Why we stop work for five minutes every morning

Every morning, on every site, the crew stops for five minutes before a single tool is switched on.

What happens in a toolbox talk

The superintendent walks through the day: which trades are on site, where the hazards are and who is working at height.

Why it works

Accidents rarely come from the big, planned risks. They come from small changes: a delivery arriving early, a ladder moved, a new face on site.

Since we started daily talks in 2019, recordable incidents have fallen by 60%.

Everyone can stop the job

Any worker, including subcontractors, can stop work if something looks unsafe. Nobody is ever criticised for it.
