Scout's Toolbox Talks

An unprotected edge or hole is a fall waiting to happen — cover it or guard it.

Open sides, floor holes, and unguarded walkways are common jobsite hazards that lead to serious falls. These toolbox talks cover OSHA requirements for guardrail systems, toeboards, hole covers, marking protocols, structural integrity, and inspection practices. Use them to ensure every edge and opening on your site is properly secured and clearly identified.

Use these toolbox talks to reinforce OSHA guardrail standards, floor opening protection, and fall prevention strategies that keep crews safe at every level.
