Scout's Toolbox Talks

Welding and cutting can start fires, cause burns, or damage lungs — without the right protections in place.

Hot work operations like torch cutting, arc welding, and grinding come with multiple hazards: fire, flying sparks, UV radiation, and toxic fumes. These toolbox talks cover fire prevention, PPE requirements (eye, skin, and respiratory), ventilation, shielding from others, and proper equipment setup. Use them to train workers on safe practices that reduce injury and fire risk during welding and cutting tasks.

Use these toolbox talks to promote safe welding procedures, OSHA compliance, and protection against heat, sparks, and fumes.
