Your Supervisors Lost the Safety Meeting — Here's How to Get It Back

Written by Kevin Burns | Jul 24, 2026 2:15:00 PM

If your safety meetings are falling apart - employees interrupting, side conversations, someone hijacking the agenda - you've probably already tried the obvious fix.

You gave your supervisors a script.

It didn't work.

Here's why. The problem isn't the meeting. It's that your crew has already passed judgment on the person running it. And no agenda, no script, and no one-hour training on how to run a safety meeting is going to change what the team has already decided about their supervisor.

The behavior you're watching in that room isn't disrespect. It's a performance review. And the employees are giving you accurate information about a promotion decision you already made.

In this video, you'll find out what your supervisors actually lost, why they lost it before they ever walked into the room, and the one thing you can actually control about your safety meetings that most companies get completely wrong.
