Each safety talk will take about five minutes to present.

Choose a talk suited to site and work conditions. Don't give a talkon quick-cut saws when none are being used on the job. Deliverthe talk where it will be most appropriate. That could be the joboffice, out on the site, or near the tools and equipment you aretalking about.
Introduce the subject clearly. Let workers know exactly what youare going to talk about and why it's important to them. Refer tothe safety talk for information. But wherever possible use yourown words.
Connect key points to things your crew is familiar with on theproject. Pinpoint hazards. Talk about what may happen. Useinformation from the safety talk to explain how to control orprevent these hazards. Wherever possible, use real tools,equipment, material, and jobsite situations to demonstrate keypoints.
Ask for questions. Answer to the best of your knowledge. Getmore information where necessary. Ask workers to demonstratewhat they have learned. Use the Safety Talk Report Form to keepa record of each talk delivered. Include date, topic, and names ofattendees.
To make a Safety Talk work you should
The information you present in a Safety Talk may be the onlyinformation workers receive about a particular tool, piece ofequipment, type of material, or work procedure on the site.In choosing and presenting your talk, do everything you canto help workers remember and act on the message youdeliver.

Venue
The venue for your safety talk may be dictated to you. It may bean existing meeting room, site office or other suitable location.
Make sure any equipment or props you need are going to beavailable. If you need an overhead projector to show a PowerPointpresentation, is there one available? Is there room to demonstrateputting on a Safety Harness?
Check the location before you start your preparation, it maydetermine the type of presentation you deliver.
When
Decide on the best time to have the safety talk, once again thismay be determined for you. A good time is a the start of a shift, orat the start of a meeting.
Avoid having a safety talk at the end of a meeting or at the end ofa shift. You will find people are not interested and just want to getaway.

Provide Examples
Examples can be great, especially if they are specific to thework force being addressed, or the tasks being performed.Props, items of PPE, Video Clips, Photographs and so on can alladd value and interest to your Safety Talk.
Questions

You can use these records for a number of things. A check canbe made to ensure that the target audience is being captured,or are there some individuals, shifts, or contractors that havebeen missed.
If you are required to provide evidence of Safety training,attendance records for Safety Talks can form a part of thisevidence.
Archive
When you have completed your Safety Talk you should archive it. It can then be used again in the future as a refresher or for newpersonnel.
If using an archived Safety Talk be sure to check the validity of the information. Check that legislation or local rules have not changed. Check that the work tasks are similar and that the information being conveyed is relevant.
