 Rack Staging

 

  • Stage like product with like product.
  • Pod racks together. Vigoro with Vigoro, PW with PW, etc.
  • Keep overflow racks close to where product will go.
  • It will be too busy to move racks in and out Friday-Sunday.
  • Make sure racks are signed with price signs and BMSM signs.

 

 Shrubs

 

  • Mariani is shipping 30 stores Wednesday-Friday this week. Schedule has been sent out.
  • Shrubs need to be merchandised in the corral NOT on perennial tables.
  • Work with your shrub partners on space.
  • Do not leave them on racks in the corral. They need to be merchandised every visit.

 

 Accelerator Trees

 

  • Use your NEW Accelerator Tree 12x24 signage.
  • We also have 5x8 sun signs that need to be utilized.
  • All the trees have been dropped. Make sure we water them when needed.
 

 

 

 Safety

 

        Slips/Trips/Falls- How to prevent.     

  • Pallet and Pallet Jack Safety-proper usage of pallets, no riding the pallet jack, don't leave empty pallets sitting, keep jack from being a trip hazard, use pallets that are safe (no nails sticking out or broken boards.  Keep pallets even to avoid trip hazard.  
  • Hoses and proper use-not leaving strung out, putting up wet floors signs, draining the hose after use, cleaning up the floor(squeegee), putting up a sign in crosswalks where people may walk.  Make sure the hose is in good working condition (no leaks or holes)

Ladder Safety

 

  • Proper techniques while using, locking it before use, don't lean over the edge, use the stairs properly.  Make sure tables are stable and you are using a ladder to access the table before climbing on to hang signs.
  • Do not stand on the table to get plants off the top shelf of racks.
  • Do not walk on the table edge if you must climb on it.  Especially end cap pieces.
  • Having proper nonslip footwear.
  • Cut off shrink wrap entirely to prevent a trip hazard.

How to handle Extreme Temps (Cold and Heat)

  • Avoiding/preventing heat stroke-drinking lots of water, using PPE (hats, glasses, long sleeves) taking breaks when needed.  Wearing sunscreen
  • Proper cold protection-wearing warm clothing and gloves, avoiding icy areas (get salt)
  • Wearing appropriate work attire- no open toed shoes, heels or shoes that are slippery.    

Empty CC Racks

 

  • Cut banners and zip ties off racks.
  • Clean garbage off racks.
  • Pick one spot in the back of the store to use the entire season for empties.
  • Send back starter and gallon trays on one rack.
  • Notify Jeremy Allen when you have a surplus of empty racks.
