Scout's Toolbox Talks
📦 Material Handling and Ergonomics
Avoiding Pinch Points
It only takes a second for a hand or finger to get caught — and it could be permanent.
Pinch points are everywhere on a construction site — between tools, materials, moving equipment, and doors. These toolbox talks cover how to identify pinch point hazards, safe hand placement, PPE use (like gloves), machine guarding, and proper lifting and carrying techniques. Use them to keep your crew alert to common crush and pinch hazards that can cause serious injuries.
Support your safety meetings with toolbox talks focused on pinch point awareness, hand safety, and OSHA-recommended practices to prevent crush injuries on the jobsite.
