Scout's Toolbox Talks

If your rigging fails, the entire lift fails — inspect before every use.

Worn, damaged, or improperly rated rigging gear is one of the leading causes of dropped loads on construction sites. These toolbox talks cover daily inspection requirements for slings, shackles, hooks, chains, eyebolts, and spreader bars. You’ll also review load ratings, rejection criteria, and OSHA/ASME standards for rigging hardware. Use them to ensure your team catches defects before they become disasters.

Lead safety meetings with toolbox talks focused on rigging inspection, load-rated hardware, and OSHA-compliant lifting gear checks to protect workers and prevent equipment failure.
