Performing Weekly / Daily Tool Box Talks will address workplace concerns and provide recommendations for those concerns, assist in planning for a work task, and will encourage overall safety on a project site. It provides employees with the opportunity to contribute ideas and make employees aware of specific safety issues.
When having a safety talk numerous safety issues can be addressed or discussed, common examples of topics are accident reporting, cold stress, crane safety, demolition safety, heavy equipment operation, fall protection, responsibilities, pinch points, fire extinguishers, first aid, housekeeping, electrical safety, hand & power tools, ladders, manual lifting, weather, scaffolds, rigging safety, motor vehicle safety and general safety.
Weekly/ Daily meetings should not go beyond 15-20 minutes and are most effective in the morning before work is started. When a meeting is held in the mornings it refreshes an employee’s mind set to perform work safely for that day’s task. The meeting would be held by a supervisor on the project and would involve participation by employees in regards to the meeting topics.
Employees will be made aware of the location and time for the meetings beforehand to allow them sufficient time to write down or think of any concerns that they may be present on the site.
After supervisors address workers with the chosen meeting topics, employees are encouraged to add ideas and alternative solutions. Allowing employees to participate and brain storm during meetings, develops and encourages a team characteristic within the crew and is a proactive method for limiting safety issues on a project.
Remember Safety is Everybody’s Job and Begins with Teamwork!
