Toolbox Talk: Maintenance

Worker safety should always be the number one priority of every company. Toolbox talks should be conducted on a regular basis to educate workers on safe work practices and stay compliant with regulations regarding safety and training.

Safety toolbox talks are important to building a strong safety culture and reinforcing your company's commitment to protecting your workers. Holding toolbox talks can prevent workers from getting complacent and avoid taking safety for granted.

Conduct toolbox talks on a monthly basis to reinforce your company's focus on safety. Toolbox talks, sometimes referred to as tailgate meetings or safety briefings, are short, informal safety meetings held at the start of a day or shift.

Toolbox talks are a great way to reinforce safety basics, focus on high-risk scenarios and to inform workers about changes to the job and/or working conditions that may have occurred. Be sure to discuss any accidents or injuries that have occurred and how they could have been prevented.
