Insect Bites & Stings – Toolbox Talk
Stings and bites are more than an irritation—they’re a medical risk. This Insect Bites & Stings Toolbox Talk prepares your crew to prevent, identify, and respond to insect exposures on the job, especially in high-risk outdoor environments.
From ticks that carry Lyme disease to wasp stings that trigger anaphylaxis, this talk covers seasonal hazards that too often get overlooked until it’s too late.
