=== TOOLBOX TALK FORMAT ===

**Title:** [Topic Name]
**Date:** [Date]
**Presented by:** [Name]
**Duration:** 10 minutes
**Location:** [Job site]

=== THE TALK ===

**Opening (1 minute)**
Start with a hook — a real-world example, statistic, or question:
- "Last year, [X] construction workers died from [cause]. That's [frequency]. Let's talk about how we prevent that here."
- "Quick show of hands — who's ever [relevant experience]?"
- Reference a recent incident or near-miss if applicable

**The Hazard (2 minutes)**
Explain the specific hazard in plain language:
- What it is
- Why it's dangerous
- How injuries/fatalities happen
- How common it is in our trade

Use simple, direct language. No jargon the crew won't understand. Specific examples are better than general warnings.

**Prevention and Controls (4 minutes)**
Walk through the specific steps to prevent the hazard:

**Engineering controls** (eliminate the hazard):
- [Specific control for this hazard]

**Administrative controls** (change the way people work):
- [Specific procedure or practice]

**PPE** (last line of defense):
- [Specific equipment required]

For each control, explain:
- What to do (specific action)
- Why it matters (consequence of skipping)
- How to do it right (demonstration if possible)

**Real Scenarios (2 minutes)**
2-3 "what would you do?" scenarios:

"Scenario 1: You're [doing X] and you notice [hazard]. What do you do?"
- [Correct response]

"Scenario 2: Your coworker is [doing something unsafe]. How do you handle it?"
- [Correct response — speak up, not shame]

**Wrap-Up and Commitment (1 minute)**
- Summarize the 3 key takeaways
- Ask if anyone has questions
- "Does everyone commit to [specific behavior] today?"
- "If you see something unsafe, say something. No judgment."
