INSTRUCTOR GUIDE
Safety Talk Overview
Safety Talks are a method to refresh an employee’s knowledge and skills, maintain their interest in safety and
illustrate the organization’s commitment to creating a healthy & safe work environment. Safety Talks can be
performed on a weekly basis or before the start of a new scope of work and should be about 15 minutes in
duration. Generally, these Safety Talk meetings are led by a supervisor and should be mandatory for all crew
members to attend. The content should be centred on a single topic (e.g. a safety rule, safe job procedures,
recent incident, Joint Occupational Health & Safety Committee (JOHSC) meeting minutes, inspection results,
etc.).
go2 developed these Safety Talks in conjunction with representatives from 11 ski areas in BC. The content is
meant to be a base on which to work from, so please feel free to customize the subject matter to your own
organization. If you would like to develop your own Safety Talk, please download the Safety Talk template from
the go2 website (www.go2hr.ca/skisafety) and contact Trina Wright at [email protected] and 604-633-9787
(ext 259) for support. If you are willing to share your Safety Talks with go2, we will ideally post it on our
website, to be accessed by all ski areas in BC. The more preventative ideas we can provide, the better the
chances of having an incident-free environment for all.
