Toolbox Talk – Near Miss

Full Description

Things happen on a jobsite, dangerous things. When dangerous things happen that don’t result in an incident they are labelled as a near miss or a close call. When that happens it’s useful that they are reported. Reminding people of this is best done through a toolbox talk. But what is a toolbox talk and how can it be used.

A toolbox talk is a document that is reviewed as part of weekly or daily meetings with the workers on site to educate them of safety trends or issues. It is intended to provide a summary of information intended to reinforce key items to the workers. A toolbox talk is given by the supervisor and signed off by workers receiving the talk.

This safety tool box talk on near misses covers a number of the key basic principles and guidelines for avoiding injuries on a jobsite.
