What are common mistakes in a site induction?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
Common mistakes in site induction include not covering all safety procedures, skipping emergency protocols, and not engaging workers. If the induction's too rushed or too generic, it won't stick. Workers need to understand their roles and the hazards before starting work.
Key points
- Not covering all safety procedures.
- Skipping emergency protocols.
- Not engaging workers.
- Rushed or generic inductions.
Inductions should be thorough and relevant to the specific site conditions. Involve workers in discussions and make sure they understand the risks and procedures. Use real-life examples and encourage questions to improve retention and compliance.
