    SiteKiln — Your rights on site. In plain English.
    SiteKiln

    Run a toolbox talk your team will actually remember, and a sheet HSE will accept.

    For site supervisors tired of downloading generic PDFs nobody reads. Pick from 20 pre-written topics or write your own, get a signed sign-in sheet.

    Toolbox talks are expected on every commercial site and increasingly on larger domestic jobs. If someone gets hurt, one of the first things HSE asks is "Was there a briefing? Where's the record?"

    Pick a topic from the library or write your own, add your attendees, download the signed record. No charge, no signup.

    Disclaimer: This tool helps you record toolbox talks. It does not replace formal training or competence assessment. The talk outlines provided are starting points — adapt them to your specific site and job.

    Talk Details

    What the law actually says

    • The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 requires you to provide such information, instruction and training as is necessary. Toolbox talks are the standard way of evidencing it.
    • Records must be retained and produced on request to HSE. A signed attendance sheet per talk is the minimum.
    • Generic talks delivered in three minutes don't pass. Site-specific content and a real conversation does.
