Do you need a way to engage your employees about safety?

Start Improving your Toolbox Talk Engagement Levels

Being able to successfully run a toolbox talk, is not just a legislative requirement, it's also a yardstick as to how well your organisation performs at safety.


Various studies show that supervisors drive your safety performance.  Importantly, workplaces that empower staff to talk freely about safety, have fewer accidents.

But how do you train your supervisors to improve their communication and engagement skills?

Introducing: The 9 Creative Communication Techniques to Improve your Toolbox Talks Training DVD

This new training DVD course is based upon the latest up-to-date research results combined with real-world experience.  The complete DVD training set allows your company the ability to train all of your supervisors on the techniques required to improve communication, engagement and compliance during your toolbox meetings.

But it's not just about learning how to run a toolbox meeting more effectively, it's also about understanding the importance of being a supervisor and how supervisor behaviour influences the behaviour of those around them.

This unique, high quality training video has been designed to:

  • Improve group connection, so that staff at all levels feel that they are able to talk freely about their safety concerns, resulting in a decrease in injuries and incorrect reporting.
  • Increase the enjoyment, engagement and safety outcomes from toolbox meetings by using a Toolbox Template, so that staff enjoy attending and supervisors enjoy leading.
  • Improve your safety culture, by making supervisors aware of their 7 critical behaviours that influence how others behave and think about safety in the workplace.
  • Provide supervisors with 9 Creative Communication techniques, in order to get people, talking, collaborating, engaging and accepting personal accountability towards safety.

Who is it For?

This course is vital to supervisors who want to improve their ability to communicate and engage on safety matters, including making others more accountable for safety. 

It is beneficial for companies who want to change their safety culture or who realise that their supervisors are not leading staff or safety meetings effectively.
