Falls & Ladders toolbox talks

Two inches is a hole. Twice the load, secured, and marked HOLE or COVER — the three things a cover must be.

Six feet, low-slope versus steep, warning lines and monitors — what each roof actually allows.

Boom lift: harness attached to the boom or basket. Scissor lift: the guardrail. Two machines, two rules.

The top step, the spreaders, and the folded stepladder leaned against a wall — what OSHA actually says.

The 4-to-1 rule, 3 feet above the landing, footing and tie-off — the five minutes before anyone climbs.

The 10-foot rule, the pre-shift competent person inspection, planking and access — with 5 discussion questions.

The 6-foot trigger, the ABC of a fall arrest system, clearance below, and the rescue nobody planned.

Setup angle, 3 ft above the landing, three points of contact, inspection — with discussion questions.
