Safety briefings are short meetings led by the site supervisor to discuss the health and safety hazards workers will face on the worksite. These briefings typically happen before the start of a job or shift, or even before going to the site. It's important for your safety brief to be concise for it to be effective. You can use a format like our sample safety briefing to outline the discussion points that will be covered in the briefing.

Ensure you have a reliable safety brief template like this example

Safety briefings are especially important in construction because they ensure workers understand potential hazards on site and how to avoid them. These briefings also promote open discussions about health and safety, addressing concerns directly on the worksite.

A reliable safety briefing template helps ensure workers understand safety protocols and managers to easily track who has attended the briefings. Our safety brief example outlines the key sections that any good briefing record should have:

  • Worksite details
  • Meeting start and end times
  • Meeting attendees
  • Meeting leader
  • Meeting agenda and minutes, including:
    • Potential hazards
    • Accident investigations conducted since the last safety brief - if any
    • Safety topics and action items
  • Details of next safety brief
  • Signoff field for the meeting leader to complete the brief

Alternatively, you can download our customisable safety briefing sample and template to get started right away.
