Why Use a Formal Induction Checklist?
A documented induction process helps ensure workers understand workplace expectations, hazards, emergency procedures, and safety requirements before commencing work. Proper inductions can also help businesses demonstrate compliance with Australian WHS legislation and reduce the risk of incidents, misunderstandings, and inconsistent onboarding practices.
Under Australian WHS legislation, employers must ensure all workers (employees, contractors, and volunteers) receive necessary safety training and instructions before starting their duties.
