[Updated 2023] Top 15 PowerPoint Templates to Improve Work Safety

Kritika Saini

1974: The Flixborough disaster, UK’s worst industrial accident. The explosion at the chemical plant killed 28 workers in North Lincolnshire. Almost all the buildings in the neighborhood flattened, further injuring 36 people due to the blast. Multiple investigations exposed that the plant was hastily executed with certain modifications that forged the leak of liquid from one of the plant’s reactors. This led to the creation of flammable hydrocarbons that eventually exploded. 

1984 : Bhopal gas tragedy, one of the worst industrial accidents in India. Due to the negligence of 7 employees, more than 5 lakh people were exposed to the lethal methyl isocyanate. About 3,787 people died the same night, and further 8,000 people passed away as a result of the exposure subsequently. 

2013: West Fertilizer Company explosion. A routine fire in Texas turned into a local disaster when the fertilizer stored on the site exploded. 12 firefighters and 3 civilians were killed, a majority of them were trying to bring the flare under control. Further, 160 people were injured and around 150 buildings collapsed due to the blast. Later, an investigation revealed that the company had been illegally storing 55 tons of ammonium nitrate on-site, along with a further 55 tons of anhydrous ammonia. 

Whether as a result of the disasters mentioned above or on an individual basis, workplace accidents have the potential to alter ordinary people’s lives. An estimate of 2 million men and women die every year due to work-related accidents and diseases. Thus, the spotlight is on the importance of safer design and construction of workplaces; maintenance of site safety; dangers posed to public members, and adherence to legal guidelines for secure storage of dangerous materials. 

No business wants their employees to get hurt on the job. Therefore, employers are obliged to provide a safe working environment for their workers. But for those of you who haven’t dealt with safety, let us first understand its meaning. 

The gist of work safety  

Work safety is the concept that business organizations must implement to recognize hazards in the workplace. It refers to the working environment at a company encompassing the factors that impact all employees’ safety, health, and well-being. 

Despite the number of safety guidelines you set in place, it will be of no use if your employees are not aware and invested in following them. Therefore, to help you create a successful safety program, we are sharing five security tips. We have also included the top 15 meticulous work safety templates that can be used for raising awareness on safety protocols among employees. 

1. Invest in training

The primary goal of workplace safety is to prevent accidents, injuries, and illnesses that may occur on the job, and to promote a culture of health and safety within the workplace.

Workplace safety covers a broad range of topics, including but not limited to:

• Hazard identification and risk assessment: identifying potential hazards in the workplace and assessing the risks associated with them.
• Safety policies and procedures: establishing and enforcing policies and procedures to ensure workplace safety, such as emergency evacuation plans, first aid protocols, and safe work practices.
• Training and education: providing employees with the necessary knowledge and skills to work safely, including training on equipment, machinery, and hazardous materials.
• Personal protective equipment (PPE): providing employees with appropriate PPE to protect them from workplace hazards.
• Workplace design: designing workspaces and equipment to minimize the risk of accidents and injuries. Health and wellness: promoting employee health and wellness to reduce the risk of illnesses and injuries.
• Health and wellness: promoting employee health and wellness to reduce the risk of illnesses and injuries.

Overall, workplace safety is an essential aspect of any workplace, and it is the responsibility of employers and employees to ensure that safety protocols are followed and maintained to prevent accidents and injuries.

What are the 7 safety tips?

There are many safety tips that can be applied in different situations and settings, but here are seven general safety tips that can be helpful in various environments:

• Pay attention to warning signs and signals: Be aware of warning signs and signals that indicate potential hazards and follow them.
• Keep emergency exits clear: Make sure emergency exits are clearly marked and free from obstruction.
• Use personal protective equipment (PPE): Wear appropriate PPE such as helmets, goggles, gloves, and safety shoes when working with hazardous materials or equipment.
• Practice good housekeeping: Keep the workplace clean and free of clutter to reduce the risk of slips, trips, and falls.
• Follow safe work practices: Follow established safety procedures and work practices, including using proper lifting techniques and avoiding shortcuts.
• Report hazards and incidents: Report any unsafe conditions, incidents, or injuries to your supervisor or safety team immediately.
• Take care of yourself: Take care of your physical and mental health to ensure that you are alert and able to work safely. Get enough rest, eat well, and take breaks when needed.

Remember that safety is everyone's responsibility, so be aware of your surroundings, follow safety rules and guidelines, and report any hazards or incidents to ensure a safe workplace for all.

What are the three types of safety?

There are three main types of safety:

• Physical Safety: Physical safety refers to protecting people from physical harm, injury, or illness. This includes protection from hazards such as falls, burns, cuts, and other injuries that may result from workplace accidents or exposure to hazardous substances.
• Psychological Safety: Psychological safety refers to creating a work environment that is free from harassment, discrimination, and other forms of negative behavior that can affect employees' mental and emotional well-being. This includes creating a culture of respect, openness, and inclusivity.
• Cybersecurity Safety: Cybersecurity safety refers to protecting digital assets, including information, data, and systems, from unauthorized access, theft, or damage. This includes protecting against cyber threats such as hacking, viruses, and phishing scams.

All three types of safety are essential in ensuring a safe and healthy workplace for employees and protecting a company's assets and reputation.

How to Give an Unforgettable Safety Presentation

June 3, 2019 by George Robotham 2 Comments

How to Give an Unforgettable Safety Presentation (Failure is not an option)

The following has been assisted by formal learning / Education but largely represents critical reflection on the writer’s personal practice. The people who say an amount of it is based on the writer’s stuff-ups would be quite correct

• The number one thing you must do is identify your audience’s needs, the number 2 thing you must do is satisfy those needs
• “When reading your correspondence the reader must say “Wow” in the first third of the page”
• “When listening to your presentation the listener must say “Wow” within the first 3 minutes”
• Most of us are not naturally gifted speakers and need some assistance to make an impact. The following will make your presentation unforgettable-
• Do not focus on what you are going to talk about but focus on your outcomes, objectives and end results (What you have achieved for the participant)
• If you want to get exposure as a speaker volunteer
• Preparing a speech-Talk to the audience first, demonstrate an unique perspective, orientate to the future, be provocative , use relevant aids, let your audience know you have done your homework

Getting relevant input for your speech, ask 3 questions-

• What is the biggest challenge you are facing in your job?
• If you could change just one thing tomorrow what would that be?
• What advice would you like to give a new person in your job?
• Preparing a speech-Outcomes, time frame & requirements, key learning points, rough draft, supporting stories, aids and examples, build the opening and conclusion ,practice the speed and adjust the timing.
• Need to define and articulate how you will improve the participants condition.
• .The key to a successful presentation is identifying and meeting the needs of your audience. You need to define your objectives and the desired outcomes.
• Have a variety of presentation styles to cope with differing learning styles.
• It helps to appeal to your audiences emotions-Power, pride, courage, self interest, convention, posterity, sociability
• Use clear, simple messages
• Good visual aids are clear, simple, original, easy to see, easy to grasp, stimulating, creative, reinforce your messages
• Good messages will trigger an emotional response
• Use facts to support your message but do not use facts as the message
• Super prepare for an important presentation, particularly rehearse your opening & conclusion so it comes out strong & clear
• Sometimes some comment on why you are qualified to talk on this topic is appropriate
• At the beginning tell them what you are going to do and how you will do it.
• Research the topic thoroughly bearing in mind that not everything you find on the internet will be credible. As well as looking at the theory it helps to talk to people who have practically implemented strategies.
• Throw in a bit of humour
• Have an interesting anecdote that touches the emotions of my audience. The following is something that got me a lot of applause with a Canadian audience on a talk about safety
• Hold up an Australian $ 100 note (worth about $95 Canadian)
• “Who would like me to give you this $ 100 note?
• Show of hands
• Crumple it up
• Who would like me to give you this $ 100 note?
• Stand on it, jump on it and grind it into the ground
• That right, it still has value despite what has been done to it and many people want it
• YOU are like this $ 100 note, throughout your life trying to improve safety there will be many people who put you down and try to grind you into the dirt
• Remember that YOU, like the $ 100 note still have value despite what others have tried to do to you and many people will want you.”
• Note The storey above is adaptable to a wide range of situations with a bit of thought and adaptation
• Know your audience, know their needs and fill those needs
• Have a strong opening and conclusion
• Make a conscious effort to slow down your speech to slightly slower than normal conversation
• Use a few Power-Points but not “Death by Power-Point”. Make the size of the font readable down the back of the room. A lot of people get annoyed if you stand in front of them and read out what they can easily see on the screen. A bit of clip art and colour helps to liven up the power-points. Leave your power-points on screen long enough to be read.
• Try to build in a range of activities for the participants that reinforce your message. A controversial question for discussion is sometimes useful
• Rehearse your presentation sufficiently that you do not have to refer to your notes too often, you thus maintain eye contact with your audience.
• Make it fun not hard work
• Treat your audience with respect
• Do not try to cram too much information into too short a time frame, people will become overloaded & give up. Concentrate on the MUST KNOWS
• Have learning objectives and plan to meet those objectives
• Avoid lecture style presentations where you read from your notes unless the presentation is very short, suggest a maximum of 5 minutes. Instead prepare speakers notes ( big enough for you to read them in poor light) with key points and talk to the key points, this will require a bit of rehearsal. Alternatively use the key points on your power point presentation as your notes, pays to have the hard copy notes as a back up just in case for a number of reasons that could crop up when you rely on technology, you cannot use the power-points.
• Sometimes a “Where to from here” is appropriate at the end
• If time permits encourage questions
• Always pilot your presentation and react to comments
• The idea is for the audience to get lost in the topic, give them word pictures they can relate to
• Give something of yourself eg. a personal storey, to build rapport with the audience
• Focus on audience needs and use words appropriate to those needs
• Always identify the range of the audience and target your presentation appropriately
• Identify the purpose of the presentation and the one, single message you want to transmit. Paint a picture to give the message
• A good approach is to make a point and then tell a storey about that point or tell a storey to make a point. Indigenous people are good storey tellers and this is a powerful technique.
• Use pauses and silence to emphasise points
• Have links between sections so audience can see where you are going
• If you have practical exercises that require participants to give feedback have a roving microphone person.
• Check out the venue beforehand in case any adjustments to your presentation are required.
• Try to get the audience close to you.
• Go along and see learn how the professional speakers do it-For me Laurie Lawrence, Nick Farr-Jones and General Norman Schwarzkopf were fantastic and could be learnt from.
• The presentations that seem so easy and natural only got that way through lots of work, rehearsal and preparation.
• Do not be surprised that you have to spend 5-10 times in preparation as presentation.

The Use of Humour

• Laughter is the best medicine!
• Much is written about the benefits of humour, you can look it up on the internet if you like. I will not mention this here as I am sure you will have a good intuitive idea of what I am talking about.
• In the days when I used to work in the mining industry I remember being in a meeting in Rockhampton about a series of personal damage occurrences (“Accidents”) that had occurred. Two representatives of the company that manufactured the equipment involved were in attendance along with a number of industry Safety Advisers. The manufacturer representatives would not acknowledge that the design of their equipment was a factor and were spinning us their company line about how safe their equipment was. Tempers progressively got more frayed and we were getting nowhere. My workmate Terry Condon came out with a classic, humorous one-liner that defused the tension and set the scene for meaningful progress.
• That was the first time I have seen humour used in a meaningful way in business. I watched Terry in action after this and noted his frequent effective use of humour.
• Humour can be used effectively in formal and informal presentations and in general interaction in business and non-business life.
• Avoid humour that focuses on religion, politics, race, class, sex, age, physical appearance. To use any of these will run the risk of upsetting someone. I hear you asking what the hell else is there that I can use? The only safe butt of your humour is yourself! You can also use mythical people whose characteristics you do not describe.
• There are joke books you can buy but storeys from daily life are more acceptable.
• Be funny early and often.
• Introduce the humour in the general flow of your conversation.
• For a major presentation rehearse and listen to yourself on a tape recorder.
• Like many things in life humour follows the 6 P rule-Prior Preparation Prevents Piss-Poor Performance.
• If giving a major presentation have a small pilot first and respond to the comments you receive.
• Try to use humour that relates to things others see as an annoyance.
• Know your audience and try to relate to them.
• Quotations from famous people are often sources of humour, you can search these on the internet, Laurie Lawrence’s web-site has a lot of quotations.
• Stretching the truth is forgivable.
• Do not take yourself too seriously.
• You can use a storey to illustrate a point.
• The Readers Digest and t.v. comedy shows are good sources of material. It also helps you to observe how the professionals use humour.
• Poking fun at the establishment may be an appropriate and inoffensive way of using humour.
• Appropriate self-disclosure can be an effective way of enhancing communications and interpersonal relationships. I was introduced to and practised appropriate self-disclosure in a Psychology subject. You will find in a new relationship if you reveal a little bit of you (provided it is appropriate)the other party will reveal a little bit of them(provided it is appropriate), if you then reveal a little bit more of you(provided it is appropriate) they will reveal a little bit more of them (provided it is appropriate), and so the cycle goes on. This is very simple, incredibly effective and I use it all the time to build relationships. Of course if you really hang all your dirty washing out it will probably stuff up the process.
• Telling a humorous storey about yourself can be a great way of starting the appropriate self-disclosure process. If you show you are prepared to pile crap on yourself it will influence how you and your message are perceived.
• Being an OHS person I attend a number of safety conferences and courses, these are inevitably dull, dry and boring affairs. It is a pity things are taken so seriously! Perhaps the same thing happens in your speciality? If you are a presenter who uses effective humour, presents well and has a relevant message you will be invited back.

But that’s where short workplace safety topics come into play. With the right resources, they can be conducted several times throughout the week and last about 10-15 minutes. That’s enough to keep safety knowledge fresh on everyone’s mind and build the foundation of a strong health and safety culture. A culture in which your entire workforce is engaged and invested. 

All great except… There is one challenge here. Quick safety talks can actually be more work because of the limited time. As Mark Twain famously said,

“I didn’t have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead.” Mark Twain

So, how do you make a short safety talk count? 

The Short Safety Talks Secret: How to Effectively Communicate Workplace Safety Practices In Minutes 

Good news! With the abundance of short safety topics that the Internet has to offer, you have just about enough resources to make even a 2-minute safety talk effective.

But before we get to the downloadable toolbox talk templates, here are a few tips on communicating safety best practices:

• Tell a story . According to cognitive psychologist Jerome Bruner, we are 22 times more likely to remember facts when they are presented through a story. Another study suggests that “telling stories when communicating can make the speaker appear more warm and trustworthy, as opposed to speaking some other way, such as providing only statistics and figures”.
• Stay focused on your topic . Yes, there are probably dozens of related things that you want to say. And they all seem important. But, if you want your safety talk to stick, you have to remain laser-focused on one specific topic.
• 5-10 slides max . You’ll probably want to keep a slide for about a minute. Keeping slide count smaller enables you to keep your toolbox talk short, too.

Flu and Covid Toolbox Talks and Safety Moments 

Given the current situation, it’s important to cover this particular safety topic in a bit more detail. Besides, speaking to your workforce about the risks presented by COVID-19, and how you can mitigate them, is a great topic for a quick, 5-minute safety topic. 

Here are some of the points you can cover within this particular topic:

• Social distancing
• The importance of wearing a mask
• The main COVID-19 and flu symptoms
• What to do if you show any COVID-19 symptoms
• How often you should use hand sanitizer
• The best way to wash your hands
• Understanding the risks (including any key risks for your particular type of work)
• The current situation in the USA (legislation, statistics and changes)
• Examples of small changes that you can make to ensure your work practice is as safe as possible

You can pick and choose from any of these topics and adapt your safety discussions accordingly to best suit your workforce. As you can see, short safety talks are ideal for covering a health and safety concern of this kind in a way that is efficient, informative and as useful as possible for your workforce. 

How Should You Document Safety Toolbox Topics?

Different document types have their own strengths and weaknesses. So, it’s worth considering what would be the right format to deliver your chosen topic. 

In the table below, we’ve listed the document types that you can typically use, alongside their plus points and drawbacks.

How Often Should You Conduct Safety Talks? 

In an ideal world, safety talks should take place daily. But this may be an unrealistic goal due to a Safety manager’s ever-increasing responsibilities. So, a good aim would be 3-5 short workplace safety topics a week. If your team is going through a busy period, you can also decide cut down the time that these talks last for. You can always find the time for a super quick 1-minute safety topic.

Where Should Safety Talks Be Conducted?

You should base these safety minutes in a place where everyone feels at-ease, while still firmly focused on what you’re saying. With this in mind, you could choose to have your next safety talk take place in a comfortable meeting room, a break room, or even the work area itself. 

You don’t need to have a fixed location for these talks, either. The aim is to make them feel more informal and personal than a typical meeting. You can pick the location with the topic in mind. For example, if you’re talking about food allergies, the break room would make the message of your talk directly applicable to the day-to-day activities of your workers. 

What Else Can You Do to Have a Better Safety Meeting?

Getting workers to listen for the entire duration of the talk is a challenge in itself. Not to mention getting them to actively relate to and understand the topic and then being able to apply the message to their own workplace behaviors.

To make your talk more engaging, try to interact with your audience directly. Encourage their participation, questions and feedback. Show them that this is not a lecture; it is a dynamic conversation that is taking place between the team as a whole. This way, you are helping to create a team that places the highest importance on keeping their operations as safe as possible.

Who Should Present a Safety Talk?

Normally, this would be the job of the team’s EHS manager. The presenter should be the individual who reports any incidents to OSHA. This way, it is the team member who is most well-versed in these topics who is delivering the content. 

Does OSHA Require Toolbox Talks?

No. These talks are not a legal requirement of OSHA. The agency does not have a fixed standard in which safety training information needs to be communicated to a workforce. However, toolbox talks are a highly recommended way to advance your workplace’s health and safety beyond the bare minimum. Plus, the flexibility of these talks allows you to branch out beyond the topics that OSHA requires you to cover. 

By incorporating regular safety talks into your workplace routines, you are putting your workforce in the best position to minimize preventable workplace accidents. Dedicating just a couple of minutes each day to a short safety moment will ensure maximum engagement in the topics being covered. 

Also, these short safety topics for work help your team’s attitude towards health and safety and help improve your safety culture overall. This is far more intuitive and considerate than what could be achieved by a long meeting spent reading from a binder.

What Are Workplace Safety Talks?

Safety talks are short safety messages for the members of a work crew prior to work beginning. These talks can be as short as a few minutes or longer than 20 minutes. On average, they are in the range of 5 or 10 minutes long in duration at most companies when conducted often. The talks can cover a range of topics or just a single focal point.

Below are answers to some other common questions individuals may have about conducting these types of talks for their work crews.

$MMT = window.$MMT || {}; $MMT.cmd = $MMT.cmd || [];$MMT.cmd.push(function(){ $MMT.display.slots.push(["57a88d0a-5ddd-4a6a-93de-ba5c49768835"]); })

What are other names for these meetings.

There are many names for safety talks. Some of the more common names are safety toolbox talks, toolbox talks, safety moments, safety briefings, safety pep talks, and tailgate meetings. For the most part, many of these names represent the same thing. However, there can be slight differences between companies or industries.

These meetings, no matter what they are called, are the safety message of the day for a work crew prior to the start of the day.

Providing a Safety Moment of the Day

When done correctly, these talks can have a profound effect on the overall safety program at a workplace. Companies that spend time holding these meetings are less likely to have injuries compared to a company that does not hold them on a regular basis.

Conducting meetings often is an effective way to deliver relevant and timely safety messages to an entire work crew. The time spent conducting these talks also goes a long way toward reinforcing prior training efforts.

Even just holding a 5-minute meeting every day equates to a massive amount of knowledge for your workforce over a year’s time. To be exact- it results in over 20 hours of education per employee a year! (5 minutes X 5 workdays per week X 50 work weeks= 1250 minutes… 1250 minutes/60 minutes per hour= 20.8 hours of education) Imagine the difference that education can make if you make the most out of every talk!

What Topics Should You Cover for These Safety Talks?

The topic or topics you should cover for the next safety toolbox talk will vary greatly from what topic(s) another company should be discussing. Some general questions you can ask yourself to narrow in on some topics:

• What training needs to be reinforced?
• What problems have we been having lately?
• What are common injuries in this line of work?
• What have our near misses been a result of?
• What trends are occurring in the workplace or in our industry?

There are many other questions or guidelines you can use to determine what topics or topics you should cover. Keep topics useful, relevant, and timely.

Where Can I Find Free Safety Topics Online in 2023? 

This site has one of the largest libraries of free topics found online today. That being said, there are also a number of great resources online to find topics for your next safety meeting. One of our favorite resources for topics is on OSHA’s website. They have a page called Safety and Health Topics that has a large list of high-quality topics.

Some other high-quality and reputable sources for toolbox talks or materials to support talks:

• Mine Health and Safety Administration
• Center for Disease Control
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
• Bureau of Labor Statistics

Who Should Deliver a Safety Talk?

The person who is directing the work should be the one responsible for conducting or leading the safety talk. The responsibility at many companies, however, falls onto the safety officer or EHS manager instead. The reason for having the individual who is directing the work lead the talk is to show support for the message and efforts to work safely.

If it is constantly the EHS department’s responsibility to present, then employees can be led to believe that the frontline supervisors or managers do not truly support safety. If the workers’ supervisors or managers are not participating in the safety efforts, why should they?

The EHS department should instead serve more of an advisory role to the supervisor conducting the talk. They can provide the supervisor with topics, materials, or information for the talk, as well as chime in as needed to add value.

Do not be afraid to offer employees the chance to present at a meeting. While most employees would never choose to present a topic, you may be surprised to find that many would if given the chance.

How Often Should You Conduct Safety Talks?

There is no short and dry answer to how often your company should be conducting these talks. Some companies do multiple talks daily, and other companies may only do them monthly. A monthly schedule is probably way too sparingly for most companies, and two talks a day may be too often for others.

Companies often settle on conducting daily or weekly talks. At many companies, daily safety meetings prior to work beginning is an appropriate practice. Holding meetings that often may not make sense for all operations, however.

As mentioned earlier, these talks do not have to be extremely long. A lot of value can be added in a short amount of time if the talks are completed often. Employees are more likely to take more away from these talks if they are shorter in duration but are more frequent compared to longer meetings that occur infrequently.

Where Should Safety Talks Be Conducted?

These talks should be held in a place where employees are comfortable and can focus. Meeting rooms or break rooms are common areas where companies choose to hold their safety meetings. Another setting that can be even more effective is the work area(s) themselves.

This should only be done if the work area is comfortable, safe, and convenient for all involved in the talk. Conducting the talk in the work area itself can help employees visualize the information being conveyed, as well as allow the presenter to point out specific examples of what they are discussing.

If holding it in the work area is not an option, pictures or maps of the worksite can be great tools so that employees can visualize what is being said.

What Else Can You Do to Have a Better Safety Meeting or Safety Moment?

There are many things you can do to hold a better meeting. Below are a few quick tips that have not already been mentioned in this post:

• Prepare ahead of time.
• Keep topics relevant and timely to the audience.
• Only take the time necessary to cover the topic; do not drag it out.
• Do not read the talk word for word from the paper.
• Get the audience involved by asking for stories or examples relating to the topic.
• Use visual aids as needed to help get your message across.
• Have fun- don’t take yourself so seriously!

Does OSHA Require Safety Toolbox Talks?

While OSHA does not specifically require a company to hold safety talks or toolbox talks in any of their standards, doing so can play a part in helping to ensure compliance with some standards. For example, OSHA requires that employers make employees aware of the hazards of the work that they do and how to eliminate them.

One specific example of this is found in the construction standard under 1926.21(b)(2), where OSHA states: “The employer shall instruct each employee in the recognition and avoidance of unsafe conditions and the regulations applicable to his work environment to control or eliminate any hazards or other exposure to illness or injury.”

While training will be a large part of ensuring compliance with this specific regulation, safety toolbox talks are also a way to help to ensure compliance. These talks need to have the correct documentation to do so.

How Should You Document Safety Toolbox Talks?

Without documenting these efforts, there is no actual proof they were done. Meaning there is nothing to show OSHA or someone in your company in response to whether or not you were educating your employees on the hazards involved in their work. A lack of documentation can be problematic.

Every time a talk is conducted, a sign-in sheet should be completed by the presenter and signed by everyone present for the meeting. Some guidelines for documentation:

• Include the date and time.
• Include the presenter(s) name(s).
• Have everyone sign the sheet.
• Be detailed about what topics were discussed.
• Attach any materials used for the talk to the sign-in sheet.
• File documentation in chronological order so they can be easily found to be reviewed if needed.

The answers to the who, what, when, why, and how of safety talks can be as long of a list as the possible topics you could cover in your next meeting. The bottom line is your company should be conducting these talks on a regular basis as well as giving thought on how to continually improve on giving them. Use some of the insight here and tailor it to your company’s needs.

32 Short Safety Talks: Topics & Ideas to Boost Engagement

Leaving conversations about safety to quarterly meetings and occasional safety training means safety skills and awareness atrophy over time. Want a way to refresh critical concepts without losing everyone’s attention? We have you covered with safety-in-the-workplace topics.

• What Are Safety Talks?
• How to Make Safety Talks More Engaging

32 Safety Talk Topics

No matter what kind of work you do, it’s easy to become complacent, especially if you’ve spent most of your days performing familiar tasks on repeat. It can be tempting to cut corners and forego best practices in the interest of time, productivity, and effort. If you find yourself going down this path, be wary because skipping steps and ignoring rules could result in an avoidable emergency.

One way to prevent these lapses and complacency among your team is to use short safety talks to remind everyone of proper procedures and prepare them for new hazards and variables they’ll encounter during the workday.

Safety Meeting Toolkit

What are safety talks in the workplace.

Workplace safety talks are short, digestible, pre-work meetings about a particular safety topic that informs the work people are doing that day. These talks are most effective when kept short, focused, and memorable so workers can easily apply the advice right away and recall it over the long term.

Sometimes known as “safety toolbox talks,” “safety briefings,” or “ safety moments ,” safety talks can cover any number of topics as long as they’re related to worker and workplace safety.

How to Make Short Safety Talks Engaging and Effective

Safety leaders tasked with devising short safety talks tend to focus entirely on the talk’s content, ignoring its form. They may even forget that it’s their responsibility to engage people so they’ll absorb the information and be ready to put it to use.

Consider ways to maintain safety engagement and interest in your content. This is partly about what not to do: For example, an uber-professional tone could work against you. Your safety talks won’t do much good if your audience falls asleep two minutes in. It’s also about active strategies to get people involved in the discussion and to get them to buy into the significance of their everyday safety efforts.

Ask questions

One of the main reasons people ignore meetings is that they believe it’s a waste of time because they won’t learn anything new. This can become a self-fulfilling prophecy; if they don’t think they’re going to learn anything new, they’re going to check out and miss the important information.

Counter this tendency by asking questions. When people realize they have an opportunity to speak their minds, they’re much more likely to become personally invested in the topic at hand. These questions shouldn’t put people in the hot seat but, rather, allow your frontline workers to give feedback.

Inject some humanity

When talking about safety practices, many speakers tend to become very formal and clinical in their language because they want to convey the seriousness of the topic and avoid distractions. Unfortunately, this can lead to disengagement, making your presentation ineffective.

Bring some color to these talks with visual aids, humor, and analogies, keeping your people awake and receptive to the safety talk topic.

Reward engagement

It might sound diminutive, but who doesn’t like a mini candy bar? Try tossing some rewards out for those who engage in the talks by asking poignant questions, helping others understand, or adding their own thoughts. Gift cards or other incentives work equally well.

Watch this video to learn the fundamentals of compelling safety talks, discover new topic ideas, and get facilitation tips.

Pro Tip: Keep a running list of safety-in-the-workplace topics. With it, you can not only prepare for upcoming safety talks but also integrate those meeting topics with broader emergency planning and preparedness efforts and involve various stakeholders. You can use the Topics Sheet from the Safety Meeting Toolkit to keep track of the topics you’ve gone through and what to cover next.

The safety messages you incorporate in your safety talks and training sessions should be inspired by your work objectives and conditions. However, if you’re looking for some ideas to get you started, here are our suggestions.

External Hazards

“The world is changing very, very fast…to be as flexible as possible–that’s what we’re doing every day.”

— Helmut Spahn , Director of Safety, FIFA

1. Electrical safety

Improper electrical distribution is a deadly hazard in the workplace. Electrocutions are one of the most common causes of injuries and fatalities on construction sites , and daisy-chained extension cords and power strips are a disturbingly common fire safety hazard. Promote fire prevention and avert workplace injuries by inspiring everyday accountability for safe electrical setup and operation.

2. Hot work safety

Heat stress prevention is key in many fields, especially those that require outdoor work during the summer months. It’s so important that OSHA is working on official regulations to require heat safety measures from many employers.

3. Cold work safety

Cold weather can be deadly when preparedness efforts fall short. Share cold-weather safety tips with your team before a day of working in the cold, and set them up with a buddy system so all workers have someone who can look after them.

4. Defensive driving

Workers who commute or those who drive for work can be faced with unpredictable dangers on the road. It’s your duty to provide for their safety while they’re on the road. Defensive driving skills are one of the best ways to make sure your team members get to their destinations safely.

5. Anti-phishing awareness

Phishing attacks—where bad actors send fake messages claiming to be someone else to gain access to restricted systems or resources—have increased year over year . These aren’t “hacks” in the traditional sense. They rely on basic social manipulation, not crafty coding or software vulnerabilities. Reminding workers how to spot phishing attacks can save your organization a lot of time, money, and trouble.

6. Active shooter awareness

While active shooter events are rare, they are becoming a greater strain on Americans’ mental health. Hold a safety meeting to go over your active shooter response plan , and reassure employees you’re looking out for their safety.

Individual Safety

“Safety is way more than compliance…it’s a moral imperative that we send people home to their loved ones.”

— Scott Gerard , VP of Environmental Health and Safety at Moss Construction

7. Personal protective equipment (PPE) review

Just as flight attendants remind passengers of the proper use of seatbelts, life jackets, and oxygen masks before every flight, you need to remind workers of the proper use of their PPE and safety gear so they’re more confident relying on it during an emergency. Common PPE—hard hats, safety glasses, respirators, fall protection harnesses, and high-visibility vests—could be the things that prevent serious injuries or death.

8. Particulate matter safety

Depending on the job site, small bits of liquid or solid material can be suspended in the air, which can wreak havoc on human bodies if inhaled. Some of these materials, like asbestos, are particularly dangerous. Use a safety topic of the day to remind everyone about signs of hazardous substance exposure and why PPE is important in these situations.

9. Tool safety

Some power tools and hand tools, from nail guns to chainsaws, have a natural level of risk associated with their use. You can gather your team at the beginning of a workday to remind them of the safety protocols for a particular tool and reduce those risks.

10. Personal health

An employee’s health is usually impacted by their private life more than it is by their work environment. Taking time to encourage healthy sleep and exercise habits, as well as attending annual medical check-ups, can help keep your workforce in peak condition.

11. Office ergonomics

Office workers might assume they don’t face any workplace hazards, but ergonomics should not be underestimated. Poor posture, inconveniently sized equipment, and other ergonomic problems can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome, joint pain, and other safety concerns. The work should fit the worker, not the other way around. Remember to include remote workers in these talks as well.

12. Proper lifting techniques

We’ve all been there—we go to pick something up and underestimate its weight. When workers bend at the waist to lift, they risk seriously injuring their backs. Prevent these avoidable injuries by teaching proper lifting techniques as a quick safety topic.

13. Mental health & well-being

Mental health and well-being have increasingly become areas of focus across demographics, and this holds true in the workplace . Worsened by the isolation, loneliness, and despair many felt during the height of the COVID pandemic, people’s mental health is at serious risk. Show your employees you care and are there to offer resources and support.

14. Hearing protection

Exposure to noise levels above 85 decibels (roughly the volume of an electric blender) can cause permanent damage to workers’ hearing. And while OSHA requires organizations to provide hearing protection equipment, a safety talk about why they’re necessary and how to use them properly ensures workers are prepared to prevent injuries.

15. Substance abuse

Substance abuse has increased in recent years. If someone is under the influence on the job, the likelihood of an accident skyrockets. Show employees how to recognize signs that a coworker is struggling, and offer treatment and support resources to those dealing with drug and alcohol use disorders.

16. Hydration

No matter what kind of work you do, no matter where you do it, there’s always one thing your people absolutely need: water. Make sure everyone knows where they can find cool water and that they have the right (and the responsibility) to take regular breaks for water.

17. First aid refresher

First aid training is too detailed and intensive to perform during a 5-minute safety talk, but those few minutes are enough to fortify first aid skills among your employees. Potential areas of focus include a reminder of where all first aid equipment is located, the signs of a stroke, or an overview of the proper CPR compression technique.

Safety Administration

“Part of being an effective emergency manager…is helping [workers] understand why it’s important to plan.”

— Jeffrey Trask , Risk Manager at ISO New England

18. Communication review

Even if you have the best emergency notification system , good message templates, and an awesome reporting workflow, your hazard communication efforts will fall flat if employees aren’t reading the messages. Take some time to remind everyone how these notifications work, where they come from, and what to expect. You can also confirm all employees’ contact information as a follow-up action item.

You can use the Follow-Up template from the Safety Meetings Toolkit to communicate after your safety talks.

19. Accident reporting

While you can do a lot to make accidents less common, it’s very difficult to eliminate them entirely. While you work toward that goal, consider a short safety talk to review standards, rigorous accident reporting procedures, and after-action reports. These will help prevent similar accidents or near misses in the future.

20. Importance of work stoppages

Some emergencies are made much worse by the “bystander effect.” When a worker feels that they don’t have the authority to stop an unsafe activity, they likely won’t step in when something goes wrong. They might instead opt to wait for a supervisor to make the call—but during an emergency, seconds matter. Hold a meeting to make sure everyone knows that they are within their right to stop any dangerous work and will not be penalized for doing so.

21. Safety culture

Your organization’s safety culture is the aggregate of attitudes, behaviors, and practices regarding safety. It’s key to developing a safe, productive, and caring workplace, but it can only be accomplished with continuous effort. Morning safety talks can keep up your momentum in prioritizing safety first.

22. Workplace access protocol

Who’s allowed on the work site? Who isn’t? What about clients, vendors, and guests? Take a moment to remind your team about proper access control, such as not holding the door open.

23. Labeling potential hazards

Labels for potential hazards like slippery floors or unexpected steps can go a long way in keeping everyone aware and decreasing slip, trip, and fall accidents. Some workplaces may also have dangerous chemicals or zones that are unsafe to enter when equipment is turned on, and warning labels can promote situational awareness.

General Safety

“If workers aren’t following specific protocols, very drastic things can happen not only to them but to their coworkers.”

— Diana Warden , Director of Safety and Security at the Dallas Zoo

24. Situational awareness

No matter the environment and type of work, situational awareness is perhaps the single most significant habit that can keep employees safe. Hold a short safety talk to gauge how situationally aware your employees are. This evaluation will help you plan for more in-depth training to guide them in increasing awareness of risks they may face.

25. Ladder safety

There’s a reason ladders are associated with bad luck: They’re a deceptively deadly tool we frequently rely on. Proper ladder setup, use, and oversight can avoid painful and costly mistakes.

26. Forklift safety

Working with heavy machinery, including forklifts, can be dangerous without the proper training. Safety talks about safe forklift driving and handling are critical for those working with or even near these tools.

27. Workplace violence

Workplace violence is increasingly common, particularly in service industries and healthcare. Talk with your employees about the types of workplace violence , warning signs, and prevention steps they can take, including how to identify and report potential violence through an open, non-punitive channel.

28. Emergency exits

Every indoor workspace should have clearly marked emergency exits as part of a fire evacuation plan . That plan requires you to regularly review these emergency exit routes with your team, especially if you’re working in a new, unfamiliar location or in case one or more exits become blocked in an emergency.

29. Heavy vehicle safety

Heavy vehicles—such as forklifts, trucks, cranes, and other heavy-duty machines—have the potential to cause damage to people and property. Make sure all workers are aware of the dangers and how to keep themselves and others out of harm’s way.

30. Fire extinguisher use

Portable fire extinguishers are ubiquitous and extremely effective at protecting people and property from fire damage but only if they’re used properly. When holding a short fire safety talk about correct fire extinguisher use, try turning it into a game to see who has the best fire extinguisher aim.

31. Confined space awareness

Some confined spaces have respiratory hazards, engulfment hazards, electrical dangers, or any number of factors that make them more dangerous than your average crawlspace. These are often restricted by posted signage. Make sure your team knows who is and isn’t permitted in these spaces and what the signage looks like. Trenching work, pipework, and other assignments are associated with these risks.

32. Carbon monoxide safety

Dubbed the “silent killer” because it’s undetectable by humans, carbon monoxide is deadly and you must monitor for it, especially in the presence of flammable gasses, exhaust, and heaters. Ensure your employees know the signs of carbon monoxide poisoning and how to double-check that CO monitors are working properly.

Every Day Can Be a Safe Day

Carving out small chunks of time to regularly review digestible safety topics goes far beyond just preparing your employees for individual hazards. By making these short safety talks a familiar fixture of everyone’s days, you ingrain the idea that safety is always the number one priority. But it’s not safe for safety’s sake—it’s expressly to protect your business, its operations, and its people so everyone can work confidently, without disruptions.

Perspective Therapeutics to Present at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) Annual Meeting 2024

SEATTLE, May 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Perspective Therapeutics, Inc. ("Perspective" or "the Company") (NYSE AMERICAN: CATX), a radiopharmaceutical company that is pioneering advanced treatment applications for cancers throughout the body, today announced the Company will present information pertaining to the Company's sponsored studies of its assets at the Society of Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging ("SNMMI") Annual Meeting 2024, which is being held in Toronto, Canada, from June 8-11, 2024. The Company notes that results based on investigator-initiated use of its assets are also being presented.  

"We are greatly encouraged by the progress of our clinical and preclinical programs," said Thijs Spoor, CEO of Perspective. "The upcoming presentations at the SNMMI meeting will showcase our activities with VMT-α-NET and other promising therapies, underlining our commitment to advancing care for patients battling challenging tumor types."

[ 212 Pb]VMT-α-NET for the Treatment of Neuroendocrine Tumors The abstract describing Perspective's trial in progress of the Phase 1/2a dose escalation study (NCT05636618) in patients with unresectable or metastatic somatostatin receptor type 2 ("SSTR2")-positive neuroendocrine tumors ("NETs") who have not received prior peptide receptor radionuclide therapies ("PRRT") stated the trial's status as of January 15, 2024, consistent with the abstract submission deadline for the SNMMI conference. Updates on this trial as of March 7, 2024 were provided during the Company's investor update on March 18, 2024, accessible on the events page of the Company's website. This study, in conjunction with the Phase 0 imaging study (NCT05111509), would inform the recommended Phase 2 dose of [ 212 Pb]VMT-α-NET.

Perspective, in collaborating independent investigators, is evaluating dosimetry and the applicability of patient-specific dosing as determined by a target renal absorbed dose for [ 212 Pb]VMT-α-NET. An abstract reported pooled data from ten patients recruited in the Company's sponsored Phase 0 imaging study and an investigator sponsored absorbed dose escalation study. The investigator reported [ 212 Pb]VMT-α-NET was prescribed to three patients at individualized doses of 5.3, 7.9, and 13.3 mCi (cumulatively, delivered over two cycles) while targeting renal absorbed dose of 3.5Gy. Higher levels of targeted renal absorbed doses are in the protocol for subsequent cohorts of the investigator sponsored study.

The Company has been informed that updated results from the investigator initiated trial of [ 212 Pb]VMT-α-NET in India have been accepted for presentation by the SNMMI conference. The investigator enrolled adult patients with histologically confirmed NETs and metastatic medullary thyroid carcinomas. The investigator informed the Company that the update includes results from 12 patients at a later data cutoff date than previous presentations. The most recent prior public update by the investigator was during the 36 th Annual Congress of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) in September 2023.

Preclinical Progress on Targeted Therapies for Melanoma and Tumor Environments

The Company will present preclinical data for [ 212 Pb]VMT01, a targeted α-particle radionuclide therapy (α-TRT) targeting the melanocortin 1 receptor ("MC1R"), used in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors ("ICIs") in diverse murine melanoma models with high (B16-F10), mid (YUMM-D3) and low (YUMMwt) expressions of MC1R. These data provide a rationale for advancing the combination of [ 212 Pb]VMT01 and ICIs to clinical investigations. The ongoing Phase 1/2a study of [ 212 Pb]VMT01 is being amended to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Perspective's [ 212 Pb]VMT01 in combination with the ICI nivolumab in patients with histologically confirmed melanoma and MC1R-positive imaging scans.

The final presentation will introduce [ 203/212 Pb]-PSV-359, a novel cyclic peptide developed to target fibroblast activation protein alpha ("FAP"), a protein abundantly expressed by cancer-associated fibroblasts in tumor lesions and involved in promoting disease progression. [ 203/212 Pb]-PSV-359 has a proprietary targeting moiety designed by Perspective to optimize "theranostic" applications, representing a promising avenue for addressing FAP expressing cancers regardless of disease site.

About Perspective Therapeutics, Inc. Perspective Therapeutics, Inc., is a radiopharmaceutical development company that is pioneering advanced treatment applications for cancers throughout the body. The Company has proprietary technology that utilizes the alpha emitting isotope 212 Pb to deliver powerful radiation specifically to cancer cells via specialized targeting peptides. The Company is also developing complementary imaging diagnostics that incorporate the same targeting peptides, which provide the opportunity to personalize treatment and optimize patient outcomes. This "theranostic" approach enables the ability to see the specific tumor and then treat it to potentially improve efficacy and minimize toxicity.

GenFleet Therapeutics Announces Efficacy & Safety Result from Phase II Trial for First-line NSCLC Treatment in KROCUS Study, fulzerasib (KRAS G12C Inhibitor) in Combination with cetuximab, in a Late-breaking Abstract at the Oral Presentation of 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting

PR Newswire

SHANGHAI and CHICAGO, June 1, 2024

SHANGHAI and CHICAGO, June 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- GenFleet Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotechnology company focusing on cutting-edge therapies in oncology and immunology, today announced the phase II trial data of KROCUS Study, fulzerasib (GFH925, KRAS G12C inhibitor) in combination with cetuximab for first-line non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment，at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting.

The preliminary result of the trial was accepted as a late-breaking abstract and selected for oral presentation at the clinical science symposium of lung cancer treatment, highlighting the combination therapy's promising efficacy and its excellent safety/tolerability profile. Notably, this marks the first time that a KRAS G12C inhibitor is combined with an EGFR inhibitor as a first-line NSCLC treatment with its data presented at a global academic event.

The KROCUS Study, led by renowned lung cancer expert Dr. Rafael Rosell, is a European multi-center phase Ib/II study initiated in March 2023. As of April 19 this year, a total of 40 subjects were enrolled and 33 of them received at least one available post-treatment tumor assessment: the objective response rate (ORR) reached 81.8% and the disease control rate (DCR) reached 100%. The post-treatment evaluation revealed that most patients (27/33) exhibited tumor response: one patient achieved complete response; the other two achieved partial response with a shrinkage in their tumor size by 100%.

Additionally, the combination therapy demonstrated a favorable safety/tolerability profile, with both treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) and TRAEs above grade 3 occurring at a lower rate than those in the fulzerasib monotherapy study in second line and above NSCLC. The data was presented by Dr. Vanesa Gregorc from Italy's Candiolo Cancer Institute, Italy.

The new drug application for fulzerasib monotherapy in treating advanced KRAS G12C-mutant NSCLC has been accepted and granted priority review designation by China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). Based on the data presented at 2023 ESMO Asia, the registrational phase II study of GFH925 monotherapy for NSCLC showed an ORR of 46.6% and a DCR of 90.5%; the median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 8.3 months. In addition, fulzerasib monotherapy received two breakthrough designations for advanced G12C-mutant NSCLC and metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.

"I am delighted that the preliminary data of this phase II trial was selected for oral presentation at ASCO, an acknowledgement of this innovative combination therapy's potential in treating NSCLC patient in a of first-line setting. Currently, there are multiple global trials exploring the combination of KRAS G12C and EGFR inhibitors for later-line CRC. However, GenFleet is propelling the validation of this synergistic mechanism further into first-line treatment for NSCLC, the cancer type with the largest G12C-mutant patient population. We eagerly anticipate the trial's continued progress, aiming to offer more frontline options for patients worldwide. "said Dr. Rafael Rosell, the principal investigator of KROCUS study.

"The design of the KROCUS Study is based on deep research into synergistic mechanisms, animal models validation, as well as clinical data generated from the fulzerasib monotherapy in the second-line setting. We are excited to see that the preliminary data from our first-line combination study exceeding our expectation. Furthermore, this chemo- and immuno-free combination could potentially mitigate overlapped toxicities and delay drug resistance, leaving space to allow later-line immunotherapy to extend the patients' overall survival." stated by Yu Wang, M.D.,Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer of GenFleet.

KROCUS: a Phase II study investigating the efficacy and safety of fulzerasib (GFH925) in combination with cetuximab in patients with previously untreated advanced KRAS G12C mutated NSCLC Presenter: Dr. Vanesa Gregorc Abstract No. : LBA8511

A total of 40 treatment naïve advanced KRAS G12C positive NSCLC patients were treated with GFH925 in combination with cetuximab (fulzerasib 600mg BID + cetuximab 500 mg/m 2 Q2W) as of April 19, 2024. Most patients (95%) were diagnosed with stage IV disease and 13 (32.5%) patients with brain metastases.

Efficacy: As of cutoff date, of the 33 patients who received at least one post-treatment tumor assessment, investigator-assessed ORR was 81.8% (95% CI: 64.5, 93.0) and DCR was 100% (95% CI: 89.4, 100); ORR among patients with brain metastasis was 70%. The median duration of response (DoR) was not reached yet and 88% of patients were still on treatment with a median follow-up of 5.1 months.

Safety: As of cutoff date, the combination therapy was well tolerated. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 87.5% of subjects and the majority of the TRAEs were grade 1-2. About 17.5% of subjects reported grade 3 TRAEs. There were no grade 4-5 TRAEs, and no TRAEs led to treatment discontinuation. No new safety signals were identified compared with fulzerasib or cetuximab as single agent.

About KROCUS Study and fulzerasib (GFH925) The multi-center study of fulzerasib in combination with cetuximab started in scores of clinical research centers worldwide from March 2023 and sets its objectives to evaluate the safety/tolerance, efficacy and the pharmacokinetic characteristics of the combination in advanced NSCLC patients harboring KRAS G12C mutation.

Fulzerasib the first China-developed KRAS G12C inhibitor that has its NDA submission accepted and granted with Priority Review Designation by NMPA. Fulzerasib also received Breakthrough Therapy Designations this year for treating advanced KRAS G12C-mutant NSCLC patients that have received at least one systemic therapy and CRC patients who have received at least two systemic therapies.

RAS protein family can be divided into KRAS, HRAS and NRAS categories. KRAS mutations are detected in nearly 90% of pancreatic cancer, 30-40% of colon cancer, and 15-20% lung cancer patients. The occurrence of KRAS G12C mutation subset is more frequently observed than those with ALK, ROS1, RET and TRK 1/2/3 mutations combined. GFH925 is a novel, orally active, potent KRAS G12C inhibitor designed to effectively target the GTP/GDP exchange, an essential step in pathway activation, by modifying the cysteine residue of KRAS G12C protein covalently and irreversibly. Preclinical cysteine selectivity studies demonstrated high selectivity of fulzerasib towards G12C. Subsequently, fulzerasib effectively inhibits the downstream signal pathway to induce tumor cells'apoptosis and cell cycle arrest.
