    The key takeaways are that employees must complete the health and safety induction form, familiarize themselves with policies and procedures, report any unsafe practices, and attend required training.

    The steps to complete the health and safety induction are to fill out the Health, Safety and Environment Induction Report form with your line manager and return it within 2 weeks of starting employment for full-time staff or 2 days for short-term/casual staff.

    Employees are responsible for taking care of their own health and safety as well as others who may be affected by their actions at work. They must also attend any training required by their manager.
