Our bricklaying SWMS pack covers 8 work activities including brick and block laying, stonework installation, retaining wall construction, lintel placement, and working from scaffolding. Each document addresses hazards such as musculoskeletal injuries from repetitive lifting, falls from scaffolding, silica dust from cutting bricks and blocks, and struck-by injuries from falling masonry.

Bricklaying & Masonry Toolbox Talk — Common Questions

How often should toolbox talks be held?

Most WHS guidelines recommend weekly toolbox talks, or before any new high-risk activity begins. Regular talks demonstrate ongoing safety consultation with workers.

What topics do your toolbox talks cover?

Each toolbox talk covers trade-specific hazards, safe work procedures, PPE requirements, and emergency protocols relevant to that trade's activities.

Do toolbox talks include an attendance register?

Yes. Every Toolbox Talk document includes an attendance register for worker sign-off, providing evidence of WHS consultation.

Are toolbox talks a legal requirement?

While not explicitly mandated by name, WHS legislation requires PCBUs to consult with workers on safety matters. Documented toolbox talks are the most common way to demonstrate this consultation.
