Document control & sign-off
Why a site induction is expected on every site
Under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, regulation 13(4) places a duty on the principal contractor to ensure that every worker receives a suitable site induction before they start work. The induction has to be specific to that project — a generic, off-the-shelf induction does not meet the duty. It should highlight the particular risks of the site, including the high-risk activities listed in Schedule 3 of CDM 2015, together with the controls workers are expected to follow.
That means an induction is more than a welcome. A workable site induction covers the management structure and who to report to, the site rules, welfare facilities, first aid and emergency arrangements, accident and near-miss reporting, and the hazards a worker will actually meet on this particular site. The site rules and these arrangements should also be set out in the construction phase plan that CDM requires before work begins.
The signature sheet is your record
Delivering an induction is only half of it — you need to be able to show it happened. The attendance and signature sheet on the printed pack is that evidence: each person signs to confirm they attended and understood the induction before going to work. Keep the signed sheet with your site records. If there is an incident or an HSE visit, it is the document that demonstrates the induction was actually given.
This builds the structure — not the judgement
This tool gives you a complete, well-ordered induction pack, but it cannot decide what the real hazards and controls on your site are. The content has to come from someone competent who knows the project. Use the prompts as a checklist, fill in the site-specific detail, and have a competent person review the pack before you use it. A tidy structure is not the same as a sufficient induction.
