Training and Inductions

As a Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU), you must ensure the health and safety of persons coming into or onto your site by providing adequate health and safety training relevant to your site. Moreover, employees and sub-contractors should receive orientation and induction training before exposure to any workplace risks or hazards. 

As a minimum, employees and sub-contractors must receive information on: 

  • Health and safety obligations, responsibilities and principles;
  • Incident, injury and hazard reporting;
  • Company policies and procedures;
  • Specific hazards likely to be encountered within the workplace;
  • Workplace facilities;
  • Emergency evacuation plans and egress/access routes;
  • Emergency procedures and provisions (e.g. fire, chemical spill, lightning, etc.);
  • The provision of, and correct use of personal protective equipment;
  • Organisational hierarchy;
  • Accepted behaviour and standard within the organisation;
  • Clothing and uniforms; and
  • Modern awards, hours of work, breaks, time keeping and remuneration. 

A PCBU must also ensure unaccompanied visitors are signed into and out of the site and, inducted, as a minimum, in the following areas:

  • Procedures and rules for access and egress throughout the workplace;
  • Specific hazards likely to be encountered within the workplace;
  • The provision of, and correct use of personal protective equipment; and
  • Emergency procedures in case of an emergency (including assembly areas).

Within our Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS), Training and Induction sub-folders house specific registers, practice records and plans, all designed to assist you with your record-keeping obligations.
