“Holiday Safety Toolbox Talks are brief safety discussions held on the job, usually at the start of a shift or before a task. They focus specifically on hazards that become more common or more severe during the holiday period, such as:
Winter weather and slippery surfaces
Increased traffic and travel risks
Fatigue from overtime, parties, or long trips
Electrical and fire hazards from decorations and heaters
Stress, distraction, and rushing to “get it all done”
Slips and falls from wet, icy, or cluttered walkways
Falls from ladders while hanging decorations
Vehicle incidents during holiday travel
Burn injuries from hot surfaces and cooking equipment
Electrical fires from overloaded outlets”
