Monthly Safety Meetings

Everyday decisions at work can impact the life and health of others. Although standard operation procedures dictate following regulations, industrial companies need to protect their employees and their customers. With monthly safety meetings, companies can be sure they’re doing the best they can to keep everyone safe from harm and danger.

When dealing with hazardous chemicals, cleaning and decontamination of equipment, safety should be the first priority. Choosing to drive a hazmat truck faster to make sure the load arrives on time could be a safety concern. Not wearing all protective equipment during an industrial cleanup is also a huge safety concern and should not be acceptable. These are the everyday challenges the companies in our industry face.

Safety standards should be discussed at mandatory monthly safety meetings. These meetings should be a job requirement and every company employee, including team leaders and supervisors should be present. An open discussion should take place about any new or recurring safety concerns and then an action plan should be put in place moving forward.

It’s clear that no government regulation or company policy can have as much impact as a team of workers who refuse to compromise their personal safety. Every industrial company should empower their employees to actively participate in forming the safety rules – establishing monthly safety meetings will help motivate them to speak up and voice concerns from the field.
