These behavior-related safety talks are great to share as part of your next safety meeting with your work crews. These talks are also useful to incorporate as part of a longer safety meeting or safety presentation. Many companies use behavior-based safety in some capacity and these talks can pass along a message that incorporates some of the principles from behavior-based safety.
When completing safety or toolbox talks think outside of the box instead of just doing another run of the mill “slip, trip, and fall” talk or any topic that has been heard over and over by employees. These behavioral talks can give employees a new perspective on how they should approach their work. More importantly, many of these talks dive into the WHY of workplace safety.
