The SMIA Safety Committee and Signal Safety Team have created a library of topics for Safety Meetings, or Toolbox Talks called Focus on Safety
In recent years, violence has become a leading cause of workplace injuries and fatalities. Terrorist attacks are one form of security threat. Other types of security threats, such as robbery and workplace violence, are more and more common.
Check out our entire Focus on Safety Library on the Safety Resources page.
If you have suggestions for a Focus on Safety topic that could help your company or the Mutual, please get in touch with your local Signal Safety Manager.
