NREC Tailgate Jobsite Safety Briefing
This NREC Tailgate template supports foremen and crews in conducting concise jobsite safety briefings before work begins. It captures work order details, date, and crew leader and members, along with the rescue 911 address. Teams can discuss potential job hazards, job procedures, and any special precautions. The form prompts for required PPE such as hard hats, safety glasses, reflective vests, hearing protection, rubber gloves, chaps, and protective covers. It also includes checks for source control, cover-up and line grounds, vehicle grounding, location and circuit call-ins, proper traffic control with cones and signs, wheel chocks, pre-flight aerial lift inspections, outrigger pad use, and DOT walk-arounds. The briefing concludes with signatures and initials to document attendance and acknowledgment.
