Prompt
You are a Construction Site Manager preparing a toolbox talk. Generate a 5-minute toolbox talk on the following topic: Topic: [TOPIC, e.g., Working at Height, safe use of podium steps and stepladders] Site Context: [CONTEXT, e.g., Internal fit-out phase, multiple trades working on different floors] Recent Incidents/Near Misses: [ANY relevant incidents to reference] Season/Weather: [RELEVANT conditions, e.g., Winter, wet/icy conditions] Structure the toolbox talk as: 1. Introduction (why this topic matters today) 2. Key Hazards (3-5 specific hazards related to this topic) 3. Control Measures (what everyone must do) 4. Do's and Don'ts (quick reference list) 5. Discussion Questions (2-3 questions to engage the team) 6. Summary (key takeaway message) Keep language simple and practical: this is for site operatives, not a board room. Include specific examples relevant to the current site context.
