Many people, when asked, reveal that their safety meetings rarely meet the ideal standards. In fact, some go as far as to call them some of the worst they’ve ever attended. These “ineffective meetings” are all too frequent. They arise from the best of intentions, as individuals strive to foster a safe workplace but often lack the skills to conduct an impactful safety meeting.

There are effective strategies to create Great Safety Meetings—gatherings that employees genuinely want to attend. These meetings can yield tangible results and leave participants feeling that their contributions were valuable.

While it will require some self-reflection, effort, and a bit of trial and error, your organization can certainly achieve GREAT safety meetings.
