In high-risk industries like construction, toolbox talks can have a significant impact on safety. Presenting employee safety meetings and toolbox talks don’t need to be a daunting task, but it is required by law that you take the time for these.
As the Safety Services Director for ROII, I have the ominous privilege of looking at injuries daily. Too often, I read about workers suffering eye injuries when material flies into their eyes while they’re grinding, drilling, milling, sawing or doing similar work.
While no employer wants to dictate to their employees what they should or shouldn’t be doing while off duty, you can always remind them at safety meetings and toolbox talks about the need to get proper rest so they can come back to work refreshed each day.
