Construction Toolbox Talks!

Construction work involves many hazards, from heavy machinery and excavation to electrical systems, falls, hazardous materials, and underground utilities. A strong safety program therefore requires more than written policies and formal training. Construction toolbox talks provide a practical way to keep safety information fresh, relevant, and connected to the actual work employees are performing. A toolbox talk may last only ten minutes, but a well-planned discussion can reinforce important safety requirements, identify changing jobsite hazards, and encourage workers to make safe decisions every day.
