Health and Safety Induction
Health and Safety Induction is a foundational course designed to introduce employees to workplace safety principles, policies, and procedures. It covers essential topics such as hazard awareness, emergency response, accident reporting, and safe work practices to ensure that all workers understand their roles and responsibilities in maintaining a safe and healthy work environment.
What is the Health and Safety Induction?
The Health and Safety Induction course from the American Institute of Safety Professionals provides the foundational safety awareness that every new worker needs before their first day of work. Safety induction is the single most important training a new employee receives because new workers are disproportionately represented in injury statistics: they do not know the hazards, do not know the procedures, do not know who to ask, and do not know how to report problems. Effective induction training dramatically reduces new-worker injury rates.
The curriculum covers workplace hazard awareness (the most common hazards new workers encounter), emergency procedures (evacuation routes, assembly areas, alarms, emergency contacts), PPE requirements (what to wear, where to get it, how to inspect it), reporting procedures (how to report hazards, near-misses, injuries, and unsafe conditions), worker rights and responsibilities (OSHA rights awareness, employer obligations, employee duties), housekeeping standards, prohibited actions, site-specific safety rules, and the communication channels that help new workers get answers to safety questions. All training is delivered 100 percent online through Microsoft Teams and the American Institute of Safety Professionals LMS.
Upon completion, graduates receive a certificate, wallet card, and transcript, employer-verifiable at amiosp.com/student-verifications.

- All new employees in any industry as part of onboarding
- Workers transferring to new sites or new roles
