Scout's Toolbox Talks

If you can’t breathe clean air, you can’t work safely — or stay healthy.

Dust, fumes, vapors, and airborne contaminants are common on construction sites and can cause serious respiratory issues over time. These toolbox talks cover OSHA respiratory protection standards (29 CFR 1910.134), types of respirators (N95, half-face, full-face), fit testing, cartridge selection, proper use, and maintenance. Use them to ensure your crew knows when respiratory protection is required and how to use it correctly.

Lead safety meetings with toolbox talks on proper respirator use, OSHA compliance, and protection against airborne jobsite hazards.
