Remind workers about the proper use of GFCI outlets on the construction site in this weekly safety meeting agenda.

A ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is used to protect people from electrical shock hazards caused by
 malfunctioning electrical appliances (i.e. power tools). An electrical current as small as 10 milliamperes (mA) across the chest of a person is reported to cause the heart to beat irregularly, possibly resulting in death.

Use this safety meeting template to reinforce and educate the usage of GFCI outlets amongst the workers and team members on your jobsite.
