Scout's Toolbox Talks

Cuts, burns, and punctures are some of the most common — and preventable — jobsite injuries.

Hands are exposed to constant hazards on construction sites, from sharp materials to hot surfaces and chemical contact. These toolbox talks cover OSHA hand protection requirements, glove types by task (cut-resistant, chemical-resistant, impact-resistant), proper glove fit, inspection, and knowing when gloves are required or unsafe. Use them to help workers choose the right glove for the job and avoid serious injuries.

Use these toolbox talks to improve hand safety awareness, promote proper glove selection, and comply with OSHA’s PPE standards for construction work.
