What is a Safety Meeting?
Safety meetings, often called "toolbox talks" or "tailgate talks," are designed for ongoing communication, reinforcement, and discussion of safety topics. They aim to keep safety top-of-mind, address immediate concerns, and foster a continuous safety culture.
Typically these types of meetings run from 15 minutes to no more than 1-hour, depending on the topic, and can be conducted daily, weekly, or monthly. These safety meetings are meant to reinforce previously learned safety practices, refresh knowledge, and address timely or observed hazards. They are perfect to discuss recent incidents like near misses or accidents, identify new hazards, or brainstorm solutions.
