Tailgate Safety Mtgs

Construction trades hold “tailgate” safety meetings weekly. Having a brief safety talk on a regular basis is essential in order to maintain a high level of safety awareness.

Tailgate discussions need only take 5 to 15 minutes to report safety hazards or to discuss other safety topics.

The supervisor or foreman in charge of safety for the company may take one of the topics, reading it for the subject of the tailgate meeting.
