The ILO states that everyone who works needs to know how to work safely and that employers should provide suitable information, instruction and training.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA good induction also supports risk management. HSE guidance explains that risk assessment involves deciding who might be harmed, what controls already exist, what further action is needed, who must carry out that action and when it should be done.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePoor induction can create operational and legal exposure. Workers may miss hazards, misunderstand PPE requirements, use unsafe access routes, fail to report near misses, ignore evacuation arrangements, handle chemicals incorrectly or operate near machinery without adequate supervision. These failures can lead to injuries, illness, property damage, delays, complaints, enforcement attention and weak audit evidence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHealth and safety induction also supports worker participation.
