Notes
This example shows a completed induction for an electrician entering a construction site. Note that specific high risk work licenses were not required for this task, but the SWMS was still reviewed because it was a construction site. The hazards section is tailored to the site (overhead powerlines, moving plant) and the specific task (working at heights for lighting). The worker signed off on mandatory PPE, confirming they understood the requirement for P2 masks due to potential insulation dust.
