Safety Huddles are an improved toolbox talk designed as a 5-10 minute training session to inform workers of some of the hazards associated with the day’s work. It is a member only benefit which is accessed by an MBI issued password. Each subject will not only cover the subject matter, but will also identify key items that IOSHA will be looking for during an inspection, as well as commonly asked questions on each specific topic.
For questions or to request a new safety topic be added to the list below, contact Phil Mercuris or Tom Suckow at (515) 288-8904.
