Scout's Toolbox Talks

If you can’t breathe safely in a space, you shouldn’t be in it.

Confined spaces can contain invisible hazards like low oxygen, toxic gases, or explosive vapors. These toolbox talks cover OSHA requirements for atmospheric testing, use of calibrated gas monitors, acceptable air quality ranges, continuous monitoring practices, and ventilation strategies to maintain safe entry conditions. Use them to ensure workers never enter a confined space without first knowing what’s in the air.

Use these toolbox talks to reinforce proper gas testing procedures, ventilation planning, and OSHA-compliant entry protocols for confined space work.
