# Toolbox Talks

**Effective safety communication always begins with your message.** The message is the safety information you want to transfer to your workforce, irrespective of their job role. Clear safety messages:

**ENSURES** all workers are aware of the identified safety hazards, and know what to do to overcome them.

**CREATES** trust between workers that safety hazards can be identified and fixed.

**REMINDS** workers that there are safe ways of doing work, and to watch for safety hazards.
