This checklist ensures all workers, contractors, and visitors receive comprehensive site-specific safety induction before commencing work or entering the premises. It covers critical site hazards, emergency procedures, safety protocols, and regulatory requirements unique to this location.
The induction process confirms that each person understands:
Site layout, access points, and restricted areas
Specific hazards present on site (e.g., machinery, chemicals, elevated work areas, confined spaces)
Emergency evacuation procedures and assembly points
Location of first aid facilities, fire equipment, and emergency contacts
Personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements
Environmental controls and waste management procedures
Site rules, permit systems, and reporting requirements
Communication protocols and key personnel contacts
Upon completion, both the inductee and supervisor sign to verify that all relevant information has been provided, understood, and questions addressed. This document becomes part of the site's safety records and demonstrates compliance with workplace health and safety obligations.
The checklist should be reviewed and updated regularly to reflect changing site conditions, new hazards, or revised procedures.
