7 reasons to ditch paper sign-in sheets for toolbox talks

Give the toolbox talk, let everyone sign on the tablet or laptop, and the register keeps itself: who attended which talk, when, and who is overdue for a refresher. Toolbox Talk Register replaces the paper sign-in sheets with an offline app, a training matrix and 18 ready-to-use UK construction topics.

The list

Why a ready-made app beats paper and a blank spreadsheet

01

Today screen

Who needs a talk (overdue, never had a required talk, refresher due soon) with Give this talk in one tap

Signatures on the screen with a finger

04

Checks before saving

No future dates, a presenter, a topic and at least one attendee, and no duplicate of the same talk on the same day

05

18 ready UK construction topics with key points

(site induction, working at height, asbestos, silica dust, manual handling, emergency procedures, COSHH, mental health and more); edit them, set refresher periods and mark which are required for everyone

06

Training matrix

Every person against every topic, colour coded in date, due soon and overdue; filter by company

07

People list with company and role

Mark leavers so they drop off the matrix but stay in old records

Is it right for you?

Made for some, honestly not for others

A good fit if you…

  • small builders, contractors, subcontractors and site managers who give regular toolbox talks and need proof for clients, principal contractors or an HSE visit
  • want something that works offline, on a desktop browser or Android
  • want to pay once, not another subscription

Not for you if you…

  • you need workers to sign in on their own phones with a QR code
  • if several supervisors must share one live register across devices
  • if you need an app on iPhone or iPad

FAQ

Questions people ask

Is this enough for CDM 2015?

It is a record of the talks you give and who attended. It does not replace your construction phase plan, risk assessments or competent health and safety advice.

Can workers sign on their own phones?

No. Pass the tablet or laptop round, or tick Signed on a printed sheet and print the sign-in sheet.

Can I add my own talks?

Yes. Add a topic with your own key points, category, refresher period and whether it is required for everyone.

What happens after I pay?

This is a digital product. Nothing physical will be shipped. Your download link appears straight after checkout and is also emailed to you.

Can I get help if I'm stuck?

Yes. Message us at info@phkmedia.co.uk and we'll help you set it up.
