Sheet 02 / 02 — Toolbox talks
Toolbox talks without the loose sign-in sheet.
The talk gets delivered properly. It is the record that goes missing — a paper sheet, a photo of a paper sheet, or nothing at all by the time somebody asks.

Sheet 02 / 02 — A
What the talk record holds.
Structured fields, completed the same way every time, so a talk delivered on one site is recorded the same way as a talk delivered on another.
- 01
Talk record
One record for the talk itself, rather than a sheet that lives in a van until it is lost.
- 02
Topic
What the talk covered, recorded in a consistent field so it can be found again.
- 03
Date
When the talk was delivered, captured at the time rather than written up later.
- 04
Attendees
Who was present, recorded against the talk instead of on a separate signing sheet.
- 05
Acknowledgement
A recorded confirmation from each attendee that they received the talk.
- 06
Digital sign-off
Where configured, a signing step recorded against the same talk record.
- 07
Notes
Anything raised during the talk, captured while it is still fresh.
- 08
Supporting records
The talk can be associated with the wider site record for the same period.

Sheet 02 / 02 — B
Deliver it. Record it. Know who acknowledged it.
The talk happens at seven in the morning in the car park. The sign-in sheet ends up in a van. Built Still is designed so the topic, the attendance and the acknowledgement stay attached to the same record.

Sheet 02 / 02 — C
Attendance as a record, not a signature sheet.
Each attendee's acknowledgement sits against the talk, so the record is complete without anyone having to chase a piece of paper.

Built Still records that a talk was delivered and acknowledged. It makes no assessment of whether the content of a talk was appropriate to the work, whether the person delivering it was competent to do so, or whether the talk satisfies any particular requirement.
