Hold a toolbox talk and record attendance
Who attended the talk, and whose attendance still needs attention?
The team lead works from topic and attendance. The record makes topic and date clear to the next person.

What we prepare togetherThe relevant resources are available for the tasks that use them.
- 02
Agree the responsibilities
Confirm team lead and assigned team member for this method, then choose the people eligible to receive its work.
What we prepare togetherThe method names who contributes, reviews and receives the next work.
- 03
Walk through the selected route
Walk through these conditional steps: “Confirm attendance”; “Follow up a concern raised in the talk”.
What we prepare togetherYour team sees the response and the resulting next step before extending the method.

Your questions
Prepare the method for your team
What stays with the recorded response?
The response for this occurrence retains topic, date, attendees (roster), absent, questions raised and photo of the huddle. It belongs to the work being reviewed, rather than replacing a different occurrence's record.
Which materials do we need to bring?
Bring topic and attendance. We use those choices to prepare the working context, then check that each task opens the material it needs.
How do the conditional steps become part of the method?
The conditional route is used when the individual confirmation variant is selected. Select the variant or respond to the recorded condition before treating that step as required.
What is the outcome for the wider workflow?
Talk recorded with its roster for the period; concerns are cases or answered; absentees visible to the lead.
