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.

3 more talking points are on the sheet.
Walk the job
If there's an open excavation on or near this job, look at it from a safe spot. Check protection, access, and spoil distance.
Reference printed on the sheet: OSHA 1926 Subpart P, excavations
The whole year
