CPWR Toolbox Talk Series
CPWR’s Toolbox Talks are designed to be used at the start of work to raise worker awareness of potential hazards workers may encounter on a job and preventative measures. The format for the toolbox talks is based on NIOSH research. Each Toolbox Talk includes an image on one side illustrating the potential hazard, and on the other side a description of the hazard and risk, a brief ‘real-life’ case example, steps to prevent an injury or illness, and questions for discussion. All of the toolbox talks are available in English and Spanish.
