Life-Saving Job Briefings:
How Work Safety Plans Can Eliminate Serious Injuries and Fatalities
Job briefings are a leading tool to prevent serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs) during utility work. But even with clear requirements set out by OSHA, utility workers still sustain life-altering or life-ending injuries every year.
- What can utilities do to make their job briefings more effective?
- How can operations teams adjust their work planning processes to prevent more SIFs?
- What tools and technologies are available to leverage job briefings for continuous improvement?
In this session, we talk to utility safety veterans about their experience with job safety briefings. We discuss best practices, lessons learned, and real-world strategies for turning this routine task into a practice that saves even more workers’ lives.
