Toolbox Talks - your resource for workplace safety

Toolbox talks are workplace safety conversation starters for Oregon’s high-risk industries: construction, transportation and logging. Engaging workers in toolbox talks can help employers meet Oregon OSHA’s safety committee and safety meeting requirements. Toolbox talks aid employers seeking to highlight and address safety concerns and prevent employee injuries and fatalities. Prompts give examples of real-world workplace incidents and provide workers and leaders recommendations on preventing similar events. Each toolbox talk includes visual components illustrating a particular topic and talking points to facilitate group discussion.
