Reason for Talk What is good for the site is good for you Main Points General. ♦ Sites should be fenced all around with recognised access points, and signs should be displayed warning that it is a construction site and that entry is prohibited. ♦ Plant and equipment should be locked away out of sight where practicable, and disabled/secured in situ where not practicable. ♦ Never leave keys in any plant when unattended. ♦ Hazardous substances on site that may be readily familiar to site employees can pose a serious risk to unauthorised persons who have not encountered them before - lock them away. ♦ Consider methods of access control based upon the scale and type of site (this may comprise a simple sign telling persons to report to the site manager, or could be a manned access point - note this may also provide a method of monitoring who is on site for emergency purposes).
♦ Remove ladders from scaffolding, walls, etc, or board up at the end of each working day. ♦ Whilst trespassers, including children, should be challenged and either escorted off site or introduced to the site manager, avoid putting yourself in a position where you could be accused of assault.

This Toolbox Talk Guidance Note and Form is about Site Security. Construction sites attract children looking for adventure and thieves looking to steal plant and equipment. It is important, therefore, that sites are made secure in order to protect the public. This talk covers the things you will need to do to make sure your site is secure such as ensuring your ladders and plant. The concept of Toolbox Talks is that a short talk is delivered to the workforce approximately once a week, to remind them and update them on health and safety issues. Here are some guidelines on how the talk should be delivered:- Choice of Toolbox topic: choose a topic that is relevant to your audience; there is little point in talking about office safety to a group of ground workers. You could choose a talk related to an incident from the news; something that happened on site recently; new work processes; hazards, or in the absence of any particular circumstances, pick a talk from the list.
SITE SECURITY- TOOLBOX TALK. Reason for Talk. What is good for the site is good for you. ♦ Sites should be fenced all around with recognised access points, and signs should be displayed warning that it is a construction site and that entry is prohibited.
Location: The talk does not have to be given in an office; a mess-room or workshop area will suffice. It does, however, need to be somewhere quiet where you can hold a conversation easily. Size of audience: Between 4 and 10 workers will be the most effective. Duration: the duration should be limited to 10-15 minutes. Try not to become side-tracked on other issues; choose your topic and stick to it. If other issues are raised, consider them for the next talk. Approach: Use a questioning approach, get the message across and listen to the responses.
Toolbox talks are not lectures and are designed to get people to think and talk about Health, Safety and Environmental issues. Think of them as a refresher course, reminding the workforce of what they should already know.
Try to generate interest in the topic with questions, such as “What are the hazards from the incident described?” or “What precautions should be taken in these circumstances?” - Highlight some key words as a reminder to yourself - Avoid just reading the notes on your topic. Do not allow the group to get side tracked, if it is important and relevant, allow a short discussion off topic then bring the discussion back to the main issue. Signatures: obtain signatures from all attendees to keep on file.
