safety talk

Workplace precaution meeting

Safety talk refers to a brief meeting or presentation covering workplace hazards and precautions, typically held before a shift or task begins: We had a five-minute safety talk about ladder use.

Also called a toolbox talk or tailgate meeting.

In casual use, safety talk can mean any cautionary discussion: Mom gave us the safety talk before we left for the trip.
