4.7.3 Ongoing Jobsite Safety Meetings

Regular ongoing Jobsite Safety Meetings can be conducted as their own stand-alone arrangements. It may, however, be more effective and more easily accomplished if the meetings are combined with the regular Superintendent’s Meetings with all trade foremen as the first routine item on each meeting agenda.

Meeting agenda items regarding safety and health will at a minimum include:

1. Review of any observed actual or possible safety violations. Determination and implementation of corrective measures, and responsibility for correction.
2. Any planned or other changes in the jobsite utilization program as previously established.
3. Jobsite housekeeping and cleanup status; protection, safety, and security.
4. Review of stored materials and equipment.
5. Review of past or upcoming hot work, and the handling of burning and welding equipment. Review of hot work permit requirements.
6. Review of temporary power and maintenance, and any necessary corrections or upcoming changes.
7. Review of temporary heat and temporary fuel requirements and handling.
8. Review of all safety performances throughout the project.

Consider combining this meeting with a Tailgate Safety Meeting as described in the following section. You already have everyone’s attention; use it.
