Toolbox Talk: Welcoming a New Crew Member

A 7-minute toolbox talk for the whole crew on the day a new member starts: five hazards, watching out for the new person, and speaking up.

You will be able to

  • Introduce the new crew member and the buddy who will watch out for them.
  • Review five pavement crew hazards in the crew's own words.
  • Remind the whole crew that anyone can report a hazard without being punished.
