Electrical Safety Toolbox Talk Topic Selection
Electrical safety toolbox talk topic selection is the process of choosing short field-training topics from the hazards actually present on upcoming work. Useful topics for this course include electrical shock, lockout/tagout, extension cords, ladders and falls, PPE condition, confined-space awareness, and hazard recognition, but these short talks should supplement rather than replace any required OSHA training or procedures.
