Weekly Toolbox Talk: Struck by Moving Objects

STRUCK BY MOVING OBJECTS   

Probably the most unpredictable type of accident is being struck by a moving object, because it is usually out of the routine.  

What do you look out for? What do you have to guard against? You should be careful at blind intersections in and around the worksite, and look out for stacked materials, equipment, sharp objects, overhead work and hidden debris. Rolls or pipes improperly stacked and unguarded can give way and roll into you, causing serious consequences.  Always barricade materials to keep traffic away from them and aware of hazards.  

Weekly Toolbox Talk: Material Handling

You will need to demonstrate material handling with at least two different sizes of rock: refer to weight/loading information listed below that was obtained from our suppliers. You will need to demonstrate manual handling of studs and track of different gauges and types. Please read and cover the points addressed in this Tool Box Talk.

Make sure you wear gloves when handling metal: use this opportunity to review the importance of proper hand protection with your crew.
