A toolbox talk template UK sites expect is one page tied to the RAMS for the task in hand: the topic, the hazard as the crew would see it, the control the RAMS names, what to do if it fails, two or three questions and the answers, and every attendee's signature with the date and the presenter. It is the record that the crew were briefed on that control on that day. The risk assessment and method statement tool on this site prints the sign-on block the sheet uses, free and without an account.
Tied to the RAMS
The RAMS reference at the top, so the talk is about a hazard on this site this week rather than a topic from a calendar. The auditor reads the reference first. The talk names the RAMS row it comes from, so the crew hears the control the assessment decided rather than a general subject.
Hazard, control, failure
Three lines in the crew's words, because the talk is minutes. The control is the method's, repeated; the failure line is what to do when the site is not as planned. The failure line is what the crew remembers: what happens if the control is skipped.
Questions and signatures
The questions asked and the answers given, recorded; the signatures with the date. A crew member's question that reveals a gap in the RAMS is the best outcome a talk has, and the sheet records it. The sheet is filed with the RAMS it briefed.
Filed
