Toolbox Talks - 110 Safety Briefings
A Tips & Advice book about...
In a nutshell
This book helps you organise basic health and safety training at minimal cost. Safe and reliable, it ensures you've ticked all the legal boxes whilst taking care of workplace safety. We've done all the hard work for you and put together a series of 110 briefings covering everything from working at height to manual handling.
In detail
Each briefing in this book is structured in the same way, tackling five key areas:
- What it's about
- Associated hazards: what could go wrong
- Risk level: high vs low-risk situations
- Control measures: what can be done to prevent accidents
- Key points: a short summary of what your staff should remember
As long as staff can gather around the presenter and hear clearly, you can hold the briefing anywhere you like. Each briefing takes only 15 minutes and can easily be given by a non-expert. Use this book to train staff in an effective, inexpensive way.
