A competent person should establish a system to ensure all contractor employees undergo a site induction before they start work. Contractor employees need to understand that they cannot start work until they have been through an induction programme. A record of inductions must be kept. The induction programme will include, as a minimum, the following elements:
• Emergency procedures
• Permit-to-Work procedures
• Site specific hazards
• Accident reporting procedures
• Waste disposal procedures
Refresher programmes should be carried out on a regular basis for longer-term contractor employees.
