About
Induction
Completing this induction enables the right of entry to Farra workplace.
It DOES NOT provide you with the right to operate any machinery. All visitors to the site must sign in through the kiosk located at the entrance of each workshop.
As an on-site Contractor, you will be periodically assessed on your work practices to ensure hazards are recognised and reduced as much as possible. For those Contractors who are undertaking a significant project within the Farra premises, you will need to provide a Health & Safety plan identifying any hazards likely to occur and your methodology for minimising these hazards.
Compliance Coordinators.
Divisional Managers act as Compliance Coordinators. It is their role to implement the Health and Safety System, ensure actions on the Annual Plan are completed, act as Emergency Coordinators, lead the Accident Investigation team and manage Contractor Compliance.
