A visual approach to inductions

Presentation by: Troy Winn, WHS Manager, Simonds Group

Presentation package now available (members only)

How do you move safety induction online yet keep it alive? Troy Winn spoke about how he met that challenge in a presentation on Tuesday, 9 April.

Troy, who is WHS Manager for the Simonds Group, recently completed a Masters in Ergonomics, Safety and Health at La Trobe University in Melbourne. His presentation was based on research he did in the Advanced Practice Stream as part of his postgraduate degree. 

Working in the construction industry, Troy and his safety team were often investing several hours a week delivering safety inductions to site supervisors before they commenced a job. A high turnover of people and projects on sites made this a demanding commitment.

Troy spoke about a project to move this training online, where his role was to produce videos. He outlined the thinking and planning behind it, as well as the particular role of videos in making the induction more engaging and effective.  

His presentation included some of his safety induction videos, along with discussion about the various ideas, steps and lessons that went into making them.

The presenter:

Troy Winn has been WHS Manager for the Simonds Group since 2022. Prior to that he held national safety management roles in a number of construction companies. He spent several years as State OHS Advisor for the Housing Industry Association. Troy has also worked in the mental health, allied health, child care and aged care sectors. His experience includes roles in safety, wellbeing, workers compensation and risk management with organisations including Mind Australia, Blue Cross Aged Care and EACH healthcare services. Troy completed his Masters in Ergonomics, Safety and Health at La Trobe University in October 2023.

Fatigue management in a high-risk environment
Fatigue in the workplace can be a critical safety and psychosocial risk. However, some contributing factors are often overlooked, resulting in poor management of the issue.
At our final in-person presentation for 2025 on 11 November, Jane Skillen, OHS Advisor at Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine, will provide an informative case study on managing fatigue for clinical forensic nurses in regional Victoria.
She will discuss the implications of being impaired by fatigue in such a high-risk work environment, and the importance of recognising both external and workplace factors that can contribute to it.
Her talk will outline strategies to identify fatigue-related concerns early, and what a timely intervention looks like. Come along in person to take advantage of Jane’s extensive experience in OHS and continue the discussion after the formal event is over.
