Deliver different inductions by role, site or worker type
A forklift driver, a visiting auditor and a new office starter shouldn't sit through the same induction. Altora lets you build the right induction for each group once, then workers select the programs that apply to them when they register, so every worker gets exactly what they need for their role and the sites they work on.

One induction doesn’t fit everyone
Most organisations induct more than one kind of person. Employees, contractors, visitors, volunteers and drivers all need different information, and so do people working at different sites or in different roles.
When everyone gets the same generic induction, the important details get lost. Workers sit through content that doesn’t apply to them, switch off, and miss the hazards and procedures that do. Splitting it up manually isn’t much better, with different versions to maintain and someone deciding who should do what.
Altora’s Online Induction System solves this by letting you tailor inductions by role, location and worker type, without creating extra work for your team.
The problem with one-size-fits-all inductions
1. Build each induction from reusable content
Create courses with the built-in course editor, import existing SCORM content, or start from Altora’s course library. Add eForms, policy acknowledgements and document requirements such as licences and certifications.
Then group them into programs for each worker type, such as new employee induction, contractor induction, site induction or visitor and volunteer induction. Shared items like your code of conduct can sit in several programs, so they’re maintained in one place.
2. Workers choose the programs that apply to them
Workers register online using a secure link and select the programs relevant to them, so they receive the courses, forms and documents for their role, site or worker type. Admins can also organise the workforce into user groups and assign requirements to a whole group in one go.
A truck driver gets driver-specific training, a maintenance worker gets the procedures for their trade, and a visitor gets a short safety briefing, without your admins setting it up for each person.
3. Add site-specific requirements
Each site can have its own inductions and requirements, from site inductions covering local hazards and emergency procedures, to licences needed for the work done there.
Add the Check-in System to set requirements per site and check workers meet them when they sign in. If someone hasn’t completed the induction for that site, they can complete it on the spot from their own device. It works across multiple sites from one dashboard.
4. Let contractors induct their own workers
For contractors, the Contractor Management System lets each contractor company invite its own workers to complete the inductions and requirements you set for them.
Combine it with contractor prequalification so contractor companies are approved before their workers start their inductions, and assign company tasks such as SWMS and JSAs as needed to ensure ongoing compliance.
See who has completed what
Tailored inductions only help if you can see they've been completed. Altora tracks every worker against the requirements assigned to them.
Real-time compliance status
See induction progress and overdue requirements by worker, group or location, and save reports to run again whenever you need them.
Renewals and reminders
Set inductions and documents to expire, and Altora reminds workers when it’s time to renew, individually or in bulk.
Complete training records
Keep an auditable history of each worker’s inductions, acknowledgements and documents, even as they change roles or sites.
