- Topics that apply to construction, utilities, public works, warehouse/material handling, and general industrial work.
How supervisors typically use these talks

- Read the key hazards, then use the short script to guide the discussion.
- Ask the crew questions and document any job-specific controls you add.
- Use a sign-in sheet for your records.
Important note
These talks are provided for general safety meeting support and are not a substitute for site-specific training, a competent person evaluation, or your organization’s safety program. Always follow applicable policies and regulations and tailor each discussion to the work being performed.
