safety talk ideas
meet the founder
The first job site I worked at I was required to lead two safety talks each day. These talks were delivered to the same work crew who have heard it all when it comes to workplace safety. Having to attempt to add value day after day without being repetitive became very stressful for me. It was not easy to find a wide array of quality topics to use for my daily safety meetings in one place.
To solve my own pain point Safetytalkideas.com was created in June 2016. Over four years later of late nights and weekends spent writing, hundreds of free safety talks published, and tens of thousands of safety pros helped- here we are today.
