Mini Training Sessions for Injury Prevention
Quick Takes on Safety:
- Are scripts that serve as short safety talks to remind staff about safe work practices.
- Help keep safety in the forefront of employees’ mind.
- Demonstrate a commitment to safety on the part of the organization by improving safety culture.
- Offers an opportunity for employees to ask questions, discuss safety topics and develop solutions to specific hazards while encouraging communication.
Supervisors typically give the Quick Takes on Safety during regularly scheduled or informal meetings. To improve their effectiveness as a training tool, all Quick Takes should be modified to reflect the needs and situations of your specific workplace. Quick Takes are not designed to take the place of regular formal training. All Quick Takes include session overview and objectives, script, session planning and review, attendance record and employee handout.
