Health and Safety Induction Handbook: The Field Guide to Working Safely
The safety induction your people will actually read.
Most induction packs are forgotten before the first kettle has boiled - too long, too dense, too far from the work people really do. This handbook was built to be different: short enough to read, clear enough to remember, and honest about what actually keeps people safe.
In plain English, it takes every new starter, visitor and contractor through what matters from day one - what to do in an emergency, how to spot and control everyday hazards, and the one habit that prevents almost every incident: if something doesn't look right, say so.
What's inside
