On this occasion, this talk seeks to inform about the importance of holding talks on safety and health at work in order to prevent accidents at work.
Safety talks
The safety talks are talks prior to the start of work in which issues related to safety and health at work are discussed with the aim of reinforcing in workers the importance of complying with safety measures.
Why are safety talks held?
It is proven that receiving safety talks or instructions before carrying out work usually causes workers to:
- They feel part of the safety and health at work.
- Make fewer mistakes in operation, production or repair activities.
- Execute fewer work incidents that affect the company’s products and materials.
- Carry out your activities with the greatest probability of obtaining the desired results.
Likewise, in the safety talks, important information is also received from the workers about the activities that are going to be carried out, for example, their experiences, advice or recommendations regarding incidents or accidents in the work area.
Safety and health at work is not just one, and the more people who participate in it, the better solutions can be taken to avoid or control situations that are risky for the health of workers.
Safety talks, among other activities, encourage the participation of workers in safety within the company.
Final thoughts
The safety talks should be carried out frequently to form and correct some habits or behaviors in the workers, they should not be seen as a waste of time, since thanks to them good safety and health practices at work are reinforced.
