A structured way to **onboard construction crews with safety induction** is to collect each worker's documents, deliver a site-specific safety induction, register PPE delivered, record required training and certificates, and have the supervisor sign off before the worker starts.

In **Jestor**, workers, inductions, and sites are connected, so nobody starts work without preparation.

## Why does crew onboarding fail?

Crews change often, especially with subcontractors. New workers start on the same day they arrive.

Inductions are skipped, documents are missing, and accidents happen in the first days.

## What problems does structured onboarding solve?

- Workers starting without induction
- Missing documents
- Certificates not checked
- PPE not delivered
- No record for audits

## How do you onboard crews in Jestor?

1. **Collect documents** through a form.
2. **Deliver the site induction** and record attendance.
3. **Register PPE** delivered.
4. **Check certificates** for specific tasks.
5. **Get supervisor sign-off** before work.

| Step      | Owner             |
| --------- | ----------------- |
| Documents | Administration    |
| Induction | Safety technician |
| PPE       | Warehouse         |
| Sign-off  | Site supervisor   |

## How do you handle subcontractor crews?

Subcontractors upload worker documents in advance.

Workers arrive ready for induction.

## Where should you start?

Create the induction checklist for your main site and use it for every new worker.

## What mistakes should you avoid when you onboard construction crews with safety induction?

- Letting workers start before induction.
- Accepting missing certificates.
- Using generic inductions for all sites.
- Not recording attendance.

## Why use Jestor for crew onboarding?

- **Forms**: documents collected in advance.
- **Induction records**: attendance logged.
- **Validations**: no work without sign-off.
- **Subcontractor access**: uploads before arrival.

## How do you get the team on board?

Short inductions with site photos and clear rules hold attention better than long talks.

## What do you need before starting?

Prepare a short site-specific induction with photos of hazards and rules, and ask subcontractors to send worker documents at least a day before arrival, so induction can start as soon as the crew reaches the site.

## What results can you expect?

Fewer early accidents, complete records, and faster starts for prepared crews. Requirements follow labor and safety regulations defined with professionals.

This is how you onboard construction crews with safety induction and start every worker safely.
