People new to a job or work location are particularly vulnerable to having accidents. This is because they may not know what hazards are present or the systems in place to control risks. Induction training can be a useful way of getting key messages over and making sure people start out with the right knowledge and attitude.
Induction training should cover the following:
* Health and safety policy;
* The main hazards present;
* Risks and control measures;
* Safety rules;
* Use of PPE;
* Supervision arrangements;
* Emergency procedures;
* First aid arrangements;
* Welfare facilities;
* Reporting incidents.
A tour of relevant parts of the premises, pointing out hazards, safe routes, emergency call points and muster locations can be particularly useful.
