Toolbox Talks
What Are Toolbox Talks & Why Are They Important?
Toolbox talks or tailgate talks are short, informal meetings for field personnel to discuss hazards and safe work practices. They are commonplace in the construction industry. Most often held weekly, they help foremen and supervisors to keep safety top of mind amongst their workers. Toolbox talks are also a key piece of safety due diligence and they are often provided as evidence when a company is defending itself from an OSHA citation. General Contractors often request subcontractors submit these records to them as well. Most toolbox talks are still conducted with paper.
