Induction Training & Competencies

Training (and evidence of such) is critical in providing support to all your workers. There are legislative training requirements such as high risk training as well as meeting your organisation needs. You will need to supply evidence of an induction process and records, training register and training review process.


A Training / Induction Policy should include (but not limited to):

  • The commitment of the organisation to providing training to workers and others working at the site
  • The responsibilities of various people within the business who will provide the training, such as managers and supervisors and third party providers
  • Resources that may be needed for the induction training / program
  • Signature of senior management, and a date of commencement


A Training / Induction Procedure should include (but not limited to):

  • A clear process of how training works within the organisation
  • Who will be responsible for which processes
  • Explanation of the training requirements for each worker to carry out their job safely and efficiently. This is a similar process to undertaking a training analysis on your organisation
  • Any high-risk training to be completed i.e. confined space, working at heights
  • Explanation of the induction process
  • Actions required throughout the induction process
  • Use of training provider/s (internal or external)


Please supply evidence of your training process; including how your organisation manages internal and external training.


Examples of internal training can include:

Evidence of this will include:

  • Completed training registers / matrices etc.


It is important that you supply completed records; not just templates
