Yesterday, The American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) and CPWR -- The Center for Construction Research and Training released a collection of construction safety materials known as the Safety Toolbox Talks. This collection of 52 Toolbox Talks has been available in English-only for just over two years and is widely used on construction sites across the country, with more than 100,000 downloads in the first year alone.

The Safety Toolbox Talks are guides designed to easily disseminate safety and health information in the workplace. They incorporate effective elements, identified through NIOSH research, like case studies, discussion questions, and site-specific actions to promote a safety culture. They cover 52  topics relevant to the construction industry including: biohazard safety,  carbon monoxide poisoning, confined spaces, fall protection, eye protection, silica, trench safety, workplace stress among others. The Safety Toolbox Talks provide content for a year of weekly on-site discussions.
