Daily preshift review

Connection between nodes is a link. Your connection to other people is a link. For example, when you talk to another person you link with them. When you as part of the leadership team have a face-to-face discussion, hold a daily preshift review, a weekly or monthly meeting, area walk-throughs, and/or review the equipment/machine-specific checklist with your employees, you are directly linked with your employee(s). Refer to Chapter 11, Developing an Activity-Based Safety System. Through your links, your message is directly communicated to the employees in each of these activities. Where you are not directly connected is where information may not be flowing. In addition, the employees you are linked with are in turn linked to other employees. 

Hold a daily preshift review with all of employees at a specified time. 

Attend the daily preshift review at its specified time. 

Employee meetings (daily preshift reviews, weekly meetings, and monthly meetings). One-on-one discussions with employees. 

In addition, this weekly meeting can be used to recap and summarize the discussions from the daily preshift reviews in more detail to ensure that no obstacles or miscommuiucations are in the way of moving toward and enhancing a positive safety culture. 

Compare and contrast the difference between the daily preshift review and the regular weekly safety meeting. 

The daily preshift review is a short, simple meeting that is held with each work group by their direct leader. This meeting is short and to the point, long enough to ensure that all those involved receive the required safety-related topic of the day.
