BE4ALL releases original Toolbox Talks every other month. BE4ALL’s mission is to create a culture of excellence, foster a welcoming work environment for all of our members and retain our skilled workforce. The wide distribution of these Toolbox Talks will help ensure that the entire unionized sheet metal industry has one consistent message — from our training centers, to our jobsites, to our union halls. These Toolbox Talks demonstrate why sheet metal is and should be the “go-to” craft in the construction industry.
The expectation is that these Toolbox Talks will ensure increased worker productivity; reduce bullying, harassment, hazing and discrimination on jobsites; and promote solidarity among our members.
