Who this template is for
Contractor Induction Form is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.

- Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 27 questions across 4 screens.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 17 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
- It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
- It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
- It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- It allows multiple selections without free text.
- Conditional logic hides 6 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 6 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Primary trade” is Electrical, the form dynamically exposes “Competent person scheme and registration number”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Primary trade” is Electrical, the form dynamically exposes “Test equipment calibration date”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Primary trade” is Working at height, the form dynamically exposes “Harness training expiry date”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features conditional validation: if “Will this contractor work unaccompanied?” is Yes, “Lone working arrangement” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Does the contractor need a vehicle on site?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Vehicle registration”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Does the contractor need a vehicle on site?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Parking area allocated”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- All 6 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.
About this template
An induction is the moment a stranger becomes someone your site is responsible for, and this form makes that moment auditable. It records the individual — not just the employing company — with their name, trade, employer, mobile number and an emergency contact, then captures the qualifications that matter for the work they are here to do. Trade-specific competence is asked only where it applies: an electrical trade opens the competent-person scheme and test-equipment calibration questions, while a work-at-height trade opens harness training and inspection dates. Insurance is captured as a certificate upload with an explicit expiry date so a lapsed policy shows up as a date rather than a forgotten PDF. The site rules section walks through the arrangements people genuinely need in an emergency: the assembly point, the fire alarm sound, the first-aid arrangements, the permit system, the smoking and vehicle rules, and who to call out of hours. Each block is acknowledged rather than skimmed, and the contractor signs to confirm the induction was delivered by a named person on a specific date. Where the contractor will work unaccompanied, the form asks for the lone-working arrangement before it will accept the submission.

Set it up step by step
- 1
Copy the template
Rename it for the site whose rules the induction covers — one induction per site, not one per company.
- 2
Replace the site rules text
Edit the assembly point, alarm description, first-aid and out-of-hours answers so they describe your building, then lock that wording.
- 3
Tune the trade list
Adjust the Primary trade options and the competence questions attached to each so contractors are only asked what applies.
- 4
Send it before arrival
Share the link when the job is booked so the induction is done before the van is at the gate.
- 5
Issue access against the record
Check the completed submission before handing over a badge, key or fob.
Mistakes to avoid
- Inducting the company rather than each individual who will be on site.
- Accepting an insurance certificate without recording its expiry date, so nobody notices when it lapses.
- Skipping the emergency arrangements section for short visits, which are exactly when people get lost.
What it pairs with
Most teams don't run this form on its own. These are the forms and systems it sits next to.
What to do with the responses
Issue the site badge or access credential only against a completed induction, and set a reminder from the insurance expiry date so the record is refreshed before it goes stale.

Frequently asked questions
Do contractors need re-inducting every visit?
No, but set a review period. Most sites re-induct annually, or sooner if the insurance expiry date passes or the site rules change.
Can one submission cover a whole crew?
It is better not to. Induct each individual, because the competence, emergency contact and signature are personal to them.
What if the contractor has no insurance certificate to hand?
The upload can be completed later, but the expiry date question should be answered honestly. An induction with no insurance evidence should not lead to a badge being issued.
How does this relate to a permit?
The induction covers the person; the permit covers the job. A contractor should be inducted once and then hold a permit for each piece of work.
Where should the signed induction be kept?
With the site's contractor records, filed against the individual so it can be produced quickly during an audit or after an incident.
Is the Contractor Induction Form template free to use?
Yes. You can preview and test Contractor Induction Form on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.

Is the signature on this form legally usable?
The template captures a drawn signature and stores it with the submission, along with the timestamp, so you keep evidence of who agreed and when. Whether that is sufficient depends on your jurisdiction and the agreement itself.
