WorkCover Queensland emphasizes the importance of ensuring Induction for Specific Work Sites procedures and rules to minimize the risks of death, injury, or illness.

Before initiating construction work (excluding housing construction), individuals must undergo a site-specific induction.

As a principal contractor, it is your responsibility to provide workers with comprehensive information, training, and instructions regarding the work nature, associated risks, and implemented control measures. This induction should cover the contents of the workplace's Work Health and Safety (WHS) management plans, including site-specific health and safety regulations.

Furthermore, it is crucial to ensure that every individual involved in the construction project is familiar with the WHS management plan and site-specific rules before commencing work. Access to areas where construction work is ongoing should be restricted to individuals who have undergone a site-specific induction or are accompanied by someone who has.

Maintaining records of inducted personnel and the induction dates is essential for principal contractors. Additionally, the WHS management plan should be retained throughout the construction project.

While site-specific induction may not be obligatory for housing construction sites, effective communication of the principal contractor's construction safety plan remains imperative in such scenarios.
