Induction training is essential for setting expectations, ensuring safety, and maintaining consistency in any workplace. However, traditional face-to-face inductions are often time-consuming, repetitive, and difficult to scale—especially across multiple sites or departments. This is where induction videos can make a significant difference.
At PowerPlus, we produce bespoke online induction videos tailored to a wide range of industries. Our solutions are designed to improve efficiency, save valuable time, and ensure every employee, contractor, or visitor receives the same high-quality information—regardless of location.
What Is an Induction Video?
An induction video is a pre-recorded visual presentation that introduces new employees or site visitors to your company. It typically covers essential topics such as:
- Health and safety protocols
- Site-specific rules and layouts
- Fire evacuation procedures and muster points
- Personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements
- Company history, values, and leadership
- Relevant contact information
The aim is to deliver consistent information in a clear, engaging, and memorable format. Induction videos can be accessed on-demand, which reduces the need for repeated in-person sessions and allows new starters to complete the process at their own pace.
Why Choose Video Over Traditional Inductions?
If you’ve ever had to run multiple in-person inductions, you’ll understand how difficult it is to ensure the same message is delivered each time. Inductions can often feel rushed or vary depending on who is presenting. When dealing with short-term contractors, temporary staff, or teams across different locations, this inconsistency becomes a risk.
With a site induction video, you maintain full control over the message. Every viewer receives the exact same information, delivered in a professional and engaging way. Our system also allows you to monitor who has completed their induction and when, providing a complete audit trail for compliance.
Key Benefits of Induction Videos:
- Consistent messaging across sites and departments
- Significantly reduces time spent on inductions
- Eliminates the need for repeated paperwork
- Increases engagement through visual learning
- Supports multilingual content for diverse workforces
- Allows compliance tracking via our management portal

Industry Examples of Video Induction Success
Highways England
PowerPlus created a generic induction video for Highways England and their suppliers. It is used across the national road network, covering roadside attendance, construction, and high-level safety protocols. The video had to meet stringent compliance standards to ensure safety for both staff and road users.
Cammell Laird
As one of the UK’s premier shipbuilders, Cammell Laird needed induction videos for staff, contractors, and visitors. Filming required careful planning due to the presence of high-security areas across their 120-acre site on the River Mersey.
Compass Minerals
For the UK’s largest rock salt mine in Winsford, Compass Minerals required a highly detailed video covering above-ground and underground risks. Working closely with the safety team, we even filmed 400ft below the surface using drone technology.
Ardmore Construction
Ardmore, a major construction firm operating across London, needed site-specific induction videos for multiple locations. Each video was integrated with their entry/exit security system, ensuring only trained individuals could access specific sites.
Tekmar Energy
With a global presence in subsea cable protection systems, Tekmar Group commissioned both induction videos and a management portal. This allows real-time tracking of contractor and visitor training worldwide.
Lane End Group
As a leading housing and construction firm in the North West, Lane End Group required a full turnkey solution. We provided generic and site-specific video inductions along with a full online compliance management system. Their managers can now view completion records instantly and ensure compliance across all projects.
Delivering Compliance and Clarity Through Video
An effective induction sets the tone for your workforce, instilling safety, professionalism, and company culture from day one. Video is one of the most powerful ways to communicate this, especially when integrated into a compliance management system.
From small businesses to large national organisations, our clients rely on us to deliver scalable solutions that improve safety, save time, and reduce onboarding errors.
