### 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
