Frequently asked questions

How long should a toolbox talk last?

Duration should be appropriate to the hazard, task complexity and workers' understanding, rather than an arbitrary fixed number.

Does a signature prove competence?

No. Competence and required training must be established through the appropriate methods and evidence.
