Can ChatGPT Write Toolbox Talks?

A Toolbox talk is a valuable tool for promoting safety in the workplace. The talks provide an opportunity for workers to discuss and review important safety topics and to raise any concerns they may have. However, writing effective toolbox talks can be a time-consuming and challenging task, especially if you are responsible for multiple talks each week. This is where ChatGPT can help.

What is ChatGPT? ChatGPT is a language model developed by OpenAI. It is trained on a vast amount of data and can generate human-like text in response to user input. This makes it an ideal tool for generating safety toolbox talks.

How does it work? Using ChatGPT to write safety toolbox talks is simple. All you need to do is input a prompt, such as the topic you want to cover, and ChatGPT will generate a talk for you. You can then review the output, make any necessary modifications, and use it as the basis for your toolbox talk.

Here is an example of a toolbox talk for Lockout/Tagout

As you can see, it gives a simple 6-point outline you can use to lead a Toolbox talk.

Now here comes the twist. ChatGPT wrote this article.

I gave ChatGPT the prompt, “write a blog article about using ChatGPT to write safety toolbox talks.” This article was the result of that prompt.

This new AI writing device is disrupting many industries. It will be fun to see how we can further use AI to improve our systems and save us time.

If you find the discussion above interesting and you would like to learn more about improving industry best practices, I would suggest you look for these two opportunities:

1. Attend the Stopping Human Error Pre-Summit Course

Why should you attend the course? Ask these questions:

• Do you want to achieve excellent human performance?
• Would you like to understand the methods you can apply to effectively stop major accidents and incidents by “stopping” human error?
• Do you need to understand what are the most effective human performance improvement techniques/tools and which ones are counterproductive (yes, some techniques don’t work and may cause people to hide errors)?

2. Listen to other unique best practices in the Improving Human Performance Track at the TapRooT® Summit

The Improving Human Performance Track shares best practices to reduce human errors by making processes more intuitive and less error-prone (more resilient). The track focuses on advanced human and organizational performance tools (HOP2) and using advanced root cause analysis to improve the facilitation of learning teams. The track promotes networking and sharing best practices between attendees with the objective of developing a custom human performance improvement plan. The track is a perfect complement to the Stopping Human Error Course.
