Tailgate Talks
The idea of a tailgate safety talk is to take a discrete activity, practice, or piece of equipment and drill into it quickly in a way that is relevant to what your crews are doing or are likely to encounter. Typically, we’ll talk about the dangers or risks, some best safety practices, perhaps some statistics, and try to relate case studies from OSHA or elsewhere.
The Training Resources Workgroup of the National LTAP Association (NLTAPA) developed the Tailgate Talks resources for LTAP centers across the USA for LTAP centers to adapt as newsletter articles, technical briefings, flyers, tri-fold brochures, or any way they see these materials fit to raise safety awareness with local agency personnel.
