Toolbox Talks

The Accident/Incident rate, occurrence of ill Health and Environmental damage in the Construction Industry are serious problems.  Continued training is essential to prevent Accidents/Incidents, ill Health and Environmental damage.  The TOOLBOX TALK program, if implemented correctly, can play a major part in our continuing effort to create an increased awareness of:

• hazards present in the industry
• precautions which must be taken to eliminate or control them

In doing so will help to reduce unwanted incidents.

The TOOLBOX TALK program is a series of discussion topics on Safety, Health and Environmental issues to help us all achieve safety at work.

Each Toolbox Talk is prepared utilizing current Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Construction Standards (1926) and General Industry Standards (1910).

Safety is a State of mind - Accidents are an absence of mind
