How to organise an efficient toolbox meeting?

Training
Maintenance Management

In this training you learn how to give Toolbox meetings in a way that the employees receive the message better and more effectively.

A toolbox meeting is a short meeting with the technicians and/or subcontractors in which the participants are informed or made aware of a certain subject. It may be about safety, health or the environment, but also about issues such as assembly quality, reporting, etc.

Companies that are VCA certified are obliged to hold toolbox meetings. Unfortunately, the participants too often experience a toolbox as an obligatory number or, even worse, as a nice break.

Toolbox

For the company, the toolbox is an expensive affair. A lot of hours are invested without any improvement. For the person who has to give the toolbox, it is not always easy to get the message across correctly.

That's why BEMAS organises a training course on how to make sure the toolbox meeting continues to have a lasting impact...

    • How to ensure that participants actually apply the learning points?

Many practical situations are also dealt with, which are in line with the daily reality and working conditions of the participants. The number of participants is limited, so there is enough room for interactivity and practising the techniques taught.

After this training...

  • You will need less time to prepare a toolbox.
  • You will be able to get the message across better and more effectively.
  • The participants will understand the message of the toolbox better and will feel more involved.
  • You can hold more effective toolbox meetings with technicians.

Attention: This training is NOT a training about the legal and normative background of a toolbox. It is also NOT about knowledge, skills and techniques in accident prevention. The training does focus on how to hold a lasting, practice-oriented and efficient toolbox meeting. You learn how to ensure that your technicians really get to work with the content brought to them.
