Pre-Meeting Notes Remember to review the notes section of the presentation prior to presenting Review GPS Scorecard and Rankings (give some positive recognition to those who are doing well) Engage the team in safety with discussion of: Does anyone one have examples of “Stop the job”? Does anyone have any safety concerns? Review significant company incidents – Use them to engage in a conversation

Use the word that corresponds with the most severe hazard.

This will include statements on: How to protect employees from coming in contact with the product What to do if exposed to the chemical i.e., “If in eyes, rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Immediately call a poison center, doctor or physician.” The intent is to harmonize precautionary statements in the future
