About this template
A residential site induction handbook for builders of new houses, townhouses and renovations, written for the tradesperson on a small lot. It covers the white card and licence check, site rules, security and the public, the trade sequence on a house, temporary power and underground services, falls and roofs under the housing construction work rules, ladders, excavations, asbestos, lead paint and silica in renovations, occupied homes and neighbours, amenities, emergencies, reporting and a worker acknowledgement. The Residential Site Induction Checklist is the tick sheet the builder completes; this is the handbook each worker reads and keeps.
