How often do you have safety meetings?
Who is on your safety commitee and leads it?
What do you discuss?

Trying to reorganize here with new employees and just getting some ideas.
Thanks

We have numerous types of safety meetings. There is a monthly Health and Safety Commitee Meeting, Monthly Tool Box Meetings by department for a topic of the month, Tool Box Meetings generated by specific incidents or concerns, Orientations, job specific training, hazard Identification sesions, etc...
Our Health and Safety Officer leads the Health and Safety Commitee with members from all departments. Representation from the various departments changes on a regular basis in order to keep everyone involved.
Discusions include investigation results, health and safety inspections, unsafe conditions, training, certification, audits, etc...

We are quarterly or if something big happens then right away. Maint manager is the safety manager. Same crew for each meeting. All from different depts. They ask around before each meeting about concerns. Normally just makes an extra quarterly maint list of things to do, but still informative. Also go over all injuries for the quarter and ways to reduce them.

Have ONE meeting about a BEHAVIOR that can be changed to be safe. Forget Engineering controls just once. They are far more easy than a behavior change but a safety culture is based on changing behavior. Harder than you think.

Great points! It is good to change things up in meetings, especially safety.

Really some amazing and helpful tips provided by you here. And it very important and basic thing that you should have to be aware for regular meetings. Most important benefit of meeting in my view is it keeps people aware of whats going on and also can make people updated.
