re: Safety Presentation Ideas...Interesting ones.

I did safety presentations every morning for 8 months at my last job. Even held 8 hour safety meetings. I literally came up with everything under the sun...

Here are a couple of topics that got the conversation going that are outside the boring OSHA crap:

1. Internet safety (always use credit card when buying online items, information safety.. etc. A lot of those guys don't know this stuff)
2. Any natural disaster prep (having a home prep guideline for your family in the event of flood, tornado.. ect)
3. Intruder safety (when an intruder breaks into your home what are the safest ways to deal with it)
4. Driving safety (there are tons of videos that will do the work for you)
5. Home safety (I used to give small stories and make the guys say what went wrong and how the situation could have been avoided)
6. Hand safety (Tell them to take their safety glasses off and on with one hand, tell them to pick a quarter up off the ground without using their thumbs, or button their shirt without their thumbs. Stress the importance of having all your limbs)
7. Attitude safety (attitude is the #1 contributor to good safety. If you don't care about safety you're gonna get whacked)
8. Before helping someone consider the risks
9. Complacency
10. Or my personal favorite: Tell them to act like they're bringing their kid into work for their first day. Do you tell your children it's okay to stand on you toes on a ladder? No, you always tell them the absolute safest thing possible. Therefore you should mimic that same behavior while at work.


That's just a few. Type 'Safety Huddle Topics' in google and you'll find some more good ones.
