Safety induction at ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº

¹û¶³Ó°Ôº is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for everybody and the Safety Induction is your first step in understanding your responsibilities.

We all contribute to the ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº community to develop and maintain a culture that embraces positive health and safety practices. Your safety induction will provide you with information on the key risks, safety requirements and responsibilities specific to ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº and your individual work environment.

You have a duty to take care of yourself and work in a safe manner to ensure you do not put others at risk by what you do or don’t do.Ìý

Everybody who works at ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº is required to complete all parts of their safety induction including both the ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Safety Induction eLearning and a local safety induction. You must complete the following steps within your safety induction and ask your manager if there is anything that you are unsure about.

ÌýSteps to completing the safety induction


Step 1 - emergency procedures

This mix of buildings means that emergency procedures and evacuation routes will be unique to the building you work in.
