3 Site Rules and Inductions

P6 Projects Site Rules will be placed in writing on the staff intranet, communicated to workers and provided at Site Inductions. These Site Specific Rules will be enforced by P6 Projects and their personnel.

3.1 General Construction Induction

Workers will provide Construction Induction evidence before construction work is started i.e:

■         Evidence of attainment of white card, and

■         Evidence of completion of internal induction training

3.2 Site Specific Induction

P6 Projects will ensure a person has had a “Site Specific” induction before that person enters the site or starts construction work.

P6 Projects will ensure that a person entering a part of the workplace where construction work is being done –

  • Has attended a site specific induction, or

  • Is accompanied by a P6 Projects worker or someone who has been given a site specific induction.

3.3 Company Safety Induction

P6 Projects is committed to providing information, instruction,  training  and  supervision to enable any  workers who fall under our control to perform their work in   a manner that is safe and without risk to their health and safety.

■       In addition to the Site Induction, all workers will also receive a P6 PROJECTS Company Safety Induction upon starting work with the

Company and will receive refresher training thereafter as required. The Induction will address the contents of this Management Plan and the relevant Policies and Procedures from the company Work Health & Safety Policies and Procedures Manual.

■       The Site Supervisor will assess workers as competent by way of on-the-job supervision and sign-off on each relevant SWMS and associated Safe Operating Procedures (SOPs) for plant and equipment and make a record of persons inducted, date of induction and signature, which will be kept on file.

■       Training is primarily given through apprenticeships, licensing, inductions and on- the-job safety training, or when identified as being required by supervisory staff.

Where however, a particular level of training, competency or a certificate is required to perform a particular activity, no worker is to undertake work without the adequate level having been attained.
