from the perspective of a blue collar speaker (I'm a master mechanic for a chain of truck repair shops in the Midwest) I hold a safety meeting once a week with a similar rule. No weird breaks. I learned this style of speaking in the Army. Basically in our 15 minute safety meeting I cover what's happening, why, things that were dangerous, and what we need to do to be safe. Our upper management sees this style as confrontational but its extremely effective.
