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- The law in plain terms - your rights and duties under Great Britain health and safety legislation- Emergencies, fire safety, first aid, and how to report accidents and near misses- The everyday hazards on almost every site - slips and trips, manual handling, DSE, COSHH, machinery, electricity, working at height, noise, PPE, transport and lone working- Risk assessment and the hierarchy of control, explained simply- Welfare, security and environmental responsibility- Dedicated chapters for new starters, visitors and contractors- Photocopiable appendices: an emergency quick-reference to fill in, a glossary, key legislation, and an induction acknowledgement form for your recordsWho it's for- Employers and managers who need a professional, ready-made induction resource- New employees, agency and temporary staff- Visitors and contractors arriving on site- Anyone responsible for getting people up to speed safelyWritten by a safety practitioner and reflecting current Great Britain health and safety law, this is a reference to read once and keep to hand - at the desk, in the van, or in the induction pack.Hand it to your next starter with confidence.
