A toolbox talk is a short safety talk, normally delivered at the workplace (not a training room) and on a specific subject matter.
We have developed 12 toolbox talks for the construction industry one for each month. The toolbox talk training should be short ( 5 – 10 minutes) and too the point with a specific safety message which is outlined in each of the talks. The following talks have been developed:
- Working on Roads
- Work at Height
- Electricity on Site
- Overhead Electricity Lines
- Underground Services
- Slips, Trips and Falls
- Vehicles on Site
- Manual Handling
- Health
- Use of Scaffolding
- Excavations
- Lifting Operations
The objective is to raise awareness of a particular aspect of the work but to do it on a regular basis so that the good safety message is reinforced. Attendance should be recorded and this can be done by downloading the corresponding attendance register.
