Explanation:
1. Definition in English

Tailgate meetings have been held ever since the first tailgate was invented. Before that, who knows what they were called? The fact is, the concept of the tailgate meeting is not new - it involves gathering a group of workers around the back of a pickup truck or other location in the field or work area, having some sodas or sweets to hand out, and spending a few minutes going over some important work-related information.

Safety committee members will attend a safety tailgate meeting of a unit other than their own to view what takes place at the meetings and look for ideas where the committee can assist with these meetings in order to keep them informative, useful and assist the supervisor with developing a variety of discussion topics. This information will be shared at our next meeting.
