A Toolbox Talk is an informal safety meeting that focuses on safety topics
related to the specific job, such as workplace hazards and safe work practices.
Meetings are normally short in duration and are generally conducted at the job
site prior to the commencement of a job or work shift. It is one of the very
effective methods to refresh workers' knowledge, cover last minute safety
checks, and exchange information with the experienced workers. Toolbox
Talks are also intended to facilitate health and safety discussions on the job
site and promote your organization’s safety culture. Toolbox talks/meetings are
sometimes referred to as tailgate meetings or safety briefings.

The Way Things Were
 First half of the 20th century one fatality was factored for every $1M in construction.
 Labor was readily available and the injured were replaced on the spot.
 Safety was for wimps. Risk taking was expected and rewarded by more work.
 Unions were first to drive focus on workplace safety.

Flawed Mindset – 1930’s

 The Golden Gate Bridge
o One fatality per $1 million dollars was acceptable.
o Cost to build the bridge was &35 million which allowed for 35 fatalities.
o Since only 11 people died during the construction project, it was considered a
breakthrough in regards to employee safety.
o Project came in “below budget” in terms of deaths.

PHASES OF PERSONAL SAFETY

Where are YOU?
 Phase 1: I don’t have time for Safety. It slows me down!
 Phase 2: Safety is OK, but Management places to much emphasis on it because “things
happen.”
 Phase 3: I believe in safety and work safe whenever I can.
 Phase 4: Safety is a value to me. I try to prevent injuries and incidents from occurring.
 Phase 5: Safety is instinctive to me. I am dedicated to the prevention of all incident and
injuries.

LIFE VISION
The LIFE Vision is for each individual to go home, each and everyday, in the same or better condition
than they left!
To achieve this Vision, a LIFE culture must be created that is dedicated to eliminating all:
Injuries!
Incidents!
Near Misses!
Content: A consolidation of labor and social laws to afford full protection to labor, promote employment
