Frequently asked questions
What does the Site Induction Checklist cover?
A new-starter and visitor induction checklist covering site rules, hazards, welfare and emergency arrangements.
Who needs to go through this induction checklist?
Anyone new to the site, whether a new starter, a contractor or a visitor, since site-specific hazards and emergency arrangements cannot be assumed to be already known.
What emergency information should be covered during induction?
Evacuation routes, assembly points, and who to contact in an emergency, so a new arrival knows what to do from their very first day rather than learning it during an actual incident.
Should the induction checklist be signed off?
Yes, keeping a completed and signed copy on file is the evidence that the induction genuinely took place and covered the required points.
