Use the Site Induction Register included with Health and Safety Xpert software to record who has attended a site induction. All site personnel should attend a Site Induction before they commence work in order to receive important information, instructions and training regarding site safety, safe methods and systems of work, welfare facilities, site rules, plant and equipment, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH), and Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences (RIDDOR) etc. The Site Induction Register provides documentary evidence that a site induction has been carried out and that personnel attended it, understood it, have received a copy of the Site Rules and have agreed to abide by the policies, procedures, methods and rules of your company.
It is important to file these records so that they could be consulted by an inspector if necessary.
