Brilio.net - In the world of work, safety is very important and must be prioritized. One way to ensure safety in the work environment is through Safety Induction.
What is Safety Induction?
Safety Induction is a training process given to all employees regarding safety. One easy step is to provide personal protective equipment (PPE) for employees.
Through Safety Induction, employees will be educated about the importance of safety procedures, potential hazards that may occur, and company regulations related to work safety. This training is important to build a strong safety culture in the company and reduce the risk of accidents or unwanted incidents.
Usually, Safety Induction is given to new employees or contract workers before they start working in a company or project. It also includes occupational safety and health (K3). In high-risk work environments such as factories or construction sites, Safety Induction helps to increase safety awareness among employees.

What are the steps for preparing a Safety Induction?
1. Identify training needs
Determine what new employees or contract workers need to know about workplace safety. This includes potential hazards, emergency procedures, and the use of PPE.
2. Development of training materials
Create training materials that cover all aspects of safety relevant to the company's work environment. Use a variety of formats, such as presentations, videos, and practical simulations, to ensure that the material is easy to understand.
3. Organizing training
Conduct Safety Induction training in an interesting and interactive way to ensure that employees understand and remember the information delivered. Involve an experienced occupational safety expert or instructor to provide quality training.
4. Evaluation and feedback
After the training, conduct an evaluation to assess employee understanding of the material presented. Ask for employee feedback to see if there are any areas that need improvement or addition.
5. Updates and repetitions
Safety Induction is not a one-time activity. Update the training program periodically to include changes in safety procedures or new regulations. Also, repeat the training regularly to ensure all employees are aware of workplace safety.
