Tailgate talks are daily; this is the deeper monthly meeting. Pick the month's topic, lay out the key points and why it matters, bring a real-world example, and run discussion questions so it's a conversation, not a lecture.

Action items and takeaways get written down, and a crew attendance grid plus supervisor sign-off documents that the meeting happened and who was there. A year of these is a real safety program on paper.

What's inside

  • Month/year and topic overview
  • Key points and a 'why it matters' section
  • A real-world example slot
  • Discussion questions to drive participation
  • Action items & takeaways
  • Crew attendance sign-in + supervisor sign-off
For safety leads & supervisors — and it's free to use on real jobs.

Questions

How is this different from the tailgate talk?
The tailgate talk is a quick five-minute daily huddle; the monthly safety topic sheet is a longer, scheduled meeting with discussion and a documented example. Many crews run both.
What topics should we cover?
Rotate the hazards that actually show up in tree work — chainsaw kickback, electrical and line-clearance hazards, aerial rescue, heat illness, struck-by, rigging. One per month keeps it fresh over a year.
