What it's for

Under CDM 2015, the Principal Contractor must make sure every worker receives a suitable site induction, and each contractor must make sure its own workers have one where the Principal Contractor has not provided it. A signed record is the simplest evidence that it happened, and that each person heard about the site rules, the emergency arrangements and the hazards before they started.

When you need it

Every time a new worker, subcontractor operative or regular visitor starts on site, and again if the site changes significantly, for example a new phase, a new access route or new emergency arrangements. Keep the signed sheets with the project records.

Who signs it

Each person inducted signs the sign-on sheet. The person delivering the induction signs it off.

What's inside

  • Project, date and the name of the person delivering the induction
  • A checklist of ten topics: project overview, CDM duty holders, site rules, emergency procedures and muster point, welfare, traffic management, permits to work, RAMS briefings, accident and near miss reporting, and environmental controls
  • A 20-row sign-on sheet
  • Sign-off by the person delivering the induction

FAQ

Does a CSCS card replace a site induction?
No. A card shows general training. The induction covers the risks, rules and arrangements on this site.
How long should an induction take?
Long enough to cover the topics properly for this site. It usually takes longer on complex sites than on simple ones.
Do visitors need an induction?
Yes, one proportionate to where they will go and what they will be exposed to, or they should be escorted.
What is [TO CONFIRM]?
Details only you know, such as references, names and locations. We never guess these. They appear as highlighted [TO CONFIRM] placeholders, and the form opens with a list of every one. Results, readings, dates and signatures are left blank for completion at the time.
Can I edit the document?
Yes. Both options are Word documents you can edit freely.
Do I still need to review it?
Yes. A competent person must check every document against the actual site and works before it is used. ClarusDocs gives you a complete first draft, not a substitute for that check.
