Contractor Induction Program

 

Welcome to the George Town Council Online Contractor Induction Program.

This standardised induction program is designed for contractors who are engaged to perform work at any site controlled by,  or on behalf of the George Town Council and advises Contractors of their expected safety requirements and standards when performing works for the Council.

All contractors, their employees and any sub-contractors or suppliers who may be engaged to perform works or deliver services within any worksite controlled by, or on behalf of George Town Council are required to successfully complete the Online Contractor Induction Program.

Being online, this course can be completed using a standard Web Browser and takes approximately 15-20 minutes.

Please arrange for ALL relevant staff/workers to complete the induction course:

  • prior to the next visit (or)
  • contact your Council contact person to arrange a suitable time frame 

At the end of the course you will be able to print a CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION which must be signed and returned to:

George Town Council
PO Box 161
George Town Tas 7250
E-mail is accepted to - council@georgetown.tas.gov.au 
 

You will also be required to supply all relevant current copies of insurances, including public liability, workers compensation (where you employ a person coming on to site) and professional indemnity.  Copies of any relevant trade’s certificates or high risk licenses are also required. 

All Certificates of Completion are uniquely numbered.   The number is registered on Council’s Contractor Register.  You may be asked to provide evidence of your induction during any works/project/s, so print a copy and keep with you whilst working on any Council worksite. 

There is no cost to do the induction and your induction will be valid for two (2) years.

This is a general induction and does not attempt to provide all the information.  It is recommended that you visit Tasmanian Legislation Online - www.thelaw.tas.gov.au or Worksafe Tasmanian - www.worksafe.tas.gov.au
