Toolbox Talk Planning Sheet
Turn one real job hazard into a short safety discussion with a demonstration, driver question, and observable follow-up.
Who It’s For
Supervisors leading short, practical driver safety conversations.
How to Use It
Choose one task and one behavior. Use a recent example without naming or blaming a driver. Prepare a short demonstration, ask the team how the hazard appears on their routes, and record a specific action to check later.
What’s Included
- Simple talk structure
- Real-world example and discussion prompt
- Action and follow-up plan
Example: Before backing at a customer site, stop and inspect the path on foot when safe. Ask: “What changes would make you stop and reassess?” Agree on the stop signal before using a spotter. Adapt the example to your site, equipment, and company procedures.
