Frequently asked questions

What is a toolbox talk?

A toolbox talk is a short, informal safety briefing held with a work team, usually at the start of a shift or before a task. It focuses on one topic, takes 5 to 15 minutes, and works best as a conversation rather than a lecture.

How do I run a good toolbox talk?

Keep it short and specific. Tell the story of the incident, connect it to the work your team is doing today, and spend most of the time on the discussion questions. Ask people what could go wrong on their job, and listen. Record who attended.

Is the attendance sheet a training record?

It is a useful record that a briefing took place and who attended. It is not a substitute for formal training or competence assessment where those are required.
