Vermont Local Roads Toolbox Safety Talks

Toolbox Talks are a useful discussion tool to use at weekly safety meetings. These short tips can be discussed early in the morning while getting ready for the week or wrapping up at the end of the week. You can take the opportunity to review any accidents or “near accidents” from the previous week. You can review potential hazards that you may encounter daily or in regards to a particular project. Ask for ideas about preventing accidents. If you have a suggestion box, take this time to review them.

If you have a topic you’d like to see in the Toolbox Talks, please let us know. If you’d like to incorporate a short video into your weekly safety meetings, please review our videotape library catalog and YouTube Channel or call us for suggestions.
