TOOLBOX MEETING
During these meetings, safety officers can provide information such as safety tips, best practices, and any specific safety procedures that are relevant to the work. Employees can also discuss any safety issues or concerns that they might have, which can be addressed during the meeting. Safety toolbox meetings are an important element of any safety program, as they can help to promote a culture of safety in the workplace. By identifying and addressing potential hazards, employees can be kept safe and healthy, and employers can avoid potential legal liabilities. Ultimately, a well-run safety toolbox meeting can help to reduce workplace incidents and ensure that everyone goes home safe at the end of the day.

SAFETY ORIENTATION
The purpose of a safety orientation is to educate employees and to familiarize them with the company’s safety policies and procedures. It helps employees understand the importance of safety and the potential risks in their work. It also helps them to recognize potential hazards and identify ways to minimize risks to themselves or to others. A safety orientation covers topics such as safety rules and regulations, emergency procedures, personal protective equipment (PPE), hazardous materials, and reporting procedures. Through safety orientation training, employees can learn preventative measures, which benefits not only them but also the organization as a whole. Moreover, it is required by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that every employee should undergo safety training. Failure to comply could result in legal liabilities and fines. Therefore, it is essential to conduct a safety orientation before deployment to ensure a safe and healthy work environment for all employees.
