Contractor Induction Checklist

This template is a contractor induction checklist that you would commonly include as part of the contractor induction (for contractors and subcontractors). The goal of this is to ensure that contractors understand and acknowledge important safety policies and procedures before they arrive on site and begin their job task or activity.

This check list might be part of annual re-inductions for contractors too. It's a great way to present relevant contractor policies and procedures that you need to ensure all contractors and subcontractors progress through, read, acknowledge and even sign off against digitally online.

Using an online checklist you can record which contractors have acknowledged the check list policies and procedures, when, from which company and exactly what they have viewed. Try creating one right here.

When would you use a Contractor Induction Checklist?

This checklist is commonly used for engaging new contractors and subcontractors to a workplace or site as part of their Contractor Induction and often consists of important safety policies, procedures and acknowledgements as part of ensuring a contractor or subcontractor is prepared for their job task or activity on site and covering important safety and compliance checks.

Sample Use Cases

Some example use cases include ensuring contractors and subcontractors have gone through a prestart checklist ensuring they are inducted and aware of important procedures, policies and other safety or site materials before they begin their job task or activity.

An induction checklist might be done by contractors each job site they work at or as part of how they are engaged to work on site in response to a work order. They might complete multiple checklists for multiple inductions and they might even go through one every time they are engaged for high risk work.

Contractor Checklist for Managers or Site Checks

Another use case is for managers or the site to check off that the right things are in place and that the workplace is ready or prepared for the contractor. This might be a manager walk by on the conditions of the site, the location the contractor is going to work in, the forms, procedures or documentation that the contractor needs to provide first before they can start work. They might need to go through a contractor checklist and itemise what items have been provided and verified before the contractor can start working on site.

Some manager contractor checklist tasks might include

- Contractor pre-start check list
- A manager to verify contractor documentation
- A safety walk by

Verify Checklists

It's one thing to check off materials, documentation, activities, procedures or policies but what about verifying them? The verification of these items is important to ensure compliance and match the documentation and materials provided to the working being done and the people doing it. This might range from verification of important safety documentation from contractors in relation to a permit to work or a work order. A contractor induction checklist might involve a two way workflow of collect and check items and materials as part of a contractor performing their job task or activity tied to verification of these materials as well.
