How to Conduct a Toolbox Talk

Scheduling reoccurring toolbox talks are a great way to remind workers to follow safety practices and get everyone on the same page.
Troy walks us through the toolbox talk basics and lays out some topic examples.

I live in Denmark. Once as i was working as a Work environment professional, we had a visit from the danish work environment authorities (Arbejdstilsynet). There the one who did the inspection was a trained psychologist working as a inspector. She said that we often cant remember all instuctions and rules we have to abide by. Not because we dont want to, but because we simply cant remember - we get overloaded with information. We can get Cognitive (rembering) overload. That is why short informal meetings, right before work starts is really valuable. We cant remember everything at once, but if leaders reminds us the most key things to be aware off, in the task ahead, then there is a better chance in remembering it. This has really stuck to me.

Never heard of toolbox talk until I landed the job I have now going on 6 years. Have toolbox talks twice a month. But when I first heard of the toolbox talk, heck I thought we was going to talk about toolboxes. Boy was I wrong.

😂When things get heated on a jobsite, it's not a bad idea to take some time and just talk to your toolbox. You might be on to something.

The toolbox talk should also have input from the crew on any safety issues. Those should be written down. If it can be adderssed at this talk fine. The solution should be noted, in writing. If it is a serious issue there shoild be discussion on what will be done to either correct it or how to protect everyone until it is corrected. This also should be in writing.
