What is the primary purpose of a pre-task safety briefing (toolbox talk) on a construction site?
Answer: To communicate daily hazards and controls to workers before work begins
Pre-task briefings communicate site-specific hazards and the controls in place so workers can work safely that day.
Which hierarchy of controls method is considered MOST effective at reducing workplace hazards?
Answer: Elimination of the hazard
Elimination removes the hazard entirely and is ranked highest in the hierarchy of controls because it provides the most reliable protection.
