Toolbox Talks

Construction Safety Association of Manitoba has developed a series of 15-minute tailgate training presentations, which are available for contractor's use and duplication. This is a proven effective method of conducting training sessions - especially for those who lack the confidence to "teach." Currently, the following individual programs are available (free of charge).

These Toolbox Talks topics are designed to complement CSAM’s existing and future training programs. CSAM’s prime objective through this resource is to provide quality information and generalized practices to construction employers and employees, in order to reduce both human and financial costs in the construction industry.
