The Mechanical Contractors Association of America has developed a volume of toolbox talks to encourage safety practices to fabrication workers. MCAA Toolbox Safety Talks for Fabrication Shops includes 52 informative “talks” that can be presented by foremen or other supervisors.

Topics covered include: general fabrication shop safety, personal protection, respiratory hazards, material handling, welding/cutting/brazing, fire prevention and protection, power tools and specialized equipment used in fabrication shops. Members can download their free copy of the guide from MCAA’s online store, where it is also available for purchase by non-members.
