Visitor Induction Training

It is recommended that a minimum of two skid crew members and the Foreman have had satisfactory training on how to conduct a Visitor Induction. The following is a checklist of what the minimum requirements of a Visitor Induction should consist of.
Contractors will also require to be site inducted on their first initial visit to each work site area (by crew not each setting location).
The Trainee acknowledges that they understand and are confident to conduct a Visitor Induction as and when required. -
IMPORTANT:
All employees have the right to refuse a Visitor and/or Contractor access to any area of the work site if that person does not meet the relevant requirements or it is deemed unsafe for that person to visit the requested area.
At times it may be relevant for the visitor to remain at the Safe Zone/Area (if minimum PPE is correct) OR at the staff container.
On occasion a visitor may require a host for the entirety of the visit.
