Hello all.
I am currently conducting a study in the effectiveness off site safety inductions as part of my architectural engineering degree at loughborough university.
I would just like to get a feel for how those of you who are involved in the inductions in any way, feel they work.
I will be attending a site induction myself to get a feel for how much of the IOSH guidelines a typical (large site) induction covers and how effectively it is delivered.
Any feedback is welcome to stimulate ideas for my channels of research.
Regards
Aaron Lang

IMHO inductions are only effective if there is followup of information retention and consistent implementation of the messages given.
E.g. Hard hats must be worn at all times whilst on site, followed up with site supervisor / manager ensuring theory is applied in practice.
Presentation style is an important factor, dull & boring will not be anywhere as effective as lively & interesting.
As a self confessed student, how often have you sat in a lecture thinking about something else, because the lecturer is droning on.
As too how to measure effectiveness of the induction, may I suggest that you ask a number of attendees what they can remember immediately afterwards, and then the same attendees the same question 1 week & 1 month later. From this I am sure you will then be able to form an opinion on the effectiveness of inductions.

A good induction will also take into account the experience of it's audience.
It is futile, boring and mildly insulting to keep repeating the same old drole about hi viz, steel toe caps and hats to an audience of time-served people ... much better to concentrate on what is unique about this site / contract.
Shock them by giving them useful information up front without waffle.
Of course, you need to have a second session for people new to the industry, but they are now few and far between.
