Site induction builder
Build a site-specific induction covering the hazards, rules and emergency arrangements for your project, with an optional comprehension check and a sign-on register.
A site induction is not the white card
The general construction induction card (the white card) is national, portable and issued once. It covers generic construction safety awareness and a worker carries it from job to job for the rest of their career.
A site induction is the opposite. It is specific to one project, delivered before a person first goes to work there, and it covers the things the white card cannot possibly know: where this site’s hazards are, how this site’s traffic moves, where the assembly point is, who the first aiders are, and what the rules are here.
Treating the white card as a substitute for the site induction is a common and consequential mistake. A worker with a valid card knows what a hazard is. They do not know that the eastern boundary is a live rail corridor or that deliveries reverse across the pedestrian route between seven and nine.
Why this induction shares language with the SWMS
The hazard descriptions in this tool are deliberately the same as the ones in our SWMS generator. That is not laziness. It is the point.
When the induction describes a hazard one way and the SWMS a worker signs describes it another, the worker has to reconcile two documents that are supposed to be saying the same thing. In practice they reconcile them by ignoring one. Usually the induction, because it happened weeks ago.
Consistent language across the induction, the SWMS and the toolbox talks means the site is telling people one story about its risks. That is worth more than any individual document being better written.
The comprehension check, and its limits
The optional check asks a handful of questions with model answers. Its value is not that it proves comprehension. A person can pass a six-question quiz and still not have absorbed anything.
Its value is that it surfaces the specific things you most need people to have heard: where to assemble, who to call, what stops work. If someone gets the assembly point wrong, that is worth knowing before there is a reason to use it.
It also creates a record that the material was actually delivered rather than handed over as a PDF. Both matter, but they matter for different reasons, and it is worth being clear which one you are relying on.
Induction is a moment, not a document
The failure mode is treating the induction as something to be issued. A pack emailed to a subcontractor the night before, signed at the gate without being read, filed and never mentioned again.
The parts that actually change behaviour are the site walk, the person delivering it being someone the worker will see again, and the rules being enforced afterwards. A site that inducts people into a rule it does not enforce has taught them that the rules are optional, which is worse than not having mentioned it.
Re-induct when the site changes materially: a new stage, a new access route, a new high-risk activity nearby. The original induction described a site that no longer exists.
