Never Hold a Boring Safety Meeting Again!
A SPECIAL REPORT
FOR SAFETY SUPERVISORS & MANAGERS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Executive Summary
Safety managers and supervisors know they can repeat safety advice and safety
rules until theyre blue in the face and it still may not be enough.
But thats exactly what it takes to raise safety awareness and keep it there
strong safety training followed-up with regular safety reminders.
The challenge is finding new ways to say the same thing, and fresh ways to
shake up safety talks.
Safety managers have been heard to say theyd give their right hand to find a
way to consistently deliver effective safety messages.
Well, fork it over because here it is.
This report is a compilation of proven safety training tips and ideas that managers
and supervisors can put into practice right away and get great results.
All the ideas are the practical kind of hip-pocket help supervisors can use to
instruct or inspire employees to work safely all the time.
Some of the ideas youll want to photocopy and pass out to employees. Others
youll want to work into your safety training sessions and discussion with workers.
For instance:
How will a juiced-up chicken get their attention? Thats on page 5.
Need to drive home the horrors of an excavation collapse? Try page 9.
Want a quick way to measure just how strong your safety culture is? Page 13 can
show you how.
Or how about the safety prizes no one wants to win? See page 2.
In all there are 65 great ways to improve training and keep your employees safe.

So why not turn those gripe-fests into a safety training session? The real
enemy here is aggressive driving.
Here are three key points to discuss:
1. The best way to not become an aggressive driver is to adjust your
attitude. Forget the idea of winning. Driving to work is not a race.
Everyone will get where theyre going, if they drive safely.
2. You can avoid getting ticked off at others by putting yourself in their
shoes. Ever been lost, unsure of the road or looking for the right turn?
Not fun when people honk at you, is it? Then give others some leeway,
too.
3. There will always be bad actors who break the rules or drive rudely. Let
them go. Its not your job to enforce the rules of the road or dish out
punishment by teaching them a lesson. Keep your cool and live to
work and play another day.

take risks
get in an accident, and
file a workers comp claim.
Another key is to keep an eye on a suspected workers performance and
behavior.
Clues to look for in a workers performance are poor work quality,
brief, unexplained disappearances from the job, carelessness, errors in
judgment and risk-taking.
Behavioral clues include ongoing financial problems, high turnover of
friends, overreacting to criticism, poor personal appearance and excessively
blaming others.

resistant gloves, bring some for them to hold while youre talking.
Or if you want to discuss the usefulness of steel-toed shoes, let people
drop a heavy weight on a pair of them to prove the point.
In short, making your meetings as hands-on as possible also helps make
them memorable.

to ideas to make sure safety questions are answered before the job starts.
5. Flag unsafe conditions. Every time you walk through an area should
be an on-the-spot inspection for hazards, with corrections made
immediately.
6. Follow up. Good supervisors boost safety by consistent follow-up,
which encourages individual accountability.
