Construction Induction Training Project
The construction industry is one of the most high-risk industries worldwide, with unskilled workers being the most at risk of accidents, injuries and fatalities.
Induction training plays a key role in reducing these risks and promoting safe practices. However, many traditional programmes are treated as a compliance exercise. They are often text-heavy, lack interaction and rarely address wider issues such as wellbeing.
This project set out to redesign PBC Builders’ induction training by using modern design frameworks and models to make the programme more engaging, interactive and inclusive of different learning styles, helping workers retain important safety knowledge.
Needs Analysis
To identify gaps, surveys and interviews were carried out, existing training materials were reviewed and studies on industry data from the HSA, HSE and academic safety were researched. This process highlighted areas where traditional induction training was falling short.
Design Framework
The redesign followed the ADDIE model and incorporated Gagné’s Nine Events of Instruction to keep learners engaged. Training content was delivered through multimedia and scenario-based activities instead of long text passages.
Program Development
The programme was built using a variety of media and interactive tools:
-
Video demonstrations showing correct task procedures
-
Interactive quizzes to give learners opportunities to practise and reinforce knowledge
Evaluation
Evaluation was guided by the New World Kirkpatrick Model, which focuses on outcomes and works backwards to assess learner behaviour and experience.
For this project, the key outcome was reducing site safety risks while also supporting mental health and wellbeing. Evaluation looked at whether workers applied safe behaviours on the job, such as:
-
Wearing correct PPE
-
Handling equipment and machinery properly
-
Storing tools and materials correctly
-
Keeping the site clean and hazard-free
By focusing on these behaviours, the evaluation measured whether the training had a real impact on safety and wellbeing, rather than just whether learners enjoyed the training.
