The ease of inducting contractors onto new and existing sites, via the GetOnSite system, has helped Aqua to deliver affordable housing at a crucial time. Our choice of updating our induction system to a fully online one was the right way to go.

How including a video in your induction can benefit your business

Including a short engaging video in your induction can help inductees understand important safety information.

Benefits include:

• Boosts understanding of complex safety topics
• Enables you to explain more in a shorter space of time
• Delivers a consistent message every time
• Retains contractor’s interest
• Effective for new starters, existing contractors and visitors

We provide full editing with professional voiceovers and sound, and the finished video is yours to own for use wherever you choose. If you’re thinking of updating your induction, take a look at the two video options or get in touch for more information.
