Use T2 Tailgate Talks as guides to help you conduct 10-15 minute tailgate training sessions for your crew.
The Concept:
A tailgate talk is a short informational meeting held with employees to discuss a worksite related safety topic. The term tailgate meeting comes from the practice of meeting around the tailgate of a pickup truck on site. The goal of the tailgate talk is to inform employees of specific hazards associated with a task and the safe way to do a job. Tailgate talks also serve as reminders to employees of what they already know while establishing the supervisor’s credibility and conscientiousness about his/her responsibilities for safety.
