| 14.PR013 Toolbox Talks |
2.1 Timing
The Toolbox Talk should be carried out just before work begins on a task with potential hazards.
Toolbox Talks can also be carried out at every shift change or following any significant change of plans, working conditions, scope of work, or personnel.
Toolbox Talks may also be held before undertaking any new task with which personnel are unfamiliar.
Toolbox Talks should be timed to maximise their relevance to the task ahead - this can range from a few minutes to no more than 15 minutes.
The Toolbox Talk should be carried out at the worksite, if it is safe to do so. Otherwise, at a safe location close to worksite where all those involved can be heard and understood clearly. |

2.2 Attendance
Those attending should be personnel directly involved in the task. Personnel affected by the task should also attend. Additionally, HSE, Engineers and worksite representatives may attend. Restrict attendance to those that need to be there.
It is highly beneficial that all those attending make a contribution to the discussion. Encourage discussion and feedback.
The Toolbox Talk should be led by Supervisor, Team Leader or Responsible Person. |

2.3 Observing
The Toolbox Talk should take a detailed look at the task, job or activity about to be undertaken. Refer to the Risk Assessment for the task ahead.
The following topics should be discussed: PTW, Roles and responsibilities, hazards and risks, control and mitigation, communication, who should be aware of the task and control of site access, and lessons learned from previous experiences should be discussed. It is also a good opportunity to remind personnel of the risks involved in seemingly 'routine' tasks and to avoid complacency.
Encourage discussion and feedback.

2.4 Knowledge
After the Toolbox Talk is complete all team members should have a clear understanding of the scope of the task ahead, the hazards and risks involved, the controls in place, the roles and responsibilities of each team member and required action for safe operation.
It is important to enforce that the task can be stopped at any time.
It is responsibility of all staff to STOP THE JOB if it becomes unsafe and call a Time Out For Safety (TOFS).
