- Create a Contractor Safety Induction
A contractor induction is a critical safety element for new contractors working at your organisation and for ongoing compliance of contractors, subcontractors and contracting companies. All contractors should be inducted before they start working on their job task or activity and typically, before they even step foot on site.
Contractor Inductions may conducted for sole traders, head contractors and their subcontractors as part of being engaged to work on a project, respond to a work order or as part of ongoing contracting to a workplace. It involves
collecting information, completing a
completing a contractor induction presentation and a
safety induction.
Contractors might go through a series of different inductions ranging from site, project or role specific inductions and progressing through important topics around hazards on site, safe work procedures, policies, site access and everything else they need to know in order to be job ready. The contractor induction may be preceeded by a contractor
prequalification process.
A contractor induction forms part of an overall
contractor management system.
What is a contractor induction and what is the best way to induct all contractors on site?
A
contractor induction is a multi step process involving collecting required information from your contractors to ensure compliance for working on site, presenting important
safety, site speecific and workplace introduction information to them, assessing competency and getting acknowledgement on important check lists, forms, policies and procedures with an induction card issued at the end.
It's typically done online or with a
contractor induction handbook.

A contractor induction all starts with what you need to collect from your contractors and the companies they work for.
Insurances, licenses, certifications, evidence of training, right to work in the country, emergency contact details, payment details - everything you need to capture from them before they start working on site and performing their job, task or role.
- Workers Comp Insurance details
- Public Liability Insurance
- Professional Indemnity Insurance
- evidence of training and contractor tickets
Schedule automatic reminders for when these materials expire so that the contractors are prompted to supply these materials to you on an ongoing basis as the expiry dates near.
