Toolbox talks

Toolbox talks that are ready when the crew is.

Choose from 117 ready-to-deliver talks, or add your own. Deliver it on site, record who was there, and the proof is filed before the crew has picked up their tools.

The hard part is finding a topic at 6:45 in the morning

Most toolbox talks fail for one of two reasons. Nobody has anything prepared, so the same topic gets read again, or the talk happens and the sign-in sheet goes missing.

Orientra deals with both. The talks are already written, each with a summary, key points and questions for the crew. Attendance happens on the phone, by name, and the record is stored with the job and the date.

Common questions

How many toolbox talks come with it?

117. They cover topics such as asbestos, silica dust, WHMIS labels, confined space, lockout and working under a load. You can also add your own.

What does a talk include?

A short summary of why it matters, the key points to cover, and questions to ask the crew so it is a conversation and not a reading.

How is attendance recorded?

The person giving the talk picks who was there from your roster, so the record ties to the real person and not to a spelling on a sign-in sheet. It is stored with the date and the site.

Do the talks work outside Manitoba?

Yes. A key point that cites a Manitoba regulation is only shown to companies in Manitoba, so a company in another province is not read somebody else’s law.
