Construction Safety

Regular safety meetings are a great way to begin tackling safety on your job sites. They don’t have to be formal or lengthy. Starting out, you don’t even need an agenda. The simple act of talking about safety on a regular basis makes it top of mind for your crew. When people talk about safety, they work more safely. And chances are they’ve noticed dangers first-hand and have ideas for mitigating them. Start by setting a standing weekly time for a safety discussion. Not only will it help protect your company and your bottom line from costly injuries, it’ll likely improve company culture and key intangibles like employee satisfaction and retention (which impact work quality). Once you’ve established a regular meeting, you can begin planning more topic-specific safety discussions and even ask members of your team to lead meetings.
