Tiling work involves significant silica dust exposure from cutting tiles, chemical exposure from adhesives and grouts, and ergonomic hazards from prolonged kneeling and manual handling of heavy tiles.

Our tiling SWMS pack covers 8 activities including floor tiling, wall tiling, wet area waterproofing and tiling, large-format tile installation, tile cutting operations, and grouting. Documents address hazards such as crystalline silica dust from tile cutting, manual handling of heavy large-format tiles, chemical exposure from epoxy grouts, and slip hazards on wet surfaces.

Tiling 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.
