Toolbox Talks

Each work week begins with a Toolbox Talk discussion by every supervisor with his or her crew. The Toolbox Talk covers safety-related incidents from the previous week, (such as site inspections or near misses), a one-week look ahead for site-specific hazards and an assigned weekly safety topic. Weekly topics are generated in-house and use various safety-related incidents as lessons learned.
