While inductions are an important part of a complete OHS and EEO management system, they are just one part of such system.
As mentioned, a WorkPro induction plays an important part in delivering instruction and training to employees and contractors, particularly on how to prevent safety risks and discrimination at work.
Whilst an induction is important it doesn't mean you can forget about the other important parts of the respective management systems, including (this list is not exhaustive):
OHS Management
 |
Match the competence and qualifications of an employee or contractor to the client position description and assignment brief |
|
Ensuring a site specific induction is provided before commencing work |
|
Providing information on specific risks and risk control measures within the client workplace |
|
Ensuring job and task specific training is delivered |
|
Conducting a client OHS system assessment to identify gaps and remedies required |
|
Conducting a client workplace assessment to identify specific hazards and negotiate risk control measures |
|
Continually monitoring the site for new hazards and ensuring risk control measures remain effective |
|
Maintain a system for reporting and resolving OHS issues raised by on-hired workers |
EEO Management
|
Maintain an effective complaints resolution procedure and ensuring employees are clear on how and when to use it |
|
Maintain EEO contact officers within your organisation and/or within the client's workplace |
|
Ensure the delivery of site and/or job specific EEO training as required |
|
Ensure your client or other employers of workers within the same workplace are provided with training on EEO by their respective employer or principal |
We have already mentioned that induction training is an important part of a greater OHS and EEO management system and that effective training will reduce mitigate liability of employers.
It is one thing to deliver training to an individual it is another thing to be able to prove that you have delivered it, if challenged. Especially if challenged in a court or tribunal.
Therefore, it is absolutely critical that you retain records that you have verified that one of your workers has completed induction training.
The benefit of WorkPro is that the information and method of delivery is consistent and paperless.
When you log on to an employee or candidates Work Profile, an electronic record of such verification process is captured for future recall. Gone are the days of having to find pieces of paper and asking ex-employees about whether an individual did or did not complete training.
WorkPro is about making evidence of compliance easier to create, safer to store and easier to recall when you need it.
