What is worse that taking time out of production for a meeting? A boring meeting that means nothing other than being compliant in OSHA’s eyes.
Seize the opportunity to impact your crew, get personal, tell stories, share your experience or the experience of fellow loggers. Create something great! You are setting the tempo for how safety meetings are carried out.
We had a CPR training the other night, and the owner went out and bought pizza for everyone. We had a great time learning about 1st aid/CPR and surviving one of the most dangerous jobs on the planet; even after working 8 hours! It was a long day for everyone; and the last thing that I wanted to do was bore the crew to tears.
