Toolbox talks for electrician crews
The talks below match the hazards electrician crews actually face: electric shock and arc flash, working near energised services, falls from ladders and ewps, roof cavity work (heat, low light), underground service strikes. Every talk is free and includes a printable sign-on sheet so the meeting is documented.
Electrician-specific talks
Working On or Near Live Electrical
Work on or near energised electrical installations is high risk construction work, and it kills quickly. The rule is simple: work de-energised. Live work is prohibited except in the narrow cases the regulations allow, and even then only with the preliminary steps done first. Test for dead every single time, no matter who told you it was off.

Temporary Power and Leads on Site
Builders supply and extension leads are the most abused electrical gear on any site. They get dragged through water, run over by plant, and joined with tape. Temporary supply on a construction site has its own standard, AS/NZS 3012, because site conditions are harder on gear than a finished building ever will be.
