Fast-paced projects require fast-paced inductions

How online inductions are helping fit-out companies to increase productivity while putting safety first.

Tight turnarounds, juggling multiple shift patterns, never in one place long enough for a hot coffee. Sound typical?

Shopfitting and refurbishment projects are often fast paced with tight deadlines. Managing these projects requires detailed organisation and streamlined processes.

So, why should their safety inductions be any different?

Recently we’ve been approached by this sector to help streamline their induction processes without compromising on safety.

Below we look at the reasons why so many fit-out and refurbishment companies are changing their manual paper-based induction to an online platform.

Removes the need for site managers to deliver inductions

Online inductions are ideal for those who operate shift patterns, and operatives who work around the clock, both day and night. This is because the inductions are completed in advance, so that they are ready to start work as soon as they arrive on site. Nobody wants to do an induction just as they arrive for their night shift!

Plus, any issues that have been flagged up via the online induction can be reviewed before the contractors arrive on site. For instance, site managers can check that contractors understand the induction, and also that they have the relevant training.

Hours of time can be saved, too: so much so, that in 2020 we estimated that we saved 60 weeks of site managers’ time, and 7 years of contractors’ time! Naturally, this time saved can be used on other tasks, thus helping you to complete your work quicker and more efficiently.

Promotes safe systems of work

Fast paced projects and tight deadlines does not mean cutting corners or compromising on safety.  Safe system of work are rightly prioritised for all of our clients.

Controlling quality and consistency across projects, by providing a consistent safety message to all operatives, that can be monitored at both site and group level is one advantage to using an online induction platform, such as GetOnSite.

Eliminate the need for paper copies

There is no need to search high and low for that bit of paper that you’re absolutely certain you left *just over there* last week. Say goodbye to the mountains of paperwork, and hello to saving the environment by going digital.

Plus, you can find all the information you need at the click of a button – no need to sift through tons of paperwork, when it’s all just a few clicks away.

And the cost?

Introducing a new platform doesn’t mean added cost on your projects. In fact  the time saved by site managers and contractors by hosting inductions online can actually work out saving in the long term.

There is nothing more frustrating than being tied into a monthly contract when you only have weekly projects.

So why not take advantage of our pricing system and get yourself on a weekly contract, for those quick turnaround jobs! Save time, money and more with GetOnSite.
