This manuscript explores the application of the 5S methodology in optimizing workplace safety and efficiency within the context of biopsy training equipment. Drawing from a Quality Improvement Report presented at the 2023 RSNA annual meeting, our manuscript focuses on implementing 5S principles with a dedicated emphasis on safety (the 6th S). We demonstrate how the systematic application of 5S principles can revolutionize the functionality of biopsy training equipment, mitigate safety risks, and enhance overall workplace productivity. This manuscript offers valuable insights and practical strategies for improving healthcare training environments, with broader implications for quality improvement initiatives in the healthcare sector.
