AFME-HS-04 Toolbox Talks Starter Pack
Ten ready-to-deliver toolbox talks for food manufacturing engineering teams, each with key points, discussion questions and an attendance record. Short, regular toolbox talks keep safety and food-safety messages fresh and give engineers a chance to raise real problems. Each talk takes 10 to 15 minutes and is written for shop-floor engineers working in food factories.
