Scout's Toolbox Talks

Strong winds can turn everyday tasks into high-risk situations — especially at height.

High winds can destabilize scaffolds, topple unsecured materials, swing suspended loads, and make roof or crane work dangerous. These toolbox talks cover OSHA guidelines for wind exposure, securing tools and materials, crane and lift shutdown thresholds, wind monitoring, and when to stop work altogether. Use them to help crews recognize wind hazards and respond before conditions become unsafe.

Use these toolbox talks to train workers on wind-related jobsite risks, safe work limits, and OSHA-compliant practices during high wind conditions.
