What is a Toolbox Talk Template?

A Toolbox Talk Template is a pre-written, reusable format you can use to quickly create new Toolbox Talks in SiteConnect.

Templates are ideal for:

  • Frequently discussed topics (e.g. PPE, working at heights, site hazards)

  • Recurring safety meetings

  • Standardising how talks are structured across your sites or teams

Once created, a template can be edited, cloned, exported, or deleted at any time.

What is a Snippet?

A Snippet is a short, reusable block of content that you can add to any Toolbox Talk Template.

Snippets are perfect for:

  • Common safety reminders

  • Repeating policies or procedures across talks

  • Quickly building new talks using existing content

Think of snippets like building blocks—select the ones you need and arrange them however you like when creating a new Toolbox Talk.


Why Use Templates and Snippets?

Using templates and snippets helps you:

  • Save time by avoiding repetitive writing

  • Maintain consistency across all Toolbox Talks

  • Improve accuracy by reusing approved content

  • Quickly build site-specific talks without starting from scratch
