Quickly build a catalog of prebuilt safety talk topics for your workers.
If you help build or maintain Canada's roads, you're hiring and training right now. Yes, likely today!
Bringing on new, and returning workers means that you're delivering important safety talks.
To help our safety teams deliver their safety program, we just released the prebuilt safety talks module on Field Relay.
We know that crews become exhausted from running the same old safety talks. Now, workers can choose from prebuilt talks, and tweak the details to match their work in the field.
Deliver more impact with these 6 guidelines for better safety talks:
Keep 'em short! Safety talks should be around 5-10 minutes.
Keep workers involved by asking them questions or having them demonstrate safe work practices.
Focus on one topic. Keep it relevant to the work being performed that day.
Openly discuss topics around recent incidents.
Consistency starts each day with safety on the mind. 🧠 Run these daily.
Check for any questions at the end of each talk.
Our brains are littered with limiting biases (eg., overconfidence bias, confirmation bias, status quo bias, and more). So, in order for your workers to be as safe as possible, you need to bring important content to your safety talks in an engaging way.
Your team is going to love this new feature.
What works for you in your safety talks?
