Run a toolbox talk your team will actually remember, and a sheet OSHA will accept.

If you take an action based on what you read here, that action is yours. We are a guide, not an advisor, and we give this away for free.
General guidance, not professional safety advice. If something's unsafe right now, stop work. Report serious risks to OSHA (www.osha.gov), anonymously if needed.
What the law actually says
- •OSHA doesn't mandate toolbox talks by name, but it does require you to instruct each worker in how to recognize and avoid the hazards of their job (29 CFR 1926.21(b)(2)).
- •A signed, dated toolbox talk is a simple record that you delivered that instruction, which matters if OSHA or an insurer ever asks.
