Toolbox Talk - Safety and Security at
Introduction: Good morning! Today, we're going to discuss some critical safety and security
measures here at Law Commercials, particularly focusing on the workshop environment. The
goal is to maintain a safe workplace for everyone.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)





High Visibility Overalls: Ensure you wear high-vis overalls at all times in the
workshop. This helps make everyone visible and promotes a safer working
environment.
Safety Boots: Protect your feet with appropriate safety boots. They provide
necessary support and safeguard against potential hazards.
Gloves: Wear gloves to protect your hands from cuts, abrasions, and chemicals.
Eye Protection: It's crucial to wear eye protection, especially when using abrasive
equipment. Safety glasses or goggles are a must to prevent eye injuries.
Ear Protection: In areas with loud machinery or prolonged noise exposure, use ear
protection. This is vital to prevent hearing damage.
Site Security



Public Access: Do not allow the public to enter the garage area. If someone from the
public needs assistance, direct them to the office. The workshop is off-limits for their
safety and yours.
Employee Responsibility: All employees share the responsibility of ensuring site
security. If you notice anyone in the workshop who shouldn't be there, kindly guide
them to the office.
Vehicle Entry Protocol: When moving vehicles in and out of the workshop, ensure
that the area is clear of pedestrians. Use caution signals and have a spotter if
needed.
Mobile Phone Usage




Driving and Operating Machinery: Using a mobile phone while driving or operating
machinery significantly reduces attention and reaction times. This can lead to
accidents, injuries, or even fatalities.
Task Interruptions: Constant notifications and calls can interrupt tasks, affecting the
quality of our work and potentially leading to errors.
Site Rules: Mobile phones should not be used in the workshop. Distractions can lead
to accidents. Keep your focus on the task at hand, and if you need to use your
phone, step out of the workshop area.
Company Policies: It's essential to recognize the potential dangers associated with
using mobile phones at work. Familiarize yourself with and adhere to company
policies regarding mobile phone use. Ignoring these policies can lead to disciplinary
actions and compromise your safety and the safety of others.
Housekeeping
The importance of housekeeping in the workplace. A clean and organized workspace is not just
about appearances; it directly impacts your safety and overall well-being. Let's discuss some key
points to ensure we maintain a tidy and safe working environment.

Preventing Slips, Trips, and Falls: Clean Up Spills Promptly: Accidents often result
from slippery surfaces. If you notice a spill, take a moment to clean it up. Secure
Loose Cables and Wires: Ensure all cables and wires are neatly secured to prevent
tripping hazards.
Shared Responsibility: Maintaining a clean and organized workspace is everyone's
responsibility. This includes keeping tools in their designated places, cleaning up
spills promptly, and disposing of waste properly.
Clear Workbenches and Surfaces: A clutter-free workbench enhances efficiency and
reduces the risk of accidents. Clear your workspace at the end of each task.
Safe Working Conditions: A clutter-free environment promotes a safer workspace.
Let's all play a role in keeping our workplace tidy.
Tool Inspection: Regularly inspect and report any damaged or malfunctioning tools
and equipment. Don't use tools that are in disrepair.
Conclusion
Remember, each of you plays a crucial role in maintaining a safe and secure working
environment. By following these guidelines and being aware, everyone can contribute to
the well-being of themselves and their colleagues. If you have any questions or concerns,
feel free to discuss them with your supervisor or myself.
Stay safe, and let's ensure remains a secure and productive place to work!
