General Health & Safety Orientation

Introduction

Our Last Line of Defense

Tailgate Meetings

Morning tailgate meetings are a required part of the workday, and all workers must arrive early enough to be signed in and ready before the meeting begins. Make sure you sign out at the end of your shift.

Make sure you are fit for duty before starting your shift and if you are not, tell your supervisor.

These meetings give everyone a clear understanding of the tasks planned for the day, the hazards that may be present, and the controls that must be in place to keep the crew safe.

This is also the time to speak up about any concerns, changes, or issues so they can be addressed before work starts and the entire team can begin the day aligned and informed.
