Scout's Toolbox Talks

Slippery surfaces and uncovered holes are among the fastest ways to get hurt on the job.

Uncontrolled spills and unmarked floor openings pose serious risks for slips, trips, and falls. These toolbox talks cover OSHA requirements for spill cleanup, marking wet areas, use of absorbent materials, covering or guarding floor holes, and keeping walking surfaces dry and safe. Use them to train workers on quickly addressing hazards and keeping all traffic areas clear and secure.

Use these toolbox talks to prevent slips and falls by reinforcing proper spill response and safe handling of floor openings on active construction sites.
