Explanation:
At least, for a grounds maintenance company I translate for every month, their toolbox talks are always focused on safety issues at the workplace and have the character I have tried to describe in my suggestion.

  -> Thank you, Gilles. However, maybe I should have not written "informelles", as at least for this company there is a roll call for everybody, and managers pay sharp attention to find out who attended the talk and who did not.

Explanation:
Revisiting this question some years later, I have just encountered this term, which I think is newly coined, at least in this specific meaning.
