Which statement best describes a Type 2 Job Briefing?

• A. It is used for routine work with no special hazards.
• B. It is a general safety orientation for the entire site.
• C. It covers hazards not usually associated with routine assignments.
• D. Job assignments where employees may be subjected to hazards not usually associated with their routine assignments.

Answer: (D)

A Type 2 Job Briefing is used when a task may expose workers to hazards that aren’t part of their normal routine. Before starting such work, the crew sits down to review the specific hazards of that job, the controls in place to manage them, the sequence of steps, and who is responsible for each safety action. It also covers necessary PPE, any lockout/tagout requirements, and emergency procedures, ensuring everyone understands and commits to the plan.

This aligns with the idea that job assignments where employees may face hazards not usually associated with their routine work require a focused briefing. The other statements describe routine work with no special hazards or a broad site safety orientation, which aren’t the targeted, task-specific briefing that Type 2 is meant to address.
