Weekly safety meetings are an integral part of any effective safety program. Without constant reminders on safety information, employees tend to forget, get sloppy, take risks, and have accidents. The good news is that it doesn't take a lot of effort to work some attention-grabbing review into your weekly safety program. For example, you can remind employees at your weekly safety meeting about a broad range of key safety issues through newsletters, your website, posters, payroll stuffers, eye-catching bulletin board notices, and on-the-job feedback.
Weekly training meetings are a great refresher, and keep your employees abreast of changes in the regulations, job procedures, equipment, PPE, job assignments and responsibilities, or written plans, such as an emergency action plan. Refresher training is also sometimes required, in which case having a pre-planned weekly meeting is a convenient way to go over required training.
Effective weekly safety meetings should be an integral part of any effective safety program. It is critical to hold regular OSHA safety meetings at all levels of the company to ensure that workers receive the information they need to stay safe on the job.
