Scout's Toolbox Talks

Temporary power keeps the site running — but one mistake can electrify the ground, equipment, or your crew.

Portable generators and temporary power systems are essential for early-phase construction, but they come with serious electrical hazards. These toolbox talks cover OSHA and NEC guidelines for generator use, grounding requirements, proper extension cord connection, overcurrent protection, wet environment precautions, and refueling safety. Use them to train workers on how to set up and operate temporary power safely and compliantly.

Lead safety meetings with toolbox talks focused on portable generator operation, temporary power installation, and OSHA-compliant electrical safety practices for construction sites.
