How to use it
- Pick a topic. If you need one, browse our free toolbox talks or the printable PDF library.
- Fill in the hazards, safe work practices, and PPE for your specific job site. The template prompts you to prepare each section before you talk.
- Run the talk, pass around the sign-in sheet, and file both with your safety records.
A quick note on records: whether you need to document safety meetings depends on your employer’s safety program and the rules that apply to your site. If you keep records, a signed sheet shows who attended and what was covered. This template is a starting point – it does not replace required training or a site-specific hazard assessment.
