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.
