Why add a quiz to your safety induction?
A signature on an induction form shows that someone attended. It does not show that they understood. A short quiz at the end of the induction checks that key rules got through, highlights anyone who needs a second briefing, and gives you a dated record of each person's score. That record helps with audits and insurance reviews.
What this template covers
- Fire safety: raising the alarm and choosing the right extinguisher.
- Personal protective equipment: what counts as PPE and when to wear it.
- Manual handling: safe lifting technique.
- Electrical safety: the right first response to an electric shock.
- Reporting culture: why near-misses should be reported too.
How to run it well
For compliance quizzes, set a high pass mark, often 80% or even 100%, and allow several attempts so people learn from their mistakes instead of just failing. Turn on the answer review after submission so each person sees the correct answer and its explanation straight away. That makes the quiz part of the training, not only a check.
Add your own site rules: assembly points, first-aider names, permit-to-work steps and hazards specific to your site. Generic questions cover the law. Site-specific questions are what keep people safe in your building. Run the same quiz as a yearly refresher and compare scores across teams.
Who this test is for
Use it for new starters in warehouses, factories, construction sites, retail stores, kitchens and offices, as well as for contractors and agency workers who arrive on short notice. It also suits annual refresher training, so you can show that existing staff still know the procedures, not just new joiners.
Make it yours
Edit questions, add photos of your signage as text descriptions, or use the AI generator to draft questions about COSHH, working at height or lone working. People take the quiz from a link on any phone without an account, which suits warehouse, retail and site workers who don't have a work email.
