Toolbox Talk: Managing Deadline Pressure to Get Work Done Safely

Toolbox Talks

By eMOD Team

If you’ve worked in construction long enough, you’ve certainly felt the deadline pressure to hurry up and complete a task or job. It could be something you hear directly from management, or it might be pressure you put on yourself to get a job done efficiently. 

Sometimes, it’s difficult to balance that pressure with our basic need to do our work safely. But it’s crucial in our dangerous profession that we don’t take shortcuts or approach our daily work hastily. Because there might not be a second chance when it comes to our health and well-being.

Your safety is most important. If you feel as if you cannot safely complete a task by a specific deadline, it is your responsibility to speak up and inform your foreman or superintendent.
