Chat about the site and safety
Site Inductions involve speaking with workers about the risks and practices on site and documenting their information. BuilderShield makes this easy as scanning a QR and filling out a form.
File documents so they're readily available
You must maintain records for each person that steps on to site and have them at hand in case they are required for training or audits.
Work can begin now that workers are inducted and records are saved.
With all documents all people on site will be up to date with the latest safety information.

Frequently asked questions
A Site Induction is a critical process conducted at the beginning of a construction project. It's aimed at introducing new workers, subcontractors, and visitors to a specific construction site, focusing on ensuring their awareness and understanding of the site's specific safety procedures, operational protocols, and risks. This induction is essential for maintaining a safe and efficient work environment, especially in smaller-scale building projects.
Site Inductions must be complete by every worker, contractor or tradie on site and stored and appropriately, which is tricky when using email and a manual filing system. BuilderShield streamlines the process by enabling all workers to complete Site Induction forms on-site through an online form, and all 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 be substantial fines or penalties, prosecution, work stoppages and invalidate insurance. There are also reputational risks for operating unsafe sites that can affect who will work with you.
Yes. BuilderShield works as a digital site induction register template, so you can run consistent inductions and keep complete records across every project. Instead of paper forms and manual filing, workers complete the induction questions on their phone and your team receives a PDF record automatically. Each submission is time-stamped, captures the required worker details, and stays accessible for site audits and compliance checks.
A strong site induction register should capture:
- Worker identity and trade details
- Site rules, emergency procedures, and key hazards
- Confirmation of SWMS and PPE requirements
- Date, signature acknowledgment, and a stored audit trail
