Dyspraxia and Coordination Difficulties Toolbox Talk

This dyspraxia workplace safety toolbox talk template provides practical guidance for employers, supervisors and safety officers on managing coordination difficulties in the workplace. It addresses key hazards such as slips, trips, manual handling injuries, equipment misuse and fatigue‑related errors, and supplies clear DO and DON’T recommendations. The template is suitable for a wide range of sectors including manufacturing, construction, retail, office environments, healthcare and hospitality where workers may have dyspraxia or related coordination challenges. Fully editable – you can customise the content, insert company‑specific procedures, adjust risk scores and add site‑specific hazards. Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, Equality Act 2010, Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. Use this toolbox talk for safety briefings, induction training, regular risk reviews and as part of a broader inclusive health‑and‑safety programme. Employers can also link the talk to their existing OHS management system and use it as evidence during audits. The clear layout and visual cues make it easy for staff to understand and retain the safety messages, fostering a proactive safety culture. It also helps organisations meet their duty of care, improve audit readiness and promote a safer, more supportive work environment.
