Give a Toolbox Talk! Toolbox Talks are short and easy on-site trainings that only last approximately 5-15 minutes each.  They can be given at the beginning of the shift.  Workers attending the talk should be encouraged to ask questions and discuss the topic. This increases the likelihood they will remember the information.  Below are some ready-to-use Toolbox Talks from CPWR.  Toolbox Talks on a second topic can also be substituted for another activity later in the week.
