that are relevant to a particular construction workplace. Other persons who visit the site may also require some workplace specific induction training.
Workplace specific induction training can be delivered in a variety of ways, including:
    * toolbox talks
    * pre-start meetings
    * on-the-job instructions
    * one-off sessions or events called for a specific purpose.
 In housing construction work, PCBUs must provide relevant workplace specific training. Subcontractors can provide this training to the workers they employ or engage and do this on behalf of the builder or principal contractor following appropriate consultation. The builder or principal contractor should discuss with subcontractors the site conditions and specific work health and safety issues to be used for this training and then verify that the training has been provided.
For example, before starting excavation work the builder obtained current underground essential services information for the site. This was provided to all subcontractors who will carry out excavation work, such as foundations, plumbing, electrical, landscaping and fencing subcontractors.  When on site, the builder checks that the subcontractors and their workers are aware of and understand the information and control measures.  Any deficiencies found are addressed prior to any excavation work commencing.

6.3              Other training
Other training may also be necessary to ensure that the worker has the relevant information and instruction when undertaking a particular construction activity. For example, task specific training on how to use fall arrest equipment may be provided to a worker required to work at height.
Task specific training should be developed for the actual task carried out and be regularly reviewed and updated whenever there are changes to the task, processes, systems of work, plant and substances that may affect health and safety.

6.4              Supervision
Supervision is particularly important where workers are unfamiliar with the site or the nature of the work.
Workers in a supervisory role (e.g. leading hand or foreman) should be trained and authorised to ensure the work is carried out in accordance with relevant policies, procedures and the SWMS. In some cases the most experienced worker on the site may take on the role of supervisor.

7.                  GENERAL WORKPLACE MANAGEMENT ARRANGEMENTS

    * providing a safe working environment
    * providing and maintaining adequate and accessible facilities
    * providing first aid
    * preparing, maintaining and implementing emergency plans
    * providing workers with PPE, if PPE is to be used to minimise a risk to health and safety
