- Safety hazards specific to the current work task. - Proper use of equipment and tools. - Emergency procedures and preparedness. - Safe work practices and techniques. - Company policies and procedures. - Lessons learned from recent incidents or near-misses.
Toolbox talks are meant to raise awareness about potential hazards, reinforce safety practices, and provide an opportunity for workers to ask questions or raise concerns.
