I am a Safety Manager for a food distribution center. Our tool box talk for this month is behavioral based safety. Please generate 7 questions that our supervisors can ask during their Supervisor Safety Walks.

Here are some behavioral-based safety questions for supervisor safety walk toolbox talks in a food distribution center, focusing on hazard identification and prevention:

1\. What materials or equipment could workers be struck by? Consider moving objects like forklifts, flying objects, or falling materials. 2\. What objects or equipment could strike or hit a worker's body, or that part of their body might be caught in, on, or between? Consider stationary or moving objects, protruding objects, and sharp or jagged edges. 3\. What could workers slip or trip on? Consider obstructions on the floor and stairs, surface issues (wet, oily, icy, uneven), and footwear that is in poor condition. 4\. What could workers fall from? Consider structures, tanks, silos, ladders, overhead walkways, elevating platforms, roofs, trees, cliffs and trenches. 5\. How could workers overexert themselves? Consider lifting (manual material handling), pulling or pushing, carrying, repetitive motions, and awkward and static postures. 6\. What other situations could workers come across? Consider unknown or unauthorized people in the area, a potentially violent situation, working alone, confined space, missing or damaged materials, new equipment or procedures at the work site, fire or explosion, and chemical spill or release. These questions are designed to encourage workers to actively identify hazards and think about prevention strategies during safety walk toolbox talks.
