# SETTING UP A TAILGATE/TOOLBOX SAFETY MEETING (cont.) ## How to Run an Effective Meeting (cont.) 10. After the meeting, consider the following: • Did the topic fit the job site? • Did the crew participate? • Did someone demonstrate safety equipment or safety practices? 11. Afterwards, evaluate the impact of the tailgate meeting. Are employees now able to recognize and correct hazards? Ask questions, walk the job site, and observe. 12. Document/record the meeting topic, date, attendees, and any actions taken. ## How Often Should You Have Toolbox/Tailgate Meetings? Section 1509 (construction) requires them at least every 10 working days, and Section 8406 (tunneling) at least weekly. However, depending on the work conditions and safety culture of the job site, they should be held more frequently- even daily if necessary. ## Additional Tailgate Meetings Resources Title 8 California Code of Regulations (T8CCR) (www.dir.ca.gov/samples/search/query.htm) - 1509 - IIPP Construction Safety Orders • 3203 - IIPP General Industry Safety Orders • 8406 - IIPP Tunnel Safety Orders California FACE Program - Fall Prevention Tailgate Training Materials (www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CCDPHP/ DEODC/OHB/FACE/Pages/Tailgate.aspx) Electronic Library of Construction Occupational Safety and Health (eLCOSH) (www.elcosh.org/index.php) Cal/OSHA Publications (www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/puborder.asp) CAL/OSHA Pocket Guide for the Construction Industry • Tailgate Safety Meeting Topics Cal/OSHA Consultation Branch (www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/consultation.html) [redacted email] • Toll-free Number: 1-[redacted phone]

STATE OF CALIFORNIA CAL OSHA DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS California Department of Industrial Relations Division of Occupational Safety and Health Publications Unit # SETTING UP A TAILGATE/TOOLBOX SAFETY MEETING January 2020 Job site tailgate and toolbox safety meetings are brief meetings, proven to prevent accidents, illnesses, and on-the- job injuries by improving the safety culture at your job site. Refer to the referenced Title 8, California Code of Regulations (T8CCR) sections for details on the requirements for these safety meetings. ## Why Have Tailgate/Toolbox Safety Meetings? They are required for the construction (T8CCR Section 1509) and tunneling (T8CCR Section 8406) industries. In addition, all California employers must have an Injury and Illness Prevention Program that includes employee training in safe work practices (T8CCR Section 3203). Tailgate/Toolbox meetings can help reinforce that training. ## What to Talk About? Work practices, machinery, tools, equipment, materials, attitudes, and anything else that may cause or contribute to a work-related accident or illness. Keep the topic relevant to the job or tasks that workers perform. Address existing job site problems by drawing on workers' real-life experiences. Review and discuss: • OSHA Log 300 records. • Findings from safety inspections and accident and near miss investigations, including corrective actions taken. Supervisors or foremen should remind all employees - especially newer ones - of the dangers of working with particular kinds of machinery, tools, equipment, and materials. You should also carefully observe your workplace and employees' work activities for potential safety hazards. For example, if you notice that spills are not being cleaned up promptly, discuss housekeeping policies. If an accident or near-accident occurred at your job site, share the details and corrective actions. Try to answer the following questions at the meeting: • What happened? • Where did …
