Toolbox Safety Talks

Safety Awareness Training

Toolbox Talks are informal group discussions that focus on general product education and safety concerns. These talks can also be used to promote your department’s safety culture. They are an effective method of refreshing workers’ knowledge, covering safety concerns, and allowing experienced workers to share information.

WHY AWARENESS TRAINING? An insightful contractor commented that if everyone used their common sense we wouldn’t have injuries or accidents, either on or off the job. Workers need to be trained in the recognition and avoidance of unsafe conditions, both for company profitability and their professional development. Using common sense is really only one part of the solution in preventing injuries or accidents…the other is awareness training.

Our sales team partners with many of our manufacturers to provide our customers with one hour Toolbox Safety Talks on your job site in NC, SC, VA, and TN.

Ladder Safety

Ladders may seem simple, but improper use results in many serious injuries. Knowing the “Do’s” and “Don’ts” can help you avoid becoming another victim of falling from a ladder. This talk will cover:

Choosing the right ladder
Inspection process of a ladder
Set up and safe use of a ladder

PPE Awareness

Employers are required to educate each worker on the use of personal protective equipment. This talk will cover:

When PPE is necessary
What kind is necessary
How to properly adjust, wear, and take it off
The limitations of the equipment
Proper care, maintenance, useful life, and disposal of the equipment

Confined Space Fall Protection

Confined spaces can expose workers to many unique hazards. Having the correct fall protection components and understanding how to use them is essential. This talk will cover the major elements of a fall protection and retrieval system for confined space:

Properly fitted full body harness
Fall arrest device (i.e. retractable lifeline)
Anchorage connector (i.e. tripod or davit)

ABC's of Fall Protection

Falls are among the most common causes of serious work-related injuries and deaths. Employers must take measures to educate their employees on selecting the proper Personal Fall Arrest System. When selecting fall protection equipment, it’s important to look for the “ABC’s”:

Anchorage
Body support
Connection

Training At The Next Level

Competent Person Training

Having the right tools for the job is only half of what you need to get the job done, knowing how to use those tools is the other half.

OSHA requires each employer using construction access equipment to have a “Competent Person” on site to identify hazards and correct them. Associated Scaffolding’s Safety Instructors can give your personnel the knowledge to do that and more.

Classes

Scaffolding

This course will help identify the dangers of working with supported scaffolds and how these risks can be minimized by knowing the correct ways to maintain, inspect and use scaffolding equipment.
Fall Protection

The purpose of this fall protection program is to establish guidelines to protect all employees engaged in outdoor or indoor work activities that expose them to potential falls from elevations.
OSHA

The OSHA Outreach Training Program is OSHA’s primary way to train workers in the basics of occupational safety and health.
CPR / First Aid

This class meets the current guidelines for CPR as well as the OSHA requirements for first aid training in the workplace.
