Toolbox Talks

Toolbox Talks safety briefings are an easy and efficient way to keep construction employees safe.

What are Toolbox Talks?

These brief meetings offer an opportunity for team members to learn about potential hazards and preventive measures, as well as a chance for the employer to review safety regulations. They are a great way to ensure that everyone is aware of the safety protocols that must be adhered to in order to prevent accidents and injuries on the job site.

Each toolbox talk has been reviewed and approved by a subject matter expert at L&I DOSH.

We also offer safety talks in Spanish and Russian.
