Delivering Online Inductions

To start with, as the name suggests, inductions are delivered online. Contractors, employees and visitors can access a link, register and begin their site induction before they arrive on site. This might be done from their phone, tablet or computer. From there they can access online training induction courses and modules and progress through check lists, assessments, document libraries and more, entirely online.

Who to induct?

Most commonly, organisations induct contractors, employees and visitors who are new and have been engaged by your organisation before they start work. However, it's important to make sure they are re-inducted too! Things change in the workplace and so in order to keep your workforce up to date, re-inductions are typically done annually to ensure all policies, procedures and safety topics are inducted on.

Often you'll also have a different induction for each site. Every workplace has different hazards, different procedures, different access, it's important to ensure if someone is working at a site, they are inducted to work on that specific site.
