Site Induction Checklist
A site induction ensures every worker understands the specific hazards, emergency procedures, and safety requirements of a work site before they start. WHS legislation requires PCBUs to provide adequate information and instruction to workers. Our induction checklists are trade-specific, covering the hazards and controls most relevant to each trade, with a worker acknowledgment register for documented sign-off.

Using This Induction On Site
Deliver the induction to every worker before their first day on that site, and to new starters and visitors as they arrive. Work through each section, then have the worker sign the acknowledgement. That signed record is what you produce if anyone asks whether the person was inducted.
