Toolbox Talks Library
Choose from 100+ toolbox talks
Toolbox Talks comes with a starter pack of pre-loaded talks, perfect for getting started or filling in any gaps in your schedule. We’ve got a range of toolbox talks in English and Spanish—from chainsaw safety to fall prevention.
Upload Talks
Customized safety talks for your projects
With Raken, you can always upload your company’s own safety toolbox talks and access them anytime, anywhere. Our cloud-based storage system is the perfect solution for anyone looking to schedule customized, company-branded and approved safety meeting talks for all their projects.
Digital Signature Capture
Just pass the device around
Raken makes it easy to capture signatures at work: Pass around the phone or tablet and all the signatures are collected digitally and uploaded right into the report.
If you don’t feel like ditching the old workplace sign-in sheet just yet, no worries. You can easily take a photo of the sheet and Raken will automatically include it in your report for that day.
Schedule all your toolbox talks at once
Not sure which superintendents are giving which talks? With Raken, you can bulk schedule talks for entire projects or at the company level before the project even begins. The field superintendent will get the talk delivered right to their app.
Tell the whole story of construction safety
Stay on top of construction safety management with surveys and checklists that give context to what happened throughout the day. You can attach photos and add notes to improve quality control, too.
Notes and Surveys
Capture incidents with all the details
This is your place to capture anything you think the office might want to know that doesn’t quite fit anywhere else in your daily report. Don’t have access to a particular section of the site? See a potential workplace safety hazard down the road? Just make a note of it here and keep the lines of communication open.
Safety Observations
Make a safer jobsite
So you noticed that the rebar wasn’t capped or there wasn’t enough signage near an open trench… snap a photo and add a quick explanation to make sure that everyone is on the same page.
Quality Control
Stay up to standard
Take photos, videos, and add attachments showing the state of the build. If you noticed rust on the metal or rotted wood, make a note of it here and fix the problem before it’s too late.
Safety management by the numbers
The Raken Insights Dashboard gathers data from each of your projects and makes it digestible. Data collected from the field is sorted and organized so you can see the big picture at a glance or drill down for more details.
Toolbox Talks Compliance
Safety records at a glance
See what your overall toolbox talk compliance is, how many are missing, and how many have been completed. You can even filter the data by date range or project.
Safety Incidents
Know when it’s reported
Any incident reported in the checklist automatically shows up in your Insights tab, so you can see which projects are safe and which need a little more attention. It’s a fast, easy way to start making your jobsites safer.
“Toolbox Talks definitely keeps us on track because it's very structured. You can load in what you want talked about and all the crews talk about the same thing that week. Plus, its all documented so we have proof that we did cover that topic.”
