Safety Briefings  

In accordance with 29 CFR 1910.120 (i)(2)(ii), pre-entry briefings will be held prior to initiating any activity.

Safety briefings and attendance will be documented. A safety briefing is a daily task even if the work does not change. Safety briefings will be given by the Safety Officer.

The Safety Briefing, at a minimum, will cover:

  • A review of the past day’s injuries/incidents
  • Any work procedure changes and the accompanying safety procedure changes
  • Any changes to the Command or Supervisory structure
  • Any issues/cautions the Safety Officer considers relevant

The Safety Briefing is an opportunity to remind the personnel involved with the deployment of the importance of safety. As such, a daily Safety Message may be
presented as a part of the briefing. This Message may be given to the Supervisors to review with all of the employees reporting to them. Please see the library of Safety Messages.
