Health & Safety Training
At GHS, we also offer expert advice on all your training needs, helping you stay compliant across your workforce – including Induction, COSHH, Manual Handling, PPE, and Fire safety.
Induction training is a legal requirement that ensures new employees understand their roles, risks, and safety procedures before they start work.
Induction training covers essentials like emergency actions, fire safety, PPE, accident reporting, and job-specific hazards — helping staff stay safe and confident from day one.
Critical in high-risk sectors like farming, food processing, manufacturing, and construction, Induction training supports legal compliance, reduces incidents, and builds a strong safety culture.
GHS offers bespoke Induction Training tailored to your business needs.
Induction training is essential for introducing new employees to their roles, responsibilities, and the health and safety procedures within a workplace. It is legally required under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. These laws state that employers must provide adequate information, instruction, and training to ensure the safety and well-being of employees.
Induction training covers key areas such as emergency procedures, fire safety, accident reporting, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and the specific hazards related to the job. It ensures that workers understand how to carry out their duties safely and what to do in the event of an incident. The training must take place before the employee begins work, especially if they are exposed to any risks.
By completing induction training, employers demonstrate compliance with legal duties and reduce the likelihood of accidents, injuries, and legal action. It also supports a strong safety culture and gives employees the confidence to perform their roles effectively. In high-risk industries such as farming, food processing, manufacture and construction, induction training is particularly critical to ensuring everyone remains safe and compliant from day one.
