Weekly toolbox safety talks are a common way to remind workers about safety procedures and to address concerns. But safety should be an everyday topic. When foremen gather workers at the beginning of a shift to talk about the day’s work, they should review the hazards involved and the safety controls, and make sure that the workers have the right protective gear and that all safety concerns are addressed. If the job changes during the day, construction managers or contractors should review the changes in terms of safety. Weekly meetings with superintendents and subcontractor field management personnel to discuss production-related topics should include a review of any accidents, near misses or safety lapses as well as safety issues related to the coming work. Regular, planned field safety inspections can help solve a host of issues while also improving safety. Regular inspections are probably the most effective management tool for dealing with the basic root causes of accidents, such as worn equipment, misplaced tools or equipment or unsafe actions by workers.
