When it comes to managing large, multi-site locations, whether for challenging projects on land, or the demanding nature of off shore projects, it is important to be as fully prepared as possible. One way to ensure that the entire project runs as smoothly as possible, especially if you are in charge of looking after multiple sites at once, is to create an implement a system of training and induction that ensures that every single contractor and employee understands what is expected of them on a project. With clear inductions and training manuals, contractors can also be instructed on all relevant health and safety literature, as well as more specific instructions relating to each project, task, and site within the wider project.
It doesn’t matter whether you are working on a single site on land, or multiple locations off shore, as a project manager you have to understand about all the moving parts at any given time. For employees, contractors, single instance visitors, and any suppliers visiting a site, it is important that they can demonstrate suitability through permits to work, as well as conforming to your own process of induction. With that you can build a safe working environment where all the moving parts work together effectively, for a smooth project that works on time and to budget.
Providing an induction process that is easy to understand and easy to implement will help any project to become smoother, more effective, and profitable. Whether a contractor is visiting a site for one single day, or working on the entire timeframe, they should have the ability to provide you with full certificates for work, and be able to access specific site and health and safety information from you. One way to ensure this is as smooth a process as possible is to provide an online induction system.
Every employer is responsible for the health and safety of employees and contractors on site. This becomes a greater logistical challenge if you are working on a large site, or multiple sites in various locations. To ensure that the process is as smooth as possible you should seek out a provider of online induction programmes that can be centrally viewed. With an online induction process you can ensure that everything that is required by each contractor and employee is easily found online, via a secure portal where individuals are provided with secure access.
Here, you can provide all training manuals and instructions relating to general health and safety guides, site specific information, access points for different sites, as well as a place for contractors to easily and securely upload personal information, next of kin information to be used in the event of an accident, as well as a place to upload all relevant work documentation and permits to work. Training and tests can also take place via this online induction portal.
Having a secure place to provide online inductions certainly makes life easier for project managers when dealing with multi-site locations. It leads to greater levels of safety and productivity.
