Meetings weekly/monthly safety

Once the policy has been developed it should be placed on bulletin boards, distributed to all employees, and/or discussed in weekly/monthly safety meetings as applicable. You will know you have communicated the information when every employee in the organization can discuss the reporting policy. Refer to Appendix A for a sample policy statement [2]. 

Meeting/training type Safety Awareness, Incident Investigation, Monthly, Weekly, other. Attach Lesson Plan (refer to sample lesson plan, this appendix). 

An example of criteria for an individual would be to keep in compliance with all company safety policies or participate in all of the safety training for the week. If you tie too many activities of criteria together to earn one reward, people will give up. Then, put in place a monthly team criteria tied to an easy-to-measure activity such as 100 percent team participation in monthly safety meetings or training. 

Hold safety meetings (2 minute shift review, weekly meeting, and monthly meeting). 

Is visible and active in periodic safety-related meetings such as the preshift reviews, weekly/months, face-to-face, etc. 

The intent is to involve the employee, ensure that the work order is vahd, that the hazard and associated risk is valid and needs to be correaed.When the work order is completed, a member of the follow-up team discusses the issue/conditions with the employee who requested a hazardous issue be corrected. If the employee agrees with the fix then the work order is signed off and closed. The follow-up team can present the status of safety-related work orders at weekly/monthly meetings. The status is posted both electronically and hardcopy for all employees to review. 

Traditionally, one-on-one (face-to-face) meeting, daily, weekly, and monthly safety meetings has been used as a type of safety training. 

Target a number of safety improvements, safety observations, and JSA that will be completed monthly. Review metric results every week at team meeting. 

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. 

Meet face-to-face with each employee and have a discussion about safety concerns. Conduct a weekly or monthly meeting as appropriate. 

In the weekly and monthly meetings, employees could demonstrate what they have learned and share feedback on the effectiveness of the training materials and content. Refer to Chapter 11, Developing an Activity-Based Safety System .
