3.3 Induction Training Test
Before the employees are permitted to start work on site, each employee
will be requested to attend a site safety induction course and pass a
requisite test. In the event that a subcontractors employee fails to pass
the induction test, that employee will be given a further opportunity to re-sit
the test. Failure to meet the necessary standard at that second attempt
will result in that employee being refused permission to work on the site.
That employee will not be permitted to restart the induction process until a
further six months have elapsed since re-sitting the test.
3.4 Re-induction Course
As the project proceeds, site conditions and the nature of works may
require safety procedures and associated emergency preparedness to berevised. In such cases, a re-induction course shall be held as required.
However, re-induction will, in any case, be held not later than six months
after the initial induction to refresh safety consciousness and
understanding of the relevant changes to the project safety system.
3.5 Safety Training for Special Activities
Special safety training will be arranged for relevant personnel required to
work on special activities and/or under special working environments, eg,
gas welding, confined space works.
Special training needs and an appropriate training programme will be
developed according to such site activities and work progress. The special
training needs and the programme will be reviewed and updated in the
Contractors Monthly Safety and Environmental Report, which will be
forwarded to the Highway Departments Representative.
3.6 Tool-box Meetings
The purpose of tool-box meetings is to make sure that safety information
