WHS (OHS) Induction Training Adelaide
- Built from your own systems, site and procedures
- Confirmed to have landed, not just signed for
- Company and site-specific inductions, delivered on site
Induction Training That Is a Real Handover
An induction that could be delivered at any business, to anyone, about anything, has not inducted anyone into your workplace. It’s handed over information, not a working understanding of your systems, your site and what’s expected once the session ends.
The question worth asking is what a new starter actually knows on day two that they didn’t know from a generic slide deck alone, and whether anyone has ever checked.

What Induction Training
With WLSS Covers
Your Site, Walked
Where the assembly point is, which equipment has a history, where the hazards sit. The induction happens in the workplace, not in a room about it.
Your Systems and Procedures
Legislation, roles and responsibilities, company policies and industry requirements, using your own procedures as the content rather than a template with your logo added.
Emergency and Reporting, Specifically
Who a hazard is reported to in your business, what happens in an emergency on your site, and where to go. Named people and real places.
Confirmed, Not Just Signed
The handover is checked against your site before the job is considered finished, so a signature on the sheet means something.
What a Generic Induction Quietly Fails to Transfer
A generic induction covers the topics every induction is supposed to cover: emergency procedures exist, hazards should be reported, PPE is required in some areas. All true, and none of it specific enough to tell a new starter where the nearest assembly point is, who they report a hazard to in your business, or which piece of equipment on your site has a history of causing problems.
A new starter who has sat through a generic session and one who has genuinely been shown your workplace can look identical on a sign-in sheet and be in completely different positions the first time something goes wrong.
Why Inductions Quietly Drift Over Time
Every new starter is, for a period, the person on your site least familiar with what could hurt them. An induction that transfers information without confirming it’s landed leaves that period longer than it needs to be, and the cost doesn’t show up in the induction paperwork. It shows up later, in an incident that traces back to something a proper handover would have covered.
The person who ends up running inductions in most businesses is whoever has been there longest and has a spare hour. Over time, what gets handed down drifts: a shortcut here, a step skipped there, each new starter shown a slightly different version of “how things are done” depending on who walked them around that week. Nobody notices, because every induction still produces a signed form.
How We Make Induction Training Work
Tell us about your site and your systems
Your procedures, your emergency arrangements, your reporting lines and the parts of the site that need calling out. If you already run an induction, we start from what it covers and what it misses.
We build the induction from your own material
Company and site-specific content drawn from your existing systems, not a template. Different roles, sites or visitor types get the version they need.
Walk it through, on site
The induction is delivered in your workplace, walking the site, with the people and places named. New starters and re-inductions for existing staff alike.
Confirm it landed, record it
We check the handover took, not just that a session took place, and you hold the record of who was inducted, on what and when.
Why WLSS for Induction Training
WLSS builds every induction from your existing systems rather than a template with your logo added, using your own site, your own equipment and your own procedures as the content, not a generic overview that happens to be delivered inside your building. This is what “implement, not dump and run” means in practice: we don’t hand you an induction module and leave. We build the handover, walk it through, and confirm it’s landed before considering the job finished.
It also means the induction stops depending on whichever staff member has time that week. Ask whoever currently runs your induction whether a new starter has ever been tested against your specific site, or only asked to sign that a session took place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on what an induction covers and how it is delivered.
What topics does the induction cover?
WHS legislation, roles and responsibilities, company policies, emergency procedures and the specific requirements of your industry, all built on your own site and systems rather than delivered as a general overview.
Is the induction tailored to our workplace?
Always. Company inductions and site-specific inductions are built from your existing procedures, your site and your equipment, including the specific needs of schools and specialised operations.
Can you re-induct existing staff?
Yes. Re-training existing team members is part of the service, whether because the site has changed, procedures have changed, or the original induction was generic and never checked.
Is an induction the same as a WHS system?
No. An induction is the handover into your system; it doesn’t replace one. If your induction is currently standing in for a system, that’s a gap worth naming. We’ve written about it: why an induction is not a WHS system.
How is the training priced?
Fixed, upfront pricing, customised to the number of attendees and your specific requirements. No surprises.
Do you offer support after the induction?
Yes. WLSS provides ongoing support to help you implement safety practices and address questions as they come up, and we can provide further specialised training your team may need.
