There are countless How To’s and Templates for pre-start meetings on the internet. But at the end of the day, none of them may be relevant to your business. It may seem like they do they job well, but with no way to measure, analyse and improve you cannot be certain. Everyone has their own way of doing pre-starts and no way is right or wrong. What matters is whether they are making an impact on your goals.

Having a simple and repeatable process in place for your pre-start meetings will help your delivery immensely. By establishing a process, you can see where overall improvements can be made to improve how you go about preparing, delivering and improving your pre-starts. The simplest solution to this is by implementing a service like SafeWorkPro to centralise everything safety in your business. By doing this, you also make it much easier to measure and improve your safety processes over time. 

Here are some of SafeWorkPro’s features that will help you create more efficient and effective pre-start meetings. 

• Store your documents in the cloud and access them anywhere, anytime.  
• Create, edit or duplicate existing documents.

By using our safety management platform, you can instantly create a centralised source of truth for everything safety in your business. Bringing together all of the tools you use to create a single hub for your team’s safety.  

Relevant information, on the spot

One of the key points to a pre-start meeting is to identify any new hazards or risks that are present on site today. If there is a change to the site or a new piece of machinery will be operating, the crew needs to know. To deliver this information accurately, it first needs to be captured accurately. If you are using a centralised safety system like SafeWorkPro, this becomes a breeze.  

Our platform allows managers to capture and interpret real time data using a feature we call Liveboards, helping them look ahead. Fully customizable real time reporting built around the metrics you use. Use your data to forecast actions that need to be made to reduce risk in the future. For your pre-start meetings, this is very powerful in delivering real-time relevant information to your crew about what is happening on-site, right now. No more double checking the calendar for when things will be taking place. See what crews or tasks are being completed on site right now.
