Comments sought on Tasmanian construction induction code

Workplace Standards Tasmania is inviting comment from individuals, organisations, and industry bodies on the draft Code of Practice - Induction for Construction Work.

The draft code is based on the National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work. The purpose of the Code is to protect persons from the hazards associated with construction work. The Code provides guidance to persons working in general and residential construction sectors on the types of induction training that may be needed to provide construction workers with an awareness and understanding of common hazards on construction sites and how they should be managed.

Industry is not required to comply with the Code, but may be asked to demonstrate that the system chosen is equal to, or better than, the approved Code of Practice.

A copy of the Code may be viewed in hard copy at the offices of Workplace Standards Tasmania at:

  • 30 Gordons Hill Road, Rosny Park, 7018
  • Level 3, Henty House ,1 Civic Square, Launceston, 7250
