safety meeting

Workplace danger discussion

A safety meeting is workplace slang for taking a break to smoke marijuana, playing on the serious corporate term.

The joke is that the "meeting" provides mental relief rather than reviewing actual safety protocols: We're having a safety meeting behind the warehouse.

Common in service industry and blue-collar settings.
