Site Induction

Every new contractor or new employee starting work or going onto a site should undergo an induction when they first arrive on site. This induction should inform the attendees about: site rules and procedures, the arrangements for their safety and welfare on site, who the key duty holders are, etc

Emergency plans/procedures should be explained at inductions (they must also be available in writing), so that, if an incident occurs on site the risk of injury to workers and people in the vicinity is minimised. These measures must also deal with rescue. When developing the emergency plans, it may be necessary to liaise with the local emergency services. Also all of the company procedures and were they apply and who they apply to should be fully explained.
