomes an integral part of your 6S program.
