Scout's Toolbox Talks

Lifting isn’t just about strength — it’s about planning, communication, and control.

Improper lifting procedures are a major cause of crane accidents, dropped loads, and serious injuries on construction sites. These toolbox talks cover load weight estimation, center of gravity awareness, proper use of slings and shackles, communication between operators and riggers, and OSHA safe lifting guidelines. Use them to reinforce smart, coordinated lifting techniques that prevent accidents and protect your crew.

Support your safety meetings with toolbox talks on crane lifting best practices, OSHA rigging requirements, and safe material handling strategies for high-risk lifts.
