Safety Culture Reboot – Improving Safety Meetings

The statement “Our safety meetings are effective” had the second lowest score of all statements in the 2019 Statewide Safety Perception Survey.

In order to improve safety meetings across the state, a team from the Interagency Safety and Health Committee researched the issue and developed “Guidelines for Effective Safety Meetings .”

Key meeting success strategies detailed in the guide are:

  • Meeting preparation
  • Establishing a safety meeting agenda
  • Steps to effectively follow-up on meeting issues

Please review the guide  and incorporate the successful meeting strategies into your safety meetings.
