When everyone is just starting out in an organization, they must receive introductory training that introduces them to the basic information they need to find their way in new environments and new professional roles.

Most of this introductory training will focus on health and safety issues, because safety at work (for newcomers and their colleagues) is one of the top priorities for the organization or company.

Because of COVID-19 today, company must organize COVID-19 induction safety training for employees.

Introducing new people is one of the first tasks carried out by the introductory program to introduce them to their new environment. This tour lists and explains things such as emergency exits, safety equipment locations and alarm trigger points, emergency installation points, closing points (eg fuel, electricity) and other important information.

Many companies will ask employees to sign documents stating that they have completed this training to close if employees seek compensation in the future and that they never know this important safety feature.

Introductory training should also familiarize employees with company health and safety policies, company accident reporting processes, and specific health risks where they are most at risk in their new work.

These risks vary greatly depending on the type of work and each branch (eg a refinery worker is faced with very different working conditions and risks for office workers).

Health and safety training, whether preliminary training for new or existing staff, should not be seen as a one-time isolated event. To create a truly safe work environment, it must be provided regularly or when there are fundamental changes in operations or at work.

Introductory training often only provides basic information about health and safety. New employees are bombarded with so much information at the beginning that much can be forgotten.
