In practice, this means keeping training records. Many WHS Regulations explicitly require records for high-risk work, licences, and competencies.<\/p><p><strong>How long must WHS training records be kept?<\/strong><br \/>Training records should be kept for the duration of employment and longer where required by regulation, Codes of Practice, or health monitoring obligations.<\/p><p><strong>Do contractors need training records?<\/strong><br \/>Yes. PCBUs must ensure workers and contractors are trained and competent. Evidence of induction, task-specific training, and licences should be retained.<\/p><p><strong>What happens if training records are missing?<\/strong><br \/>If you cannot produce records during an inspection or investigation, regulators may assume training was not provided, increasing the risk of enforcement action or prosecution.<\/p><p><strong>Is a sign-on sheet enough as a training record?<\/strong><br \/>For low-risk activities, it may assist. For high-risk or regulated work, more detailed evidence such as certificates, assessments, or competency verification is expected.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-46e7735 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"46e7735\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-293f184\" data-id=\"293f184\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-bebb0e6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bebb0e6\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-6f52e95\" data-id=\"6f52e95\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-09e216b elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"09e216b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-04cc2e5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"04cc2e5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Want to simplify WHS training records?<\/h3><p>Explore how <strong>JSEAsy<\/strong> helps Australian businesses manage inductions, training, and competency evidence with confidence.<\/p><p>The <a title=\"JSEAsy Premium EHS Software \u2013 Simplify WHS Compliance\" href=\"https:\/\/jseasy-safety-software.com\/au\/jseasy-premium-safety-management-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">JSEAsy Premium Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Software<\/a> is your completed WHS management system.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-2c7ae0d\" data-id=\"2c7ae0d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56f0b9f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"56f0b9f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jseasy-safety-software.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/01\/JSEAsy_in_the_Cloud-1.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"JSEAsy Cloud Hosted WHS Software.
