What makes a good pit?

[SoulianPride]

When it comes to a durable and reliable pit, there are a few things that my team has considered in great length. Here are some things that went into the discussion back during my 3 year run as Safety Captain:

-A bin for things that should stay out; Our safety captains take their job seriously and they put away everything as soon as it is set down and sometimes there can be confusion as to whether or not the tool or part should still be out or not. Have a place for things that need to stay out that aren't on top of carts.

-Another thing is use the 5S' (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain) to figure out what you truly need for an event and what is just extra weight. Then, once you know for sure what you need, make a cart with a specific place for each thing.
