One toolbox talk, one page, ready to print. The sign-in sheet is on the same sheet as the talk, so the meeting and your training record are one piece of paper.

Hands are how we make a living, and hands are what construction eats most. Almost every smashed finger has the same story: it was somewhere it didn't need to be, for just a second.

Talk it through

Know where the pinch points are before the load, the door, the plate, or the pipe moves. Steel doesn't give. Fingers do.
Never put your hand where you can't see it. Blind spots hide edges, blades, and moving parts.

3 more talking points are on the sheet.

Walk the job

Look at today's tasks and name the two worst pinch points out loud with the crew before work starts.

Ask the crew

Where's the last place somebody here smashed a finger?
What are we moving today that could take a hand?

Reference printed on the sheet: OSHA 1926 Subpart I, tools, hand protection
