• Prevention & Education

Personal Safety Tips

Personal safety—be prepared.

By taking a few simple precautions, you can reduce the risk to yourself and also discourage those who commit crimes.

• Always be alert and aware of the people around you.
• Educate yourself concerning prevention tactics.
• Be aware of locations and situations which would make you appear vulnerable to crime, such as alleys and dark parking lots.

Street Precautions

• Be alert to your surroundings and the people around you—especially if you are alone or it is dark.
• Whenever possible, travel with a friend.
• Stay in well-lighted areas as much as possible.
• Walk close to the curb. Avoid doorways, bushes and alleys where someone could hide.
• Walk confidently at a steady pace.
• Make eye contact with people when walking.
• Do not respond to conversation from strangers on the street—continue walking.
• If you carry a purse, carry it securely between your arm and your body. Although a purse-snatcher's intent is to steal the purse, your personal safety may depend on not clinging to it.
• Do not use or wear anything that will impede your vision or hearing (i.e. iPods).

Back to Top

• Always lock your car doors after entering or leaving your vehicle.
• Park in well-lighted areas.
• Have your car keys in your hand so you don't have to linger before entering your car.
• Check the interior of your vehicle for intruders before entering your car.
• If you think you are being followed, drive to a public place or a police or sheriff station.
• If your car breaks down, open the hood and attach a white cloth to the car antennae. If someone stops to help, stay in your locked car and ask them to call the police, sheriff or a tow truck service.
• Don't stop to aid motorists by the side of the road. Make a phone call requesting help for them.

While Waiting for a Bus

• Be alert to your surroundings and the people around you.
• Try to avoid isolated bus stops.
• Don't open your purse or wallet while boarding the bus—have your pass or money already in your hand.
• Keep jewelry out of sight; don't flash jewelry; turn rings around so the stones don't show.

On Board Buses

• During off hours, ride as near to the bus operator as possible
• If someone bothers you or makes you feel uncomfortable, change seats. Inform the driver of the situation.
• Carry your wallet inside your coat, or in a front pocket.
• Keep your belongings in front of you and hold close to your body with both hands.
• Be alert to pickpocketers on crowded buses; check your purse or wallet if someone is jostling, crowding or pushing you.

Office Security

• Never leave your purse or wallet in plain view or in common accessible areas.
• Don't leave cash or valuables at the office.
• If you work alone or after business hours, keep the office door locked.
• If you work late, try to find another worker or a security guard to walk out with you.
• In an elevator, be mindful that there is a distress alarm on the control panel.
• Be alert for pickpocketers on crowded elevators.
• Report all suspicious persons and activities to the proper authorities (office manager, building security, law enforcement).
• Be aware of escape routes for emergencies and post the police and fire department numbers near telephones.

Finally, if a crime does occur...REPORT IT! Everyone should consider it his or her responsibility to report crime. Many criminals develop favorite areas for committing crime, as well as predictable methods of operation. When you report all the facts about a crime, it helps the police assign officers in the places where crimes are occurring or where they are most likely to occur, and your report may help prevent a crime from reoccurring.

At least half of the crimes in the Unites States go unreported, either because people don't think the police can do anything about it, or because people don't want to get involved. If you don't report a crime, this allows the criminal to continue to operate without interference.

In many cases, it is the information provided by victims and witnesses that leads to the arrest of a criminal. So tell the police as much as you can; no fact is too trivial. The police need the eyes and ears of all citizens.

Five Different Ideas for Workplace Safety Presentations

Safety presentations can either bore an audience to sleep or provide the tools and knowledge to improve the overall safety program. There is rarely an in-between when it comes to these meetings.

Whether you are a full-time safety professional or a supervisor who has safety responsibilities, you may find yourself tasked with having to put together a safety presentation with no clue of what to present.

This post looks at the difference between a safety presentation and toolbox talks as well as provides free resources and ideas on what to cover at your next meeting.

The Difference Between a Safety Presentation and Safety Toolbox Talk

Depending on where you work, the terms “safety presentation” and “safety toolbox talk” may mean the same thing. In my opinion, a safety presentation, or safety meeting , is a longer and more structured safety training session. A safety presentation usually means a formal safety training session is taking place.

This usually entails securing a conference room, creating a presentation, having a sign-in sheet, creating a quiz to assess knowledge, making time in the affected employees’ schedule to participate in the safety training, etc.

Note: Visit our online store to purchase complete done-for-you safety meetings or become a member to get access to over fifteen presentations. There are one to two presentations added each month for Members!

What is Covered in a Safety Presentation?

The simple answer is anything can be a topic. A presentation can cover a required OSHA topic, or it can be an in-depth behavioral safety topic as part of an ongoing safety campaign.

There is no hard-and-fast rule, but longer meetings should be dedicated to required topics or topics that are impactful to an organization’s safety goals . These safety topics usually require more time and instruction for employees to be able to fully understand the information.

What is a Safety Toolbox Talk?

Safety talks are a short safety message 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 in duration at most companies when conducted often. The talks can cover a range of topics or just a single focal point.

These talks are still meetings, but they are shorter in duration and documented via a sign-in sheet. Companies will commonly set aside time each day or week to share a short safety message with employees.

These meetings are great for keeping safety at the forefront of employees’ minds and sharing timely safety information. Due to the short nature of these meetings and not using a quiz to assess the employees’ knowledge, they are often not considered formal safety training sessions.

Please take the time to browse our 250+ free workplace safety talks that can be used as a basis for a presentation!

Need to Find an Idea for a Safety Presentation?

Like many of you reading this, the most difficult part for me is coming up with a topic I want to speak about. The good news is there are an endless number of topics you can choose to talk about when discussing workplace safety .

In this article, I will discuss five different ideas for PowerPoint or Prezi-based safety presentations for longer safety meetings. All of the ideas are based on free information that is provided on this website. The topics are just expanded on to turn them from an informal safety toolbox talk into a longer and professional presentation. You can also check out our post on using safety videos as part of your safety training sessions.

The topics below are tailored more towards behavioral topics since many run-of-the-mill topics such as lockout/tagout, fall prevention, welding, etc. are thoroughly covered throughout the internet. A simple Google search will often yield completed PowerPoints on any general safety topic.

Five Ideas for Safety Presentations at Work for Your Next Safety Meeting

1 – how observant are you: behavioral safety presentation.

This is a safety talk that I wrote that I really think is good for audience engagement and works for many different audiences. Read the safety talk here and then continue reading the rest of the summary below. In short, you use a dollar bill to reinforce the fact of how easy it is to miss the fine details of something we see almost every day. It engages the audience by asking them to provide you with the details of a dollar bill.

If they are missing dozens of details on a six-inch dollar bill, what are they missing while at work? The same can be said with the observations they write down on their JSAs.

Use the exercise to show that there are many different observations and hazards that can be written down for any one task. After the exercise, you can go into how the individual workers can improve their observations of the work area or their JSAs.

You can also take actual photos of work areas and discuss the hazards in the photos. Another idea is to ask for stories or experiences of commonly overlooked hazards in the workplace. There are many different ways to expand on this short exercise.

2 – The Idea of the “Large Ripple”: Behavioral Safety Meeting

I call this idea the “large ripple”. You can find an article about the large ripple here . Many times, we stress how an injury or incident will affect the INDIVIDUAL, the INDIVIDUAL’s ability to work, the INDIVIDUAL’S family, etc. Well, what about everyone else in the company?

It sounds counterintuitive or weird to even tell someone, right? Let me explain. If an individual feels that his/her choice to take risks and cut corners only affects him/her, they may actually be MORE tempted to work unsafely.

Reinforcing the idea that we not only count on one another to stay safe but also count on each other to work safely so the business can continue is an interesting angle to approach. When the company thrives, everyone continues to work and has job security.

When individuals begin to choose to work unsafely, it not only affects them; it also affects their friends at work, no matter how many miles they are from where an incident occurs.

3 – S.O.R.T. Your Way to a Safer Workplace: Group Activity Safety Meeting

S.O.R.T. stands for Stop, Observe, Recognize, and Take Ownership. You can find the S.O.R.T safety talk here. You can use the acronym to discuss steps to complete a thorough inspection of the work area before starting work. I used this as part of one of my safety presentations and incorporated the tools that have been established by both our client and our company for each of the four steps. For example, a JSA could fall under “Observe,” and training could fall under “Recognize,” as in recognizing hazards.

The steps are not groundbreaking, but they serve as a good model to break down the process and walkthrough observations.

This topic is great to use as a basis for a group activity meeting. The employees can take what they learn from the presentation and walk through each step as it applies to their specific work area and job tasks. Handouts can be created to supplement what was taught in the presentation.

In the member’s area, we have put together a safety presentation combining the Dollar Bill observation exercise, “Large Ripple”, and SORT Tool. Sign up today to download it!

4 – Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs as it Relates to Safety: Behavioral Safety Meeting

As management, there are many things we can do so that employees satisfy their physiological needs ( Maslow’s lowest level of the hierarchy) to help them focus on higher levels of personal fulfillment.

While I only discuss the lowest level of the hierarchy in my article, every level could be related to safety in some aspects.

The target audience for this talk is more of a management/supervisor level who can take the message and make improvements at their site for the employees. They can also take the message and make it a focal point for employees to recognize and address how these basic needs can interfere with their ability to fully work safely.

5 – Success is the Fulfillment of Potential: Behavioral Safety Meeting

While this can be a personal mantra, the idea also applies to workplace safety. Every company ultimately strives for zero injuries and zero property damage incidents on a recurring annual basis. While that can be a tough target to hit, it can also be the company’s potential in the realm of workplace safety.

The idea that success is the fulfillment of potentia l can be further discussed at the individual level. From there, cast out how the individual level affects the company on a macro scale. If everyone is fulfilling their potential when it comes to being the safest and most efficient worker they can be, everyone wins.

It is important to drive home the point that fulfillment of potential in just one area does not make someone successful. Someone who is the best dozer operator in the company but cannot get along with others is less successful than an above-average operator who can communicate and work with others.

We all have our strengths and weaknesses, but being self-aware of how we can improve as a person is critical to success. This idea can be paired with the larger ripple discussion mentioned above to make for an effective and different safety presentation.

I hope one of the five topics above has got your wheels spinning on different routes you can take on your next safety presentation. Look at all the safety talks or longer articles in the Safety Pro Blog for additional ideas. Any of these ideas can be paired with other ideas to make an effective presentation.

Even if you have a certain topic you have to cover, think outside the box to refresh it. Conducting safety presentations does not have to be stressful!

How to deliver a safety presentation that stands out

Safety presentations are essential to ensure a business is up to date on health and safety regulations, as well as employers learning the skills to identify potential hazards in the workplace. 

However, it’s vital this information is retained so it can be used when a situation arises during the working day. This shows how important it is to stand out in your presentation, so the critical information can be retained by the audience. 

If you are struggling to make your presentation stand out, it may be beneficial to consider some presentation coaching .

What can be included in a safety presentation? 

Although many presentations can include different attributes, as an overview a safety presentation should include how to prevent hazards in the workplace, legislation and enforcement, risk assessments, and emergency plans.

The Health and Safety Executive has put together some useful resources that can be beneficial when putting together a presentation, as a starting point. 

Tailor your presentation to your audience

If you have access, learning about the audience before delivering the presentation may be beneficial during the preparation, as well as the execution of the safety presentation. 

For example, if the team you are presenting to newer employees in a business, you could decide to invite experienced workers who can give an insight into past health and safety hazards experienced during their careers. 

This personal touch to your safety presentation will be personalised and relatable, increasing the likelihood that it will stand out. 

Use visual aids for communication

One of the main ways your presentation can stand out is by utilizing visual aids. Visual aids can help retain comprehension and retention, which will lead to a higher quality safety presentation. This can be achieved through high-quality graphics, images, videos, and graphics that make the presentation more appealing. This is particularly important when specific slides may come across as less engaging. 

Practice what you are going to say

In order to help your presentation stand out and appear confident to your audience, practicing beforehand will help put you at ease, as well as reduce the need to look at notes or the presentation slides. This will allow you to engage more with the audience directly, even asking them to get involved. Not to mention that speaking with confidence will bring more authority and clarity.  

Be current with industry trends

Being aware of current trends in the health and safety industry will help the audience resonate with what you are saying. If the safety presentation is about safety regulations that don’t relate to your industry, then it’s likely the information will not be retained by the audience. 

For example, if you are discussing office set-ups, relating to home working and the pandemic will help the audience relate to the pandemic in 2020, and will reduce the chance of people switching off. 

We hope this article has helped you understand how you can tailor a safety presentation to help it stand out.

13 ways to enhance your personal safety via situational awareness

January 8, 2019

Use these 13 situational awareness tips to increase your personal safety

A new year is often a time of taking stock: re-evaluating one’s accomplishments, goals, and personal habits – both the good, and the bad. While many choose to reaffirm their commitment to a healthy lifestyle, many overlook the flip side of the same coin: personal safety. Regardless of the time of year, making a commitment to one’s personal safety is always an excellent idea.

One of the most effective ways to do this, short of enrolling in formal classes or self-defense training, is by practicing everyday situational awareness. Situational awareness is the ability to identify, process, and understand what is happening around you, while thinking ahead to prevent or mitigate potential safety incidents. It requires you to stay alert and draw upon your unique set of experiences and skills to evaluate your environment. Successful situational awareness requires a proactive and flexible mindset, which can be achieved through regular practice.

The following topics are some simple ways to increase your situational awareness. Try these personal safety drills at work or in public to form good habits and determine your best response to potential threats. Frequent practice is vital, as no two situations are the same, and every environment provides unique conditions that will challenge your adaptability. View each new setting as an opportunity to practice – when these tips become second-nature, you greatly increase your ability to keep yourself safe.

Electronic Distractions: Whether it’s staring down at your phone or listening to music, using electronic devices can seriously impair your ability to be aware of what is going on around you. Only use your devices after you’ve determined you are in an area or situation where it is safe to do so. Look up occasionally to re-scan your surroundings and make note of any changes. If you’re using headphones, consider using only one, or keeping the volume as low as possible in order to still be able to hear what is going on around you.

Peripheral Vision: Attempt to focus on something while also observing what’s happening at the edges of your vision. This widens your monitoring range for detecting anything out of the ordinary.

Scan: Most people automatically scan new situations or environments, but don’t always focus on the most useful information. Practice looking for exits, barriers, suspicious objects and people, and any other unique elements that could be of importance to your personal safety. Additionally, be sure not to get complacent in familiar environments, such as your workplace or a regularly frequented lunch spot. Just because it is safe one day does not mean it will be safe every day.

Exits: Always be aware of your exits, and have an exit strategy. Practice devising alternate methods of escape if your primary exit becomes compromised. This does not just apply to buildings, but can be practiced in cars, public transportation, elevators, and even in outdoor environments. This principle can also be applied to travel routes, and being conscious of obstacles, choke points, alternate routes, and so on.

Protect your Back: Utilize walls and other barriers to protect your back and sides and maximize your field of vision, taking care not to back yourself into a corner. Practice this in public places, such as seating in restaurants, waiting rooms, or shopping centers.

Reflective Surfaces: One of your biggest advantages in a dangerous situation is being able to see the danger coming with enough time to react appropriately. When your range of vision is limited, get creative about ways to expand it and give yourself an advantage – practice utilizing store windows, car windshields, or even other people’s sunglasses to detect threats you wouldn’t be able to see otherwise.

Stop and Pretend: If you feel like you are being followed, either on foot or in a vehicle, stop and turn around, pretending as if you went the wrong way. The reaction of the person following you will help you determine if they are indeed a threat: If they stop or reroute to mirror your actions, then you can confirm that they are following you intentionally.

Become a Hard Target: Those with malicious intent generally single out individuals that seem meek, vulnerable, or unaware of their surroundings. Body language plays an extremely important role in how you are perceived by others. Exuding an aura of confidence, awareness, and capability, regardless of how you actually feel, can help broadcast to any threats that you are an undesirable target, and increase your personal safety.

Personal Space: If someone is crowding you, seems suspicious, or is displaying threatening body language, scan them for subtle signs of violent intent or a hidden weapon. Increase the distance between yourself and this person – the amount of distance depends on the situation, but five or six feet can allow you some reaction time if they become an active threat.

Visualize: Play out scenarios in your head beforehand. If you spot a situation in your immediate vicinity that could pose a threat, such as a blind corner on a sidewalk, ask yourself, “If there was a threat behind that corner, how would I react? Where could I escape?” Premeditating such responses can help them to become second-nature in the event of an actual emergency, making your response more effective.

Intuition: Trust your gut. If you get the sense that something is wrong or doesn’t add up, do not ignore it. Your instincts exist to protect you – it is always better to be overcautious than to ignore warning signs that turned out to be legitimate.

Senses: Practice engaging all your senses (sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste) to their fullest extent to increase your personal safety. Regularly exercising your senses can make them keener, which can help you avoid unsafe situations, determine threats faster, and pick up on critical information more quickly during emergencies.

Speak Up: Report all the following situations immediately to your supervisor (while at work) or to the person in charge (when out in public): accidents, injuries, close calls, near misses, safety hazards or concerns, and any suspicious persons, activity, or behavior. Even if there is not currently a dangerous situation or nobody has been injured, if there are elements that could lead to either of these things, the person in charge should be made aware so that they can take the appropriate action.

Personal safety begins with an individual’s awareness to their environment – no one can defend against danger they couldn’t see coming. Taking your safety seriously doesn’t just help you, but can benefit others as well. Even practicing one of these skills on a regular basis can exponentially increase your situational awareness. We hope these tips can be of value to you as 2019 begins, and we wish you a happy (and safe!) new year!

Personal Protective Technology Program

Updated July 15, 2022

The Personal Protective Technology (PPT) Program prevents work-related injury, illness, and death by advancing the state of knowledge and application of PPT. It supports more than 20 million U.S. workers who rely on this equipment (e.g., respirators, coveralls, gowns, gloves, eye protection and other types of protective gear) to keep them safe from on-the-job hazards.

Frameworks for Protecting Workers and the Public from Inhalation Hazards

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine published a Consensus Study Report titled, Frameworks for Protecting Workers and the Public from Inhalation Hazards . Federal partners, NIOSH, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of State, as well as the CDC Foundation, commissioned this report to address the evolving respiratory protection needs of the public and workers not operating under a respiratory protection program.

Draft NIOSH Healthcare Personal Protective Technology (PPT) Targets for 2020 to 2030

PPT plays an important role in protecting healthcare personnel. Reflecting on the nation’s past decade of experiences with infectious and non-infectious hazards, the NIOSH PPT Program has developed a strategic approach to PPT research, development, performance standards and test methods, and conformity assessment.

The Personal Protective Technology (PPT) Program is a world leader in keeping American workers safe through PPT research, standards development, respirator conformity assessment, public outreach, and information dissemination. This technology partially, but not absolutely, protects workers from death and disabling injuries and illnesses resulting from exposures to hazardous airborne particles, harmful chemicals, dangerous biological material, excessive noise, falls, physical trauma, and fires. Examples of PPT include respirators, protective clothing, gloves, eye, fall and hearing protection, hard hats, and sensors to detect hazardous substances. The primary focus of the PPT Program’s projects and activities is on PPT issues affecting the Public Safety , Healthcare and Social Assistance , and Mining sectors.

The PPT Program is responsible for testing and certifying new respirators before they enter the market. This ensures that NIOSH-approved respirators meet the minimum construction, performance, and respiratory protection standards to keep users safe. The Program conducts post-market activities to ensure devices continue to perform to the applicable standard. Additionally, the Program evaluates and improves equipment worn by workers by conducting research on new technologies, emerging hazards, and test methods. Based on the research, the PPT Program is able to develop and implement science-based national guidance for respiratory and other personal protective technologies. The Program performs outreach to disseminate guidance and tools to help employers and employees use PPT as effectively as possible.

Respirator Approval

One of the key responsibilities of the PPT Program is to test and approve respirators used in U.S. occupational settings. This function ensures a standard level of quality and filtration efficiency for all respirators used within a U.S. workplace setting.  This function is guided by a set of  service goals  that reflect ongoing efforts to ensure that users are able to select and use a variety of respirators that meet NIOSH performance requirements.

PPT Research

The PPT Program also conducts research to evaluate performance, comfort, fit, and usability of personal protective equipment. To do this work, the PPT Program intersects with several sector and cross-sector programs within the  NIOSH Program Portfolio . Ten sector programs represent industrial sectors, and seven cross-sector programs are organized around health and safety outcomes. PPT is one of numerous core and specialty programs that represent core activities, mandates, special emphasis areas, and methodological approaches. The sector programs intersect with cross-sector programs in a matrix-like fashion, with relevant core and specialty programs playing a supporting role.

This approach allows multiple programs to work towards accomplishing the shared research goals in the  NIOSH Strategic Plan . For example, the PPT Program contributes to goals on:

• Reducing  cancer and adverse reproductive outcomes ,  pathogen transmission , and  work-related asthma  among healthcare and social assistance workers.
• Reducing  lung cancer  and other  respiratory diseases  caused by hazardous airborne contaminants among mining workers.
• Preventing exposures to  known or suspected carcinogens  among fire fighters
• Reducing exposure to particulates and heat stress suspected of contributing to  adverse cardiovascular  outcomes in firefighters and other first responders.
• Prevent  transmission of infectious disease  among public safety workers.

Program Performance One-pager The  PPT Program Performance One-Pager (PPOP)  offers a snapshot of NIOSH programs’ priorities, strategies used to make progress towards priorities, recent accomplishments, and upcoming work.

COVID-19 Response

The COVID-19 pandemic created an unprecedented challenge to global PPE supply chains. Widespread shortages of respirators, especially N95 filtering facepiece respirators, left many workers in the United States without the respiratory protection they needed to do their jobs. The PPT program completed more than 550 Respirator Assessments to Support the COVID-19 Response . These reports provided respirator purchasers with information about respirators that were 1) conforming to international standards rather than US standards, 2) beyond shelf life, or 3) decontaminated.

More information useful resources can be found on the Directory of Personal Protective Equipment . Especially important resources include:

• Certified Equipment List
• Searchable database of NIOSH-approved respirators
• Counterfeit Respirators
• Alerts about counterfeit respirators or those misrepresenting NIOSH approval on the market
• COVID-19 PPE FAQs
• Frequently asked questions about personal protective equipment
• Elastomeric Half Mask Respirator Resources
• A type of air-purifying respirator that allows for repeated cleaning, disinfection, storage, and reuse
• PPE CASE Reports
• Findings from post-market personal protective equipment tests, evaluations, and investigations
• Powered Air-Purifying Respirator Standard
• Interim final rule on approval tests and standards for air-purifying particulate respiratorst

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.

The presentation secrets of Steve Jobs (Ex-C.E.O. of Apple)

• Transmit passion for your topic
• Write out the 3 key messages you want your audience to receive

• Deliver what you promise
• Give credit to your helpers
• Use demonstrations
• Reveal a Holy S # 1 t moment
• People remember how you made them feel not what you said

Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories

OSHA developed this slide presentation for its compliance officers (CSHOs). However, the information contained in the slides can help employers and workers better understand certain product-approval requirements in OSHA safety standards. The products affected by these requirements must be approved (i.e., tested and certified) to help ensure they can be used safely. Moreover, they must be tested and certified by an organization recognized as an NRTL by OSHA. There are only infrequent exceptions to these requirements.

In order to ensure that the testing and certification has been done appropriately, OSHA has implemented the NRTL Program. The NRTL Program establishes the criteria that an organization must meet in order to be recognized as an NRTL by OSHA.

Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death due to an infectious agent in the world. Since 1985, the incidence of TB in the general U.S. population has increased 14 percent, reversing a 30-year downward trend. Outbreaks have occurred in hospitals, correctional institutions, homeless shelters, nursing homes, and residential care facilities for AIDS patients. Specific control measures recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and required by OSHA has contributed to a drop in TB cases in 1994 and 1995.

In February 1996, OSHA issued CPL 2.106, Enforcement Procedures and Scheduling for Occupational Exposure to Tuberculosis to protect workers against the hazards of TB.

Workplace Violence

Workplace violence has emerged as an important safety and health issue in today's workplace. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA's) response to the problem of workplace violence in certain industries has been the production of OSHA's guidelines and recommendations to those industries for implementing workplace violence prevention programs.

In 1996, OSHA published Guidelines for Preventing Workplace Violence for Health Care and Social Service Workers. The guidelines are based on OSHA's voluntary generic Safety and Health Program Management Guidelines.

In 1998, OSHA published Recommendations for Workplace Violence Prevention Programs in Late-Night Retail Establishments. The recommendations are based on OSHA's 1989 voluntary generic Safety and Health Program Management Guidelines.

Safety Moment Ideas: 24 Topics for a Strong Discussion

Prepare your company and your people for whatever risks they might face with these 24 ideas for “safety moment” meetings.

What Is a Safety Moment?

• How and When to Integrate Safety Talks
• 24 Safety Moment Ideas for 2024

Training is one of the key elements of effective safety leadership . You need to establish a pattern of consistent communication, educating your company’s employees on the risks they face in the workplace and the best strategies to protect themselves.

Sometimes, this is easier said than done. Even the most engaged employees struggle to give safety meetings and training sessions their full attention. Research has found that most presentations lose audience attention within the first 10 minutes. A safety meeting agenda can aid in structuring effective and engaging meetings.

You need a way to integrate education into your organization’s daily activities without risking information overload. Enter the safety moment. Concise, direct, and easily digested, it’s an ideal way to share and reinforce critical safety information.

In this article, we’ll outline what safety moments are, how you can maximize them, and a variety of safety moment ideas to help keep your people safe.

Safety Meeting Toolkit

A safety moment is a brief talk about a specific, safety-oriented topic at the beginning of a meeting. A safety moment is usually between 5–10 minutes long and may also be called “safety minutes,” “safety chats,” or “safety shares.”

Teams can approach these conversations in different ways to maximize the impact. But there are a few common aspects to most companies’ safety moments:

• Keep them short, usually lasting approximately five minutes and never more than 10
• Focus on a single topic rather than jumping around or overloading participants with information
• Orient the safety moment toward your team’s upcoming day or week, not long-term planning
• Use safety moments to support a positive safety culture through clear, concise, and engaging communication

Safety moments vs. toolbox talks

You might have heard the term “toolbox talks” and wonder how they compare to safety moments. The tradition of toolbox talks may have begun on construction sites or similar worksites where there is a need to regularly brush up on equipment safety procedures. This term is used in diverse workplaces today, just as safety moments are used to establish regular informal discussions of actionable safety information.

In any case, the meaning of each of these terms is rooted in how teams use them—rather than strict definitions—and there is bound to be a wide variety of approaches to supporting safety outcomes for unique industries, organizations, and leadership teams.

Along with “safety moments” and “toolbox talks,” other common names include “safety minutes,” “ safety talks ,” and “tailgate meetings.” To choose an effective name, consider the tone and goals you’re aiming for—and the setting for your talks. What resonates for a roofing company may not resonate for an accounting firm.

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

Why are safety moments important?

Safety moments are a valuable tool to deliver or reinforce critical information. Topics can cover routine issues but are also a great way to highlight timely hazards. Say, for example, your team is operating heavy machinery they haven’t worked with in a few months. At the start of the day, a quick safety moment covering the risks and precautions can help ensure everyone is aware and prepared.

Safety shares are also a great way to encourage safety engagement . Routine safety training can sometimes feel abstract and easy to tune out. But since safety moments cover topics that are immediately relevant, employees are more likely to give their full attention and participation to the safety message of the day.

How and When to Integrate Safety Moments

The ideal frequency and format for safety moments vary by setting and industry. Companies with workers based mostly in offices will usually hold safety moments in conference or break rooms. And given the less hazardous environment, weekly safety moments may be sufficient. They can also be a great complement to your monthly safety topics .

Conversely, higher-risk workplaces like warehouses or construction sites might hold daily moments to reinforce salient points and help prepare workers for what they’re doing that day.

24 Safety Moment Ideas for 2024 and Beyond

To determine the most productive safety meeting topics for your workplace, first perform a business threat assessment . No two organizations—or even worksites within an organization—face the same risks. Offices, kitchens, factories, and construction sites all have unique conditions that can impact your employees’ workplace safety . When you have a clear understanding of the hazards that might impact your people, you can plan for training sessions, including safety moments to address smaller safety topics or refreshers of more in-depth training.

Here are 24 safety moment ideas to improve general safety and inspire detailed presentations about the hazards in their work environments.

Universal safety moment topics

1. situational awareness.

One of the most important skills you can help your employees develop is situational awareness in the workplace . Spend a few minutes to emphasize the value of staying focused on the task at hand and being cognizant of your surroundings to reinforce your broader situational awareness training programs. You can give actionable tips for minimizing distractions or reviewing a short safety checklist before putting full attention on a potentially hazardous task.

2. Emergency exits and routes

Every workplace must have clearly marked emergency exits. While safety moments can’t replace fire drills , they serve as a good reminder of where the nearest exit is and how to safely reach it. This brief check-in would also be a good time to make sure people are aware of where evacuation routes are posted for easy reference in various locations throughout the workplace.

3. Security and access control

Whether it’s accidental or intentional, someone’s presence where they shouldn’t be creates a workplace risk. Cover the security policies for the group you’re talking to, as well as protocols for reporting a breach.

4. Fire prevention and preparedness

Workplace fire prevention is a broad topic that you can break down into several fire safety moments. For example, you can discuss how to avoid fire hazards , where fire extinguishers are and how to use them, what each employee’s role is in case of a fire, and where to meet after evacuating.

5. The importance of proper rest

What happens at home can indirectly influence workplace hazards. Employees who don’t get enough rest can fatigue more easily and make mistakes, putting themselves and their coworkers at risk of injury. You can encourage sufficient rest for health and safety reasons and review workday break schedules to ensure people are taking advantage of chances to rest and recharge while on the job.

6. Parking lot safety

At the end of a workday, it can be tempting to stare at your phone, catching up on messages while you walk to the car. However, between trucks with poor visibility, distracted drivers, and potential threats lurking in dark corners, parking lots are full of hazards to be aware of. Review any risks particular to your parking areas and tips for staying aware, avoiding known hazards, and how to contact reliable assistance if needed.

7. Two-way communication with safety leaders

A two-way communication platform that includes mass notification and employee check-in functionality is key to any safety program. But it’s effective only if your team uses it properly. Review how and when employees should expect to receive notifications, as well as how to check in and report threats.

Industrial, warehouse, and construction safety moment topics

8. personal protective equipment usage.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is part of many workers’ routines, but it’s often taken for granted. Periodic reminders about issues like properly fitting hard hats, hearing protection, and testing air filters and respirators could prevent serious injury.

9. Heat stress prevention

As OSHA prepares to release its first-ever set of heat regulations , it’s a good time to remind employees about the risks of heat exposure and heat exhaustion. Focus on prevention , early warning signs, and how workers can help keep each other safe in hot situations .

10. Forklift safety

Forklifts can be as dangerous for operators as they are for anyone in the vicinity. Discuss the rules for properly operating a forklift, such as speed and load limits, as well as the use of visual and audio cues to keep routes clear. A popular solution is to lay down brightly colored tape to designate driving lanes and no-go zones to keep pedestrians safe.

11. Heavy machinery

When someone spends long enough working with heavy machinery, the inherent danger can begin to feel routine. While experience is valuable, complacency is dangerous. Use safety briefings to remind workers of the risks and safety procedures to follow for each piece of equipment every time.

12. Hazardous materials and chemicals

Chemicals and other hazardous materials always present a risk, no matter how often your team may work with them. Review the specific risks and warnings of materials present in the workplace, and teach how to properly respond in the event of a spill or exposure.

13. Injury treatment and reporting

No matter how much effort you put into prevention, accidents happen. In the event of an injury, workers need to know where to seek out first aid, when to go straight to the hospital, and how to comply with OSHA incident reporting regulations .

Retail and hospitality safety moment topics

14. avoiding slips, trips, and falls.

Workplace injuries caused by slips, trips, and falls cause workers to miss an average of 14 days of work . Go over common hazards to watch for in your work environment, as well as the process for reporting and mitigating the risks.

15. Piling, stocking, and shelving hazards

Crowded aisles, tall stacks and full shelves can create potential hazards for employees and customers. Review how to properly store, stack, and display inventory, as well as good habits for avoiding cluttered emergency exit routes.

16. Safe lifting techniques

Standing for long periods of time can lead to back and leg injuries, especially when combined with bending over to lift objects. Provide frequent safety tips on good posture, the importance of appropriate footwear, and how to properly lift items to avoid injury.

17. Shoplifting and robbery protocols

If an employee faces theft or an armed robber, they need to know exactly how to handle the situation. A quick safety toolbox talk can refresh employees on what to do, how to protect themselves, and who to contact once everyone is safe.

18. Knife safety

There’s a common saying that a falling knife has no handle. Anyone who works in a kitchen has heard this a thousand times, but talking about how to properly handle and care for knives can help prevent an unfortunate injury.

19. Working with heat and flames

Hot surfaces and open flames from stoves, ovens, broilers, and deep fryers can all cause serious injuries. Quick safety talks focusing on each of these hazards can keep your kitchen staff aware of the risks and focused on doing their jobs safely.

Office environment safety moment topics

20. cybersecurity.

Researchers estimate that cyberattacks happen an average of every 39 seconds . Reviewing how to avoid phishing scams, social engineering, and unsafe attachments could save your company from a costly and painful data breach or malware infection.

21. Electrical safety

Offices might seem safe compared to industrial settings, but anything that plugs in can be a hazard. Frayed cords, overloaded surge protectors, and malfunctioning kitchen equipment can all lead to fires, and your team should know how to identify and address these risks before a crisis develops.

22. Proper ergonomics

When you spend most of the day in front of a desk, you need a setup that’s easy on your body. Avoid repetitive stress injuries by discussing the details of proper ergonomics, including chair height and posture, desk height, monitor angle and orientation, and how to position keyboards and mice.

23. Eye strain

The more time someone spends staring at screens, the higher the risk of eye injuries. Going over ways to mitigate eye strain, such as screen filters and appropriate lighting, can help employees stay productive without impacting their vision.

24. The importance of regular breaks

Since sitting at a desk all day isn’t physically demanding, people might not think they need to take breaks. However, prolonged sitting can cause physical injuries, contribute to eye strain, and lead to mental fatigue. Remind employees not only to pause their work periodically but also to stand up and walk around for 5 to 10 minutes every hour.

Putting Safety Moments to Work

A consistent feedback loop of training, education, and practice is an essential component of a strong safety culture . Safety moments are a great way to complement more extensive and rigorous training programs, as they allow you to reinforce concepts on a more frequent basis.

In industrial settings, safety moments can set the tone for the day. Whether you’re reviewing a common topic or describing a new risk, an engaging discussion can get workers focused on keeping themselves and their peers safe. Five minutes every morning to ensure everyone goes home healthy and happy is time well spent.
