The obligation
The Code guides PCBUs on inducting and training young workers, including informing them of their own duties as workers under the WHS Act.
Organisations should have a documented induction program covering all risks present in the workplace, to avoid inadequate ad-hoc induction training. Training should cover matters such as specific hazards and safe working procedures, control measures and their correct use, safety signs, and the safe use of hazardous chemicals including access to safety data sheets. The level of training depends on the degree of risk of each task and the worker's previous experience in the industry.
