Interactive site inductions
Real context that operatives actually engage with
Across the industry, safety and site information is still largely communicated through slides and documents. It is a format people tend to sit through rather than engage with, and it cannot show operatives where the real risks and hazards sit on a specific site. Murphy Group recognised that traditional inductions were not landing, and saw an opportunity to do site familiarisation properly. They came to us and asked what we thought we could do.
An interactive site induction built from a drone survey and 360 imagery of the real site. Rather than reading slides, operatives explore an accurate digital version of the place they are about to enter. It runs on the touchscreen in the site office and on laptop, tablet and mobile, with a Windows executable for offline use on sites where connectivity is poor.
Operatives complete the induction before they start, moving through the actual site rather than reading about it. Satellite, 360 and 3D views map hazards, welfare, access routes and emergency points onto their real locations, with fatal and severe risks marked exactly where they occur. Because the induction is interactive and specific to the site, people arrive already knowing the layout and where the risks are.
We first built this as a custom solution for Murphy Group. It was well received enough that we turned the approach into a dedicated tool, Induct360, built specifically for interactive site inductions. Induct360 now creates every Murphy Group induction, and because each one is live, any improvement we make is rolled out across all of them at once. The same tool now delivers interactive inductions for other clients.
