Demolition Induction — Common Questions
Is a site induction a legal requirement?
Yes. Under WHS legislation, PCBUs must provide workers with adequate information, training, instruction, and supervision. A documented site induction is the standard way to meet this obligation.
What does a site induction checklist cover?
Our checklists cover site-specific hazards, emergency procedures, PPE requirements, first aid locations, reporting procedures, and trade-specific safety controls.
Do induction checklists include a sign-off register?
Yes. Every induction checklist includes a worker acknowledgment register where workers sign to confirm they have received and understood the induction.
