Meetings action items

Action Items are generated when the team found that it needed more information before a defensible finding could be issued. Usually action items are assigned to team members during the course of the analysis they can often be completed quite quickly—say at the next break in the hazards analysis meetings. Action items may be written in the form of a nascent recommendation, i.e., they are a recommendation with a qualifying statement saying that more information is needed before the recommendation is firm.

For example, a major addition to a unit might involve several PSSR team meetings and reviews with some action items to be completed after startup.

Some individuals are reluctant to volunteer to draft meeting summaries because of writer s block and/or concern with appearance or elegance. Offset this by being flexible on the format (e.g., bullets are OK ) or by providing an example. Stress the need to record decisions, action items, and individuals responsible for action items. 

Recap Action Items One way to recap action items is to go around the room and say Most of you committed to action items—please review them for the group before we adjourn. Another approach is to develop, as the meeting progresses, a visible, running list of action items and who will do them.
