Five-minute safety huddles before routes

I’ve been running a 5-minute pre-route huddle at 7:15 a.m. to hit one safety focus with a quick demo — today it was the 4:1 ladder rule with a spotter by the truck. It’s helped reduce near-miss chatter and gives new techs a safe place to ask questions before the first stop. What fast drills or cues are you using to lock in PPE checks and label reads when the heat and schedule ramp up?
