Want an easy way to make your workplace safer without spending a penny? Here’s a simple trick that takes just 30 minutes and can help prevent incidents on the job.

Step 1: Spot the Hazards

During your next Toolbox talk, get everyone to list their top workplace hazards—the things that could go wrong and cause injuries. This could be anything from slippery floors to dodgy equipment or working at heights.

Once everyone’s shared their list, use the HazardCo Toolbox Meeting feature to record and combine the results into a master list of the biggest hazards in your workplace. This makes sure nothing important gets missed and gives your team a clear safety focus.

Step 2: Take Action

Now that you know the biggest risks, it’s time to do something about them. This list can help your workplace:

• Write better Risk Assessment, Method Statement (RAMS) – making sure all work activities are properly assessed and controlled.
• Update safety policies – making sure they actually match the hazards people face.
• Make safety part of team meetings – keeping everyone aware of what to watch out for.
• Create better training – so new and current workers know how to stay safe.

By using HazardCo’s Toolbox Meeting feature, all of this is tracked and recorded, so your team has solid proof of what’s been done to make work safer.

Why This Matters

Incidents at work can be serious, but most of them can be prevented. This simple 30-minute exercise gets everyone involved, so safety isn’t just a rule—it’s part of the way your team works. Plus, with HazardCo’s easy reporting tools, you can keep improving and stay ahead of risks before they become real problems.

So next time you’re in a toolbox talk, speak up—your input could stop someone from getting hurt.
