If the work or operations to be performed during the work day or shift are repetitive and similar, at least one job briefing shall be conducted before the start of the first job of each day or shift.
Additional job briefings shall be held if significant changes, which might affect the safety of the employees, occur during the course of the work.
A brief discussion is satisfactory if the work involved is routine and if the employees, by virtue of training and experience, can reasonably be expected to recognize and avoid the hazards involved in the job.
A more extensive discussion shall be conducted:
If the work is complicated or particularly hazardous, or
If the employee cannot be expected to recognize and avoid the hazards involved in the job.
Note to paragraph (d): The briefing must address all the subjects listed in paragraph (b) of this section.
Note to paragraph (d): The briefing must address all the subjects listed in paragraph (b) of this section.
