About this tool: A Toolbox Talk (also called a tailgate meeting or pre-task safety briefing)
is a short, informal safety discussion held with workers before starting a task. Under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.21,
employers must train workers to recognize and avoid unsafe conditions. Regular toolbox talks are one of the
most effective ways to meet this obligation.
