Introduction
Manage toolbox talks in Dashpivot with digital sign-off, automatic record storage, and real-time compliance tracking. Replace paper and spreadsheets with a streamlined process your whole team can use on site from any device.
How it works
Key Features
Consistent sign-off — Manage the way toolbox talks are filled in, signed off, and recorded across your entire company
Scan and sign — Scan Sitemate IDs of workers to automatically stamp their name, company, and signature onto the toolbox talk, along with the time and location of the scan
Automatic register — Generate a register of all toolbox talks to support compliance audits
Analytics — Generate charts that auto-update in real time in the analytics section to track form creation, frequency, and compliance across projects
Mobile and tablet — Allow your workforce to fill out toolbox talks using the Dashpivot app, available for iOS and Android
Cloud access — Access all toolbox talk records from anywhere via the Dashpivot website or mobile app
Best Practices
Include a Scan and Sign table at the bottom of the toolbox talk so attendees can sign on using their Sitemate ID — much faster than paper or manual signature fields
Add a manual signature field as a backup for anyone without a Sitemate ID
Include a photo field to record specific site conditions
Include a sketch field so diagrams can be added directly to the form
In the template settings, sort forms by the date on the form rather than the creation date

Using Storm AI Templates
You can use Storm to generate a toolbox talk template tailored to your site or project.
Open your template library and select Add Template, then choose Build with AI
Describe what you need, for example:
"Create a toolbox talk template for a civil construction site with an attendance table, hazard identification section, and Scan and Sign sign-off"
💡 You can also use the voice recorder to describe your requirements instead of typing. Review Storm's output in the template editor before publishing.
FAQs
Can workers sign off on a toolbox talk from their phone?
Yes — workers can complete and sign off toolbox talks using the Dashpivot mobile app on iOS or Android.
How are toolbox talk records stored?
All completed toolbox talks are stored securely in the cloud and automatically sorted. They can be searched, shared, printed, downloaded, or exported at any time.
Can I track how often toolbox talks are being completed?
Yes — use the analytics section to generate charts showing how often forms are created, by whom, and across which projects.
Do attendees need a Sitemate account to sign off?
No — attendees can sign using a manual signature field. However, adding a Scan and Sign table allows workers with a Sitemate ID to sign on faster by scanning their digital profile.
Can I use an existing toolbox talk template?
Yes — free templates are available in the Dashpivot template library under Templates > Add Template > Browse free templates.
