How to run a short weekly safety meeting

  1. Pick one topic that matches this week's work. A toolbox talk topic keeps it short.
  2. Ask the crew what has been bugging them. Write it down under hazards.
  3. Give each action a name and a date. An action with no owner rarely gets done.
  4. Start next week's meeting by checking last week's actions.
  5. Have everyone sign in, and keep the minutes with the sign-in sheet.
