One Meeting Minute Thought for Your Week
Do you start every meeting talking about Safety?
You’re putting yourself and every one of your employees in harm’s way if you don’t.
Here an easy way to incorporate Safety into your meetings to help you and your people go home from work as healthy as you arrived.
✅ Include a Safety Moment
👉 Make it 2 minutes or less
👉 Rotate so everyone has a chance to share
👉 Talk about ANYTHING you notice as a safety hazard or a near miss
This can include things like:
⚠ The spilled coffee on the tile floor in the breakroom.
⚠ Your close call on the highway – Why do people text and drive!
⚠ Why you’re going to the chiropractor today due to poor lifting form.
⚠ Your unwise decision to lean off the ladder to hang one more Christmas light.
⚠ The broken window from the rock your lawnmower threw right past your kids!
⚠ The tweet you read about how sitting at your computer is crippling your body.
⚠ How the production worker stopped you from walking through the plant in high heels.
Safety Moments in meetings create an awareness of risks and hazards.
And preventing accidents starts with identifying and removing the dangers we see.
Keep yourself and your people safe.
✅ Include a 2-minute Safety Moment in every meeting you lead.
If you were asked to do a 2-minute Safety Moment right now, what would you talk about?
