How
to Use the Safety
Meeting Outlines
SAFETY DOCuments Safety Meeting
Outlines are for safety meetings on a wide range of topics. Some of the topics
are specific, like Welding and Cutting, while others are more general in nature,
such as Good Housekeeping. Some are more like templates, for which you have
to supply the technical information - like How to Introduce a New Procedure.
When the topic doesn't exactly match your needs, use the outline as a starting place to
custom-design your own meeting outline.
Turning an Outline into a Meeting
Each topic is presented as you might say it in an
actual safety meeting. You could read the material just as it is and find yourself
presenting an acceptable safety meeting. However, our presentation will be much more
effective if you use this information as a guideline, inserting details about your
operations and tying the topic directly to what your people do each day.
How Long a Meeting?
How long will the meeting be if you follow the
outlines? Well, it depends. If you were to simply read the material presented,
it would take from 10 to 20 minutes depending on the topic. If you add a few minutes
for getting started, and 10 minutes for discussion at the end, you're going to take 25 to
35 minutes. If you sprinkle stories, examples, and discussion questions throughout,
add 10 to 20 more minutes. If you have a demonstration, you'll add even more time.
Once you have a few meetings under your belt, you'll be able to predict about how
long each part of the meeting will last.
Break the Meeting in Two?
If you have only a short time available for a meeting,
or if you have so much detailed information to provide that it won't fit in one meeting,
split the topic into two parts. For instance, take first aid. You might get a
refresher course into 30 minutes. If you want to go in-depth, and have your people
practice treating "casualties," break the subject up into natural parts; in this
case, you might choose bleeding for one meeting, breathing for another, and heart attacks
and other problems for a third meeting. Or, you might decide that CPR training is
important for all your people, and you might have to schedule a number of sessions to get
that extensive training accomplished.
