As of 13 August 2026, AI can only partly create a health and safety induction for new employees.

What to actually do

1. Hand it to a person

   The route this page recommends

   A person who owns the outcome does this end to end, worth it when the failure is dear.

2. Use a tool built for this

   Second choice

3. Do it yourself

   The distant third

   A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 1 hour until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open the organisation's current health and safety policy, relevant risk assessments, emergency plan, fire instructions, first aid arrangements, accident reporting procedure and PPE rules.
   2. Gather the workplace address, work areas, equipment, substances, vehicles, routine tasks, restricted areas, emergency contacts, evacuation points and any role-specific hazards.
   3. Paste those documents and details into the prompt, identifying which information applies to all employees and which applies only to particular roles.
   4. Ask the chatbot to produce the induction script, structure, employee checklist, trainer checklist and knowledge checks using the supplied prompt.
   5. Compare every instruction, contact detail, emergency route, PPE requirement and hazard in the draft against the current workplace documents and walk the route on site.
   6. Give the draft to the organisation's competent health and safety person or responsible manager to confirm missing controls, legal requirements, accessibility needs and approval before delivery.
   7. Deliver the approved induction, record attendance and understanding, and update the induction when the workplace, equipment, procedures or risks change.

   Prompt

   Create a UK workplace health and safety induction for new employees at [organisation and workplace type]. Use only the information in the workplace documents and details below, and mark every missing or uncertain item as [NEEDS CONFIRMATION] instead of guessing.
   
   Workplace location and activities:
   [describe the site, work areas, equipment, substances, vehicles, visitors and typical tasks]
   
   Known hazards and controls:
   [paste risk assessments or summarise the hazards and controls]
   
   Emergency arrangements:
   [paste fire, evacuation, first aid, accident reporting, lone-working and emergency contact procedures]
   
   Workplace rules and policies:
   [paste relevant policies, signs, PPE rules, reporting routes, welfare arrangements and training requirements]
   
   Audience:
   [new starters, including any roles or groups needing adjustments]
   
   Produce:
   1. A clear induction script and slide-by-slide or section-by-section structure.
   2. A short checklist for the employee and a separate checklist for the person delivering the induction.
   3. Knowledge-check questions with answers based only on the supplied information.
   4. A list of site-specific details, legal or policy points and practical arrangements that a competent UK health and safety person must confirm before use.
   5. Plain British English, with no invented hazards, legal claims, contact details, procedures or emergency numbers.
   
   Do not present this as a substitute for the organisation's risk assessments, emergency arrangements or competent health and safety review. Do not diagnose injuries or illnesses. If the material mentions urgent or worrying symptoms, direct the employee to NHS 111 and the workplace first aid or emergency procedure.

   Open it prefilled in ChatGPT or Claude, or copy it into Gemini, which takes no prefill link.
