Frequently Asked Questions
What is FlexManager's Toolbox Talks module?
Toolbox Talks is FlexManager’s module for delivering and tracking safety talks on site, whether scheduled or called on the spot. It uses NFC check-in and electronic signatures to capture attendance, draws from a topic library, and generates reports on attendance, topics and session duration.
Can I deliver a toolbox talk that wasn't scheduled in advance?
Yes. Toolbox Talks is built for scenarios that can’t be planned for in advance, not just talks scheduled ahead of time. The information and materials you need are available on demand, so an impromptu session can still be delivered and recorded the same way as a scheduled one.
How is attendance recorded?
Attendance is recorded using NFC tags for quick, accurate check-in, paired with electronic signature capture directly on-site. Together, this replaces paper sign-in sheets with a clear digital record of exactly who attended a given talk, and when they signed in.
Can I access a library of topics to talk through?
Yes. Toolbox Talks includes a library of topics and materials, categorized for different safety scenarios, so a relevant talk is always ready to go. This means a supervisor doesn’t need to prepare content from scratch before delivering a talk on-site.
Can attendance records be accessed from mobile and desktop?
Yes. Attendance records captured on a mobile device on-site sync with desktop seamlessly, so there’s no need to re-enter the same information back at the office. This keeps records consistent whether they’re reviewed from the field or from a desk.
What kind of reporting does the module provide?
Toolbox Talks generates reports covering attendance, the topics covered and how long each session ran. This gives supervisors and HSEQ teams a clear record of what’s actually been delivered across sites, rather than relying on individual paper sign-in sheets to piece it together.
