A safety-moment is a brief, focused safety discussion delivered at the start of a meeting, shift, or gathering — typically 2-5 minutes long. Its parameters are: (1) a single safety topic or hazard drawn from the participants' actual work context; (2) a facilitator who presents the topic and leads a brief reflection; (3) a connection to the audience's own work or experience. A safety-moment persists through organizational safety culture, meeting agendas, and the practice of sharing safety observations peer-to-peer. It is distinct from formal safety-training in its brevity, informality, and topical immediacy. [formal: moment of safety | substrate: behavior | horizon: hours | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.02]
