5 Tips for Improving
Warehouse Efficiency
With supply chain demands increasing by the day, the need to enhance warehouse
efficiency is also on the ride. Today’s customers demand speed; a whopping
92% of shoppers say shipping is a crucial factor in their purchase decision. This
means businesses have to improve their warehouse efficiency to satisfy these
expectations and remain competitive. Read on for five simple ways to make your warehouse
operations more efficient, and your business more reliable.
1. Invest in pallet racking
The use of pallets not only helps with the organization of the warehouse, but it simplifies shipping
as well. Pallets have been used for the better part of the past century and are now a shipping
gold standard among small and large businesses. If you are already using pallets, consider
investing in pallet racking for easier handling of products and better utilization of vertical
warehouse space. You can get your pallet racking from a reputable company such as Safety
Source, which guarantees not only quality products but also offers delivery and installation
services.
60
2. Keep it clean
Clutter in a warehouse is not an uncommon
sight. A lot goes on in a typical warehouse, and
keeping it clean may sometimes be challenging.
Dust and debris can damage product
packaging, potentially costing you extra time
and money. Boxes and other containers on the
floor may also impact movement and even cause
injuries, which can be disruptive to operations.
Avoid these prospects by implementing a strict
cleaning routine built with the warehouse’s
schedule in mind.
3. Label everything
Despite being around for decades, labeling
is an underrated way of simplifying product
identification and movement of goods both to
and from a warehouse. Labels can help you
speed up the loading and unloading processes
as workers won’t need to confirm with anyone
about packaged products before putting them
away.
4. Use a warehouse management system
Warehouse management systems are computer
applications used by warehouse managers
to view and control warehouse operations
from a single interface. A good WMS system
helps keep track of inventory movement and
can work with other systems within the supply
chain, including warehouse execution systems
and transportation management systems. You
should consider a WMS that has automation
and AI features if you are looking to reduce your
workload as well.
5. Reduce touchpoints
Keep the movement of goods in and out of
the warehouse smooth by reducing inventory
and order touchpoints. This simplification will
not only help free up the warehouse for more
inbound products but also minimize risks.
Proper segmentation and use of conveyor belts
and complementary warehousing equipment
can help facilitate this.
Endnote
These five tips are fundamental to improving
warehouse efficiency. By implementing them,
your facility will experience a tangible change
in operation speed and productivity. You might
also save some money in the process.

If Petroleum Engineering
Is Your Future, You’ve Got
to Work for It
If petroleum engineering is the future that you see for yourself, you need to make sure that
you are doing everything in your power to see your dream come true. There are a few things
that you are going to need in order to make this possible, and we’re going to be talking about
them in this article. As such, if you are interested in finding out how to secure engineering as
your future, keep reading down below.
Education
The first thing that we are going to mention is education. You are going to need the right level of
education if you want to go up in the industry, so you have got to dedicate yourself to learning
everything that you need to know. Of course, you will learn plenty more on the job over the
years, but we’re talking about the basics that you need to learn in a classroom. It’s true to say
that education isn’t for everyone, but you’re not going to get very far without it.
68
Don’t forget that you have got to be willing to do some things that you might not be the best at.
However, you have got to be able to show that you have this knowledge and most companies
ask for some kind of certificate of education.
Job
The next thing that you are going to need is a job. We know that the job market is competitive
which is why it can be difficult to secure one of these at the moment. Seeing as this is a highlyskilled
trade you are going to be competing against people who are as dedicated as you are
to the job. You need to make yourself the most attractive candidate which sometimes means
you need a little more than knowledge about engineering specifically. An example of this
would be if you had a sharp business mind, and when they ask if you have anything to add,
you can wow them with it. Suggest making your company dormant or one of the companies
they own, and whatever else you can come up with. Make sure that your suggestions are
relevant though, otherwise this will go against you.
Passion
The final thing that you are going to need to have is passion. Passion is the driving force
behind everything. It’s the thing that makes you love engineering. It’s the thing that means that

An Employee Was Injured
Onsite, Now What?
Imagine walking into work and seeing one of your worst nightmares unfolding in front
of your eyes: one of your employees is injured, and it looks serious. As the business
owner, you spring into action, ensuring that an ambulance has been called and that
all other employees are safe. After the chaos dies down, you’re left to wonder—
what happens next?
To prepare for such scenarios, employers should learn more about the workers comp
settlement process and the specific provisions of their workers’ comp insurance
policy.
Breaking Down Workers’ Comp Coverage
This form of insurance is required for businesses in every U.S. state besides Texas.
Depending on where your company operates, you may have the option to purchase
a policy from a private insurance provider. Some states, however, require companies
to invest in coverage from a state fund.
72
When workplace incidents occur, workers’ comp covers the
following:
• Medical expenses related to a workplace injury or illness
• A portion of the wages lost by the employee due to their injury and recovery time
• Compensation for any permanent injuries
• The cost of retraining
• In the case of a workplace fatality, benefits to their survivors
• Some policies may also cover the employer’s legal fees or a portion of settlement
should the employee reject the workers’ comp compensation package.
After a workplace injury occurs and the injured employee has received care, the
compensation process begins:
Step 1: The Employee Files a Claim
If an onsite or work-related accident results in an injury, the injured employee must
report it to their employer.
Once the employer is informed about the injury or illness, the employee has suffered,
they will issue the appropriate forms. The paperwork includes forms that will be issued to
the company’s insurance provider and the state’s compensation board. The documents
also include information about the employee’s rights and the benefits the compensation
provides.

Under what circumstances can an employee file a claim? For a worker to claim compensation
under this coverage, the following criteria must be met:
• The worker in question is an employee of the company, not a hired contractor.
• The injury or illness in question was suffered while on duty. The activity taking place when
the injury occurred must be clearly within the scope of their work-related tasks. These can
be activities that were being done offsite.
• The employer must have a workers’ comp policy.
Step 2: The Insurance Provider Responds
Once the paperwork is completed, the forms, along with a medical report from the employee’s
doctor, are sent to the insurance provider. Based on the information provided, the insurer
will decide whether to honor the claim or deny it. If a claim is denied, the employee can
pursue an appeal.
Each state has a different policy for how workers’ comp benefits are calculated. In general,
the compensation packages include payment for:
• Temporary total disability
• Temporary partial disability
• Permanent disability
• Reimbursement of medical expenses
Step 3: The Employee Accepts or Rejects the Insurance Offer
In most cases, the injured employee will accept the compensation package offered by the
insurance provider. However, if an employee feels that the compensation is inadequate,
they have the right to pursue a settlement from the employer. Their options include:
• Accepting the compensation offer as-is
• Negotiating a more substantial structured compensation- If the employee feels the value
of the compensation package offered will not adequately cover their medical care or their
loss of income, they can attempt to negotiate a payment plan with the employer.
• Negotiating a lump sum payoff- The employee can choose to pursue a one-off settlement
with the employer. This lump sum would include an estimation of total medical expenses
and disability payments.
If the two parties formally agree on a deal, the case is closed and cannot be revisited.
Protection for You, and Your Employees
Workplace injuries are unfortunate and difficult to deal with; however, they are not uncommon.
While you may not want to think of this reality, as an employer, it’s your responsibility to
prevent workplace injury, provide workers’ comp coverage, and to respond appropriately
should an accident occur.
Fortunately, workers’ compensation insurance provides a clear path forward when injuries
happen. The design of workers’ comp coverage is twofold: it protects employees by
guaranteeing compensation and care, and it protects employers from financial ruin should
a costly accident arise.
To secure the well-being of your business and employees, be sure to regularly review your
workers’ comp policy and consider an upgrade.

Engineering Careers:
Coping with On the Job
Travel
For professional engineers, visiting all sorts of sites and locations worldwide can
be a regular fixture of their job. In fact, some end up spending so much time away
from home that they abandon having a central base of actions altogether. However,
as anyone that is regularly away from home will tell you, on the job travel can be
draining. The good news is that there are some smart tactics you can use to make the
experience go as smoothly as possible. Therefore, ensuring you are well-rested enough to
supply the accuracy and good judgment that working as an engineer requires.
Choose a carry on only.
It may seem simple, but opting to cake just a carry on can save you a great deal of time
and hassle when travelling by plane for work. In fact, it means that you don’t have to check
in your luggage beforehand. Also, you won’t have to suffer through the long wait until the
80
baggage carousel springs into motion once your flight is over. Therefore allowing you to meet
your clients or make your transport link to the sites on which you will be working much more
quickly and efficiently.

frameborder=”0” allow=”accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-inpicture”
allowfullscreen></iframe>
You can also be sure that any valuable equipment or necessary plans and blueprints that you
are carrying are safe. After all, apart from a brief jaunt through the x-ray machine will remain
with you at all times.
Stay organised and in contact.
Next, if you find yourself travelling from one location to the next, it can be tough to stay in
contact with your clients and customers. Not to mention your nearest and dearest. In fact,
combine this with a situation where a client needs to send physical documents, and you can
have a real problem if you have no single physical base of operations.
Luckily, there is a tactic that you can use to work around such an issue. Is it to use a service
like the one physicaladdress offers. This is because it allows real-life mail to be sent to one
professional address. Then the contents are digitally scanned and forwarded to you online.
This means that no matter where your engineering work takes you, you can be sure you won’t
miss any critical client correspondence. In turn, that means you won’t have to deal with the
delay in projects that this can cause, either.
Opt for an upgrade where possible.
When it comes to engineering as a career, to operate effectively, you must be well-rested
enough to be accurate in your measurements and calculations. You also need to be alert
enough to truly hear what your client is saying to you concerning the problems you need to
solve.
Of course, being stuck on a cramped, a noisy, long haul flight isn’t conducive to these states in
any way. That is why, wherever possible, it’s best to upgrade to business class. At least then,
you will have the facilities to hand that you need to get a decent rest. Thus allowing you to be
on top of your game, as you touch down in your next location.

5 Tips for When You
Marry Military Engineer
Marrying someone in the military
means making sacrifices that a
traditional married person might
not have to make. That might
mean moving around a lot and being home
by yourself or with the children for months
at a time. Finding ways to cope with being a
military engineer spouse can help make the
transition from civilian life a little bit easier.
Here are five tips to take into consideration
when you marry someone in the military.
1. Learn to Cope During
Deployment Periods
You may have to go months without seeing
your spouse during deployment, so consider
how you’ll manage your home, bills and other
responsibilities on your own. You might be
living far away from your family, so you’ll have
to get used to doing things on your own, such
as cleaning the house, doing the laundry and
taking care of the children. On the plus side,
you’ll be able to enjoy military benefits, such
as military engineer pay, military engineer
spouse and family healthcare, a basic
allowance for housing (BAH), recreation
benefits and childcare benefits.
2. Get Used to Moving Around
It’s a well-known fact that military families
often move around a lot, which can be quite
a challenge, especially if you have children.
84
You’ll have to deal with helping them transition
from school to school and making new friends
all over again. You might get homesick when
moving to a new place, but on the positive
side of things, you’ll get to experience
different parts of the country (or maybe even
the world), which could mean you’ll always
have an interesting story to tell. Try to find the
silver lining and keep an open mind whenever
you move to a new place.
3. Find the Right Insurance
Coverage
The last thing you want is to break down on the
side of the road when your spouse and family
are miles away and can’t do anything to help
you, especially if you have your little ones in
the car with you. That’s why finding the right
insurance coverage is of utmost importance.
With USAA, you’ll get a comprehensive auto
insurance policy that saves you hundreds
of dollars each year compared to other
providers. You’ll also get accident forgiveness
and plenty of options based on your vehicle
and your driving record. You can also bundle
your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance to
save up to 10 percent.
4. Get Help Raising Your Family
Raising children in the military is different than
raising children in civilian life. You’ll have to
explain why your spouse is gone so often,
which might not be easy, depending on how
old your children are. You’ll also have the bulk
of parental responsibilities. Not to mention,
you’ll also have to deal with disciplining them
on your own and making sure their emotional
needs are met. You’ll be responsible for
teaching your children right from wrong and
how to care for themselves as they grow. All of
this can be overwhelming, especially during
deployment when the sole responsibility falls
in your lap. Get the help you need from family
members (if possible) or outside help from a
nanny using your military engineer benefits.
5. Continue to Pursue Your Own
Interests
Make time to get out and meet new people,
because being a military engineer spouse can
be lonely sometimes. Find your own interests
and hobbies to pursue so that you don’t
spend all of your time waiting for your spouse
to get back. It’s perfectly okay to have a life
of your own while your spouse is deployed.
Whether you decide to join a book club, learn
to play an instrument, take a writing class or
join an improv class, you can find something
that interests you outside of your marriage.
Get someone to watch the children at least
once a week so that you can take some time
for yourself to do what you enjoy doing.
Adjusting to Life as a Military
Engineer Spouse
Marrying someone in the military doesn’t mean
you’ll always be alone. It just means making
certain life adjustments. You’ll get to make
new friends all over the world, learn about
different cultures and enjoy all of the benefits
that come with being a military spouse. You’ll
also learn to be more independent and be
more inclined to pursue outside interests.
Marrying military also means finding ways to
care for and protect your loved ones, whether
that means hiring help or finding the right auto
insurance.

What is Operational
Definition
If you’re someone who is constantly working in quantifying different kinds of data, then
you’re going to want to know what operational definition is.
In essence, when the phrase “operational definition” is used in terms of data, it refers to a
concise and thorough definition of the measurement. To better explain this, it means that all
parts of your data collection will be explicitly explained.
Operational definition can be used for collecting a wide variety of data points and it can be
essential for knowing the true metrics of the data points. Operational definition can be most
usefill when there is a dispute after the data is collected about whether or not all of the data
points were collected correctly. It can even be used for visual data points and it can help with
visual checks if multiple data collectors are arguing about any points of confusion.
Operational definition is most helpful when it is fully outlined before any of the data collection
begins. Then there will be no confusion amongst team members about what data points
count for what.
When Can Operational Definition Be Used?
Operational definition can be used almost anytime that data is going to be collected. It will
save researchers a significant amount of time in the long run since everyone will be on the
88
same page from the very beginning. It will also ensure that the results that come back from all of
the tests are accurate.
It is extremely important that the operational definition be as detailed as possible because everyone
has a different perception of the world, including each of your researchers. To avoid confusion,
you’ll want to make the instructions as detailed as humanly possible.
There are six key points to include in your operational definition to ensure that your instructions
are clear.
Steps To Create the Perfect Operational Definition
1) Determine What the Test Is Revolving Around
Your team will need to know what characteristic is being measured.
2) Select Your Measuring Instrument
The measuring instrument that you choose can be something physical such as a scale to measure
weight or a clock to determine the amount of time that has passed. However, the measuring
instrument can also be a visual test. If you’re ever going to use eyesight as the measuring tool of
choice, you’ll want to express if normal eyesight will work or if a magnifying glass will be needed
as well.
3) Explicitly Explain The Testing Method
This is the part where the actual test will be explained in depth so your researchers are fully aware
of what is going on. You’ll want to explain what measurements the tests are taking place in as well.
4) State How Decisions Should Be Made
Tell all of your researchers what they should be determining at the end of the test and how they
should be determining it. If this isn’t clearly defined, then the test won’t bring about accurate results.
5) Check That Your Researchers Understand The Operational Definition
Once you have all the other metrics in place, check with your researchers to make sure that they
understand all of the metrics as they should be taking place.

How to Choose Durable
Brown Work Boots Online
Work boots have been used for ages by various professionals mainly, outdoor
workers, laborers and farmers. Though the markets today are flooded with fancy
options, classic sturdy work boots have their takers. A good pair of boots is a
must-have for every stylish man. These stylish and versatile boots can be paired
with your semi-casual as well as casual wardrobe. If you’re looking for a comfortable pair of
shoes that’ll work well for an outdoor job and also look classy when dressed up, we’ve got you
covered. You can buy brown work boots online here.
Functional work boots today are not only used for outdoor work but can be paired with jeans and
a T-shirt for a casual look. To pick out your favorite pair of work boots, follow these suggestions
given below.
Tips on Choosing the Right Durable Brown Work Boots Online
1. Types of Work Boots: You can choose from the main types of work boots; lace up and pull
on work boots. Lace up boots give more support to the feet and the fit can be adjusted through
the lace. Pull on boots don’t have laces and are mostly waterproof. They are used by outdoor
workers like welders, construction workers and firefighters.
2. Good Quality: Since work boots never go out of style, buying a good quality and durable
pair of work boots can be a good investment. While choosing, look for the material of its
composition. Leather boots are extremely durable and since they tend to take on the shape
92
of your feet, they are very comfortable too. For
best quality, go for the full grain leather boots.
These can be identified by their grainy, rugged
texture. Full grain leather is stronger and is likely
to last you for years to come. The craftsmanship
is another important factor that determines the
quality of boots. A well-crafted pair of shoes
tend to last longer.
3. Check the Soles: While buying work boots,
ensure that your shoes are well cushioned and
your feet are pain-free as you work through your
day. Look for cement constructed boots for
improved shelf life. Most work boots come with
replaceable insoles. A good arch supporting
insole not only keeps you comfortable but also
protects you from knee and joint pains. Outdoor
workers should opt for slip resistant soles to
avoid slipping in work areas.
4. Look out for the safety features: Given that
work boots are mostly worn by men who work
outdoors like engineers on a construction site,
most of them come with various safety features
like steel caps to provide safety. Features like
an anti-slip sole, water resistance and electric
shock resistance are some of the sought-after
features to look out. Choose a pair that provides
good protection to your feet.
5. Comfort: Comfort is one of the most important
things to look for, while buying work boots. Since
work boots may take a while to break in and fit
smoothly, to ensure maximum comfort, find a
work boot that fits you well. To buy the correct
fit online, measure your foot size in centimeters
and then match it to the size chart. In case, one
foot of yours is slightly bigger than the other, go
for the larger foot size. For a comfortable fit, the
toe cap should fit well and your arches should
be comfortable. Lace boots provide better foot
support and are easily adjustable.
Styling your Work Boots
Once worn primarily by workers, these chunky
boots have been fashionably adopted by
suave, fashion forward men. Most work boots
are versatile and can be styled in various ways.
Pair your tan work boots with heavy selvedge
denim for a casual look. Since these boots are
masculine, they go well with military inspired
jackets, flannel shirts and jumpers. Work boots
have a rugged look and shouldn’t be paired with
formals like formal trousers.
Conclusion
A good pair of work boots is durable and can
be used for ages. While buying a new pair,
look out for the quality of the material and its
craftsmanship to ensure you buy pair that stays.
Since work boots often take a while to break in,
it’s advisable to wear thick socks with it to avoid
discomfort and blisters. As work boots are low
maintenance, they just require cleaning once
in a while. When dirty, dust them off with a dry
piece of cloth.
Finally, if you plan to buy durable work boots
online, don’t just go for what looks good.
Additionally, make sure you know the material
composition, the type of sole, the safety features
and most importantly it fits you well!

Top 5 Things to Do
After an Accident
The aftermath of a car accident ranges from emotional to outright traumatic.
There’s a lot of adrenaline flowing, and that’s true even if no one is seriously
hurt. That’s why you need to know now what to do if you’re in a car wreck.
Here are the top 5 things to do after an auto accident. We’ll also explain
why these actions matter so much.
Check for Injuries
Once you’ve stopped, start checking yourself and others for injuries. If it is safe
to do so, check those in the other car for injuries. If anyone is seriously injured,
call 911 and request an ambulance. If it is necessary, you may need to get to
safety. For example, a car that’s been thrown into ongoing traffic may get hit
again. If you can, move the car out of the way of oncoming vehicles. However,
that’s a lower priority than taking care of anyone who is hurt.
96
Document As Much As Possible Yourself
Don’t leave everything in the hands of the police. Take pictures of your car
from all sides. Take pictures of their car, as well. Don’t forget to get a picture
of their license plate in case they give you false information or are driving
someone else’s car. Take a picture of their driver’s license and insurance card,
because this is probably more accurate than hand-written notes. Capture the
current road conditions, in case this is relevant to determining fault later. Take
pictures of cross-streets to prove where you were. Ask everyone involved for
their contact information, in case you need them to make witness statements
later.
A side benefit of documenting all of this yourself is that it ensures you have
this information in case the other person leaves before a police report can be
made.
Call the Police
In some states, you’re required to report any accident, including fender benders,
to the police. This allows them to fill out an accident report and document the
scene. In the rest of the country, you want the police report so that you have a
neutral third party account of the accident. Furthermore, only a police officer
can prove one of the parties is drunk or otherwise in violation of the law. If
the police decide not to come out, you’ve already documented as much as
possible.
Wait for Help
Always wait until everyone’s needs have been tended to. Do not leave after
calling for an ambulance. You’re legally required to stay until first responders
have arrived take care of the injured. If you have asked police to come out, you
can’t leave even if you think you’re not at fault.
When the police arrive, get their names and badge numbers. Try to get a copy
of the police report. If that’s not possible, find out the police report number.
Your insurance company may ask for that information when you file the claim.
Notify Your Insurer
Notifying your insurer is among the last things to do after an accident. You
could call them while you’re at the accident scene. They may be able to tell
you what information they need to speed up the claims process. Or they could
explain the claims process to you. This could help you pass the time while
waiting for help to arrive.
