SAFETY BOOKs

Chances are good that your last safety meeting wasn’t outstanding, awesome or fabulous. Well, you’re not alone. When asked, most people say that their safety meetings fall very short of these descriptions. Some describe their safety meetings as some of the absolute worst they have had to attend. They are a function of well-meaning people who want to make it safe where they work but do not know how to hold a GREAT safety meeting. A GREAT safety meeting is one where everyone actively participates, the discussions are engaging, and actionable steps are identified and followed up on.

Meetings that achieve their goals and leave participants feeling that their time and effort were well spent are within reach. It will require some introspection, a dose of hard work, and a willingness to learn from mistakes, but your organization can transform its safety meetings into truly GREAT ones.
