What is a Type 1 Job Briefing?

• A. A brief discussion regarding routine work, focusing on whether employees have the necessary training and experience to recognize and avoid hazards.
• B. A detailed assessment of all potential hazards at the site.
• C. A meeting to discuss project budgets.
• D. A post-job debriefing about performance.

Answer: (A)

Type 1 Job Briefing is a short safety discussion held before routine work to verify that each worker has the training and experience needed to recognize hazards and take steps to avoid them. It keeps the focus on whether people are prepared to perform the task safely, with an understanding of the hazards involved and the controls in place. Because it’s for routine tasks, it isn’t about a full hazard assessment or deep planning, and it isn’t about budgets or post-job performance. This is why the description emphasizes a quick check of training and hazard recognition for routine work.
