Employee Safety Meetings to Raise Workplace Safety Awareness

Employee safety is a vital concern. Monthly safety meetings provide safety education and raise safety awareness. It prevents injuries. Certain training is mandated by Cal OSHA. Safety meetings ensure personnel receive that required training. All monthly safety training sessions will need to be documented, including topic, date, names of participating employees, and name of trainer. (However, they are not a substitute for specialized required training, such as forklift safety.) The programs cover a wide range of topics.

A typical year might look like this:

January	Code of Safe Practices
February	Pro-active Safety Attitudes
March	Preventing Slips and Falls
April	Personal Protective Equipment
May	Back Injury Prevention – Back Belts
June	Ergonomics
July	Bloodborne Pathogens
August	Eye and Hand Injury Prevention
September	Hazard Communication
October	Lockout-Tagout
November	Evacuation Procedures
December	Sexual Harassment
