During a safety briefing, what two key elements must be included?

A safety briefing should cover hazards and how to control them, along with clear incident reporting procedures. Start by identifying what in the environment could cause harm and then lay out preventive actions to reduce those risks—such as engineering controls, safe work practices, PPE, and good housekeeping. Also spell out exactly how to report any incidents or near-misses: who to notify, what information to provide, and the timeframe for reporting so the event can be investigated and corrective actions put in place. The other topics you mentioned—dress standards, dietary guidance, or maintenance schedules—aren’t the two essential elements required for a concise safety briefing.
