Prices in Canadian dollars. Any tax that applies is shown at checkout.

Twenty-four one-page toolbox talks for residential crews in Word and PDF, each with key points, questions for the crew and a sign-in, plus an Excel log that shows which talks are due.

Each talk takes about ten minutes: why it matters, five key points, three questions to ask the crew, lines for notes about this site, and a sign-in. The topics cover ladders, open edges, scaffolds and roofs; housekeeping, fire and working alone; saws, nailers, cords, cranes and isolating energy; trenches and moving equipment; lifting, dust, noise, eyes and product labels; and working in heat and cold.

Log each talk in the workbook and it counts how often every topic was given, when it was last given, and which ones are not given yet or due again. Edit the Word file to add your logo, your procedures and your own talks. The talks are general discussion points that support your safety program: ask your own safety adviser and follow your local safety regulator's rules.

What's inside

Toolbox talk library, 27 pages, letter size (Word and PDF). How to run a talk, an index, and 24 talks of one page each: why it matters, five key points, three questions for the crew, site notes, date, presenter, job and minutes, and a sign-in for five people. The last page is a blank talk record for a topic of your own. Areas: access and heights, general site, equipment and tools, ground and site works, body and health, and weather.

Talk log, Excel (.xlsx), four sheets, in two versions. Up to 200 talks: date, talk number, presenter, job or area, attendance, minutes and the hazards the crew raised. The talk name fills in from the number, and a check column flags a missing date or talk number.

Topics. 40 talk numbers: the 24 in the library and room for your own, with times given, sign-ins, last given, days since and a status of Not given yet or Due again, based on a repeat period you set.

FAQ

Are the talks a safety program?

No. They are general discussion points that support your own safety program. They do not make any work safe or compliant and are not legal or safety advice. Ask your own safety adviser and follow your local safety regulator's rules.

Can I add my own talks?

Yes. Edit the Word file, or use the blank talk record. The log has room for 16 more topics, numbered 25 to 40.

How often should a talk be repeated?

Set the repeat period in days on the Settings sheet; the log flags any talk given longer ago than that. Your safety program or regulator may set how often talks are held.

Do I need a computer on site?

No. Print the talk, run it, have the crew sign the page, and log it later.
A note on safety

The talks are general discussion points and a starting point for your own safety program. They do not make any work safe or compliant. Occupational health and safety rules differ from one jurisdiction to another, so follow the rules where you work, including how often talks are held and how records are kept, and ask your own safety adviser before you rely on them. Not legal or safety advice.
