TOOLBOX TALK-GENERAL Introduction:- With this toolbox talk we will discuss how to keep a clean and safe office environment. Storage: A common problem found in offices is a lack of  space. But a lack of space should not be used  as an excuse to improperly store boxes, copier  paper, etc. # Storage of Office Materials: # Keep all storage of combustible materials  (cardboard, paper) to an absolute minimum  as they can pose both a fire and trip hazard. # Never store combustibles near electrical  outlets.

ACTUAL INCIDENT A 29-year-old man was shot to death, an apparent victim of road rage. According to newspaper accounts, he had a reputation for never backing down from a fight. The man and his half brother were heading home from a plumbing job when the trouble began. Apparently, three men in another car zoomed in front of their car. These men started hurling profanities and flashing obscene gestures at the brothers, who returned the insults.   Things escalated until a gun was pulled. The man got out of his car and began walking toward the gunman. Two shots rang out, missing the man, who continued to walk toward the gunman until he was shot and killed.
