Posted By Brian Jones We are trying to make our toolbox talks a bit more interesting. The suggestion has come back from some of our safety reps that a short video or presentation, might get people's interest. Does anyone have any suggestions, other than the usual suspects such as "Piper Alfa" etc. Something short and to the point would be good. Thanks Brian

Posted By Ron Hunter Toolbox talks can degenerate into a droll reading to the assembled masses from a script sheet - your safety message then has zero chance of sticking. Inject humour wherever you can, and use props and demonstration subjects to model PPE, postures tool techniques, etc (demo the 'right' and 'wrong'). Maybe your safety reps. will 'volunteer' to participate in these live demos? Otherwise, involve the audience, call for volunteers,and encourage participation.
