A toolbox talk is a short, informal safety meeting, usually 10 to 15 minutes, held at the start of a shift or job. It focuses on one hazard or safe work practice that applies to the work your crew is about to do.
No OSHA rule requires toolbox talks, but many OSHA standards require hazard training. In construction, 29 CFR 1926.21(b)(2) requires employers to instruct each employee in recognizing and avoiding unsafe conditions and the regulations that apply to their work.
