Safety articles/meetings

[spidermonkey17]

Hey everyone, i know this post is probely in the wrong place but i thought i might get a bigger auidence if i put it here. Here is my question, i run the safety meetings at our company and i have used pretty much every safety article on the TCIA website and the tailgate book. What i am looking for is some other good information/articles i can discuss at our weekly meetings. Any ideas on where to find some articles or things to talk about, or what are you doing for your safety meeting?? Thanks everyone.

Big O has a bunch of good stuff, ask one of the foreman in your area for his book, by him lunch next to a Kinko's and copy everything! I did it. The horror story's are good too. I like to print them off and read them to the guys.......or I should say kids now. I like giving them that gut sick feeling when they here about something that could easily happen to them. Then they start talking about it on there own.

Safety meetings are good at initial employment and periodically but imo all day long on the job is the best opportunity for safety discussions with the object for the safety right in front of you (and them). Sure not everybody is the treeguy and some are just managers like Lovstrom and others but if you are a day to day arb. just inject safety all day long while the need for discussion occurs. Much more memorable. Worked for me over all the years.

As for O, Asplundh orange I assume, those are some of the most dangerous mucka lucka's I ever seen in practice.
