Frequently asked questions
What is a Plant Induction Register?
A Plant Induction Register is a document or record used in workplaces that keeps track of the induction and training provided to workers and operators regarding the use of high-risk plant equipment. "Plant" in this context refers to machinery, equipment, tools, and any apparatus used in the work environment.
Why use BuilderShield as your Plant Register?
Plant Inductions must be received from all contractors using Plants and appropriately, which is tricky when using email and a manual filing system. BuilderShield streamlines the process by enabling a contractor to complete Plant Induction on-site through an online form, and all Plant records are viewable in your BuilderShield dashboard.
What happens if plants are on-site without being on the Plant Register?
In Australia, operating a plant on-site without first registering it can lead to legal and safety implications, especially for high-risk construction work. Without training (and proof of their acknowledgment of the risk) the likelihood of accidents and injuries increases.
Even without an injury, operating non-registered plants can lead to substantial fines or penalties, prosecution, work stoppages and invalidate insurance. There are also repetitional risks for operating non-compliant sites that can affect people willing to work with you.
Was BuilderShield made by Builders?
Yep! Jack is a master builder and owner of Slatter Building and had the idea to collect contractor and employee information through his website. Working with a OHS coordinator to understand his obligations, Jack worked with Luke to create his ultimate OHS management system and BuilderShield was born.
