Safety meetings are the right time to discuss about health and safety related matters in the workplace. Safety meetings can be held regularly or incidentally as a response on occurrence of a specific health and safety problem or after an incident or accident happens.
Ideally, safety meetings focus on just one specific topic. But, what kind of topics do we have to discuss? Here are some topics that you can use in the meeting:
- Safety policy
- Applicable safety regulations
- Compliance status on safety regulations
- New safety regulation
- Incident and accident investigation
- Safety audit findings
- OHSAS 18001 surveillance findings
- Safety patrol finding
- Personal protective equipments
- Eye protection
- Hearing protection
- Hand and foot injuries
- Risk assessment for new plant facility
- On-way traffic control in the plant site
- Pressure vessel regular testing
- Working around electricity
- Emergency response procedure
- Construction safety
- Working in a confined space
- Lockout and tagout programs
- Heat stress
- Hazards identification or recognition
- How to read Material Safety Data Sheet
- How to handle compressed gas safely
- Hazardous material preservation and handling
- Slips, trips and falls
- Near miss incident reporting
- Fire extinguisher usage
- Safety precaution in case of fire
- Maintenance of fire fighting equipments
- Safety control for the transformer yard
- Fire fighting placement and location indication
- Self-inspection system
- Chemical exposure control
- Safety training program
- Gas cylinder control and protection
- Hazardous material symbol and label implementation
- Loss control report issued by plant insurance company
- Safety work permit system
- Truck driver safety- It is better to provide a schedule for every safety meeting, especially for regular safety meeting. Don't forget to file them when you have finished using the materials. Later you will need it.
I believe the list above does not cover all the chemical plant safety related topics. Your input and feed back would be very valuable and I will add it to the list.
