Plant Inductions done real fast
Register your Plant when it arrives on-site through a simple online form to ensure you have information about the Plant and operator
Heavy Machinery is classed as high-risk work and must be registered.
All Plant machinery must have a current log book, service history, licensed operator and this information must be stored by the Builder.
Here's how to ensure
Plants are recorded
Plants must be inspected and registered
Plant operators scan the QR code and register operator and plant information so the builder has the information needed for the high-risk work.
File documents so they're readily available
You must maintain records for each Plant and the job site it was on and have them easily available if they are required for training or audits.
Work can begin now that the plant is inducted.
With PDF's that have the information of the plant and operator, the site will be up to date with the latest information and safe work can begin.

Frequently asked questions
A Plant Induction Register is a document or record used in workplaces that keeps track of the induction and training provided to workers and operators regarding the use of high-risk plant equipment. "Plant" in this context refers to machinery, equipment, tools, and any apparatus used in the work environment.
Plant Inductions must be received from all contractors using Plants and appropriately, which is tricky when using email and a manual filing system. BuilderShield streamlines the process by enabling a contractor to complete Plant Induction on-site through an online form, and all Plant records are viewable in your BuilderShield dashboard.
In Australia, operating a plant on-site without first registering it can lead to legal and safety implications, especially for high-risk construction work. Without training (and proof of their acknowledgment of the risk) the likelihood of accidents and injuries increases.
Even without an injury, operating non-registered plants can lead to substantial fines or penalties, prosecution, work stoppages and invalidate insurance. There are also reputational risks for operating unsafe sites that can affect people willing to work with you.
Yep! Jack is a master builder and owner of Slatter Building and had the idea to collect contractor and employee information through his website. Working with a OHS coordinator to understand his obligations, Jack worked with Luke to create his ultimate OHS management system and BuilderShield was born.
