Who gets trained?
Each Weekly Safety Meeting is designed to train the crew. These are not “train the trainer” newsletters. Construction Weekly Safety Meetings and Manufacturing Safety Meetings help you train your employees - including direct, indirect, temporary and contractors. Your employees are the people at risk. They are the ones who have accidents, get hurt, and die. It’s your job to prevent those injuries and deaths; Weekly Safety Meetings can help!
What are the training topics?
Each Weekly Safety Meeting addresses a topic which is directly relevant to the hazards faced by construction and manufacturing workers. Topics range from the basics like PPE and first aid to more specific issues like concrete hazards, silicosis and steel erection. Click here for a current list of Construction topics. The superintendent can make a Safety Meeting more meaningful to the crew by discussing one or two site-specific issues and asking the employees for their comments and ideas.
If you are interested in selecting your own topics, then checkout our Construction Select Edition version of Weekly Safety Meetings. We also have Manufacturing Select Edition Safety Meetings too!
Isn’t OSHA information very technical?
Weekly Safety Meetings are written so that they are easy for you, the superintendent or foreman, to read to the crew. We translate OSHA’s technical jargon into everyday language, making it easier for your crew to understand the hazards and how to control them. After all, if the crew doesn’t understand, the training isn’t going to do much good.
How will I make time to hold weekly meetings?
You need to do very little preparation and each Weekly Safety Meeting should only take five to seven minutes plus any time you allot for discussion. This tool lets you train your employees and then get them back to work with minimal downtime. In addition, your Weekly Safety Meetings will be delivered one month at a time; conveniently reminding you to plan the next four or five Safety Meetings with your crew. We don’t let you forget to schedule time for safety.
Where can I find the list of Weekly Safety Meetings published in 2022?
Each year, our Weekly Safety Meetings topics change to provide you with the most up to date, relevant information. You may find the list of our previous year’s Construction meetings here and our Manufacturing Safety Meetings here.
I have a Premium Membership, but I haven’t received my Weekly Safety Meetings / Manufacturing Safety Meetings via e-mail?

Why keep records?
Regular, uniform records of your jobs provide several opportunities to increase your bottom line. Improved record keeping will lead to better project organization, a better understanding of the work and the costs, fewer hassles over disputed changes, and ultimately increased profitability.
How can the Daily Log help you?
Each page of the Construction and Maintenance Daily Log helps you record that day’s important events. There is a heading for each section so you keep consistent records. The log makes it easy to keep good notes so that you or your supervisors can maintain better records. You may find your completed log book to be an excellent estimating tool for bidding on similar jobs in the future. It can also help you save time by having your notes organized and together in one place.
Features of the Daily Log
The Construction and Maintenance Daily Log is a lower-priced and higher-quality product than similar log books. It has a specially sewn binding that allows the log to lie flat when it's open, so it's easy for you to write in it. The log is durable and will hold up well even after days and months of use on the jobsite.
What types of information can be recorded?
The top of the daily page is dated with the month, date, and the first two digits of the year. First, you fill in the last two digits of the year and the day of the week. Then you begin your record keeping by making notes about the work performed that day, the weather, work force composition, and the topic of your Safety Meeting. As the day goes on, you may want to make notes on problems and delays, sub-contractor progress, equipment usage, and the material purchased. Don’t forget to sign the bottom of the page at the end of the day, and get signatures for changes, modifications, and changes to the day’s plan.
Three versions of the Daily Log are available
Safety Meeting Outlines has provided the construction industry with the original Construction & Maintenance Daily Log—the Green Standard Edition—since 1980. The Blue Expanded Edition is a two-page per day version of the same daily log. If you take lots of notes or need to make sketches, consider this edition. The left-hand page has the same format as the original, one-page per day book. The right-hand page has blank lines for extra notes and a grid section for sketches. The Pocket Edition, first published in 2008, allows you to keep your Log in your pocket. Ideal for smaller and shorter jobs, this Log Book features numbered but not pre-dated pages, allowing you to use multiple pages per day if necessary.
Creating your own record keeping tool
While we don't customize pages, if you choose to create your own sheet you may wish to include notes on the work performed that day and any problems or delays. What was the weather? Who were the sub-contractors and how much progress did they make? What was the topic of the Safety Meeting? Be sure to note what material was purchased and what equipment was rented. If you are required to submit mileage, this would be a good place to note that. It may help to note the amount of time certain pieces of equipment were in use. Was extra work necessary? Who authorized it? How much will it cost? Get appropriate signatures throughout the day.
Do you have other log books geared towards other trades?
We specialize in log books for the construction industry and currently do not carry log books for other trades. Please contact our office if you have an idea for a product that you think will fit with our line of product and services.

Do I have to give Quizzes?
Knowing that they will have to take a quiz on the material covered in the Weekly Safety Meeting makes employees more accountable for the information. They pay closer attention during the Safety Meeting, and learn more. Additionally, you can demonstrate that the employees are learning, rather than simply attending the Safety Meeting.
What can I do if the employees don’t understand the quiz questions?
Reading the Quiz questions aloud may help with employees who are poor readers. If the employee speaks Spanish, we have a Spanish version of each Quiz available. Currently, Weekly Safety Meetings and Quizzes are only available in English and Spanish.
Do I have to have a Premium Membership to get Quizzes?

How much do the Quizzes cost?
If you have a Premium Membership, there is no charge for Quizzes. Quizzes are an added benefit of your Premium Membership. If you have a Standard Subscription, the cost for Quizzes is based on the number of copies of Weekly Safety Meetings you receive. Quizzes cost $24 for each copy of the meetings that you purchase. For instance, if you buy 2 copies in English and 1 copy in Spanish, the cost for Quizzes would be $24 times 3, or $72.
What if I currently receive 10 copies of the Weekly Safety Meetings, but only intend to use Quizzes with 2 of my crews?
Our pricing policy bases the charge for Quizzes on the total number of Weekly Safety Meetings that are purchased by your company. If we currently send you 10 copies of the Weekly Safety Meetings, you’ll be charged for 10 uses of the Quizzes.
Are there Quizzes for the Meetings in the Online Library?
