Heroic Toolbox Topic

The Heroic toolbox topic highlights the risks of trying to “be the hero” on the job—taking shortcuts, bypassing procedures, or stepping into dangerous situations without thinking it through. While the intention may be good, these actions often create more risk for everyone involved. This topic encourages workers to prioritize safety over showing off or proving something, and reminds teams that true leadership is about working smart, following the rules, and looking out for each other.
