Procedure for Training and Induction

1. Citipointe Church will ensure that its workers are adequately trained to a level of competency sufficient to ensure their health and safety when at work.

2. Where a staff member requires upskilling in the area that they have been hired for, a training / competency needs assessment will be undertaken prior to the commencement of work or alteration of task allocation.  The assessment will be recorded on the Skills: Competency Needs Assessment.

3. Where skill deficiencies are detected, appropriate training will be provided prior to commencement of work, or as soon after their start date as possible, so workers can perform their designated duties safely.

4. All workers requiring a Worker Competency, Licence or Training will be recorded on  the Employee Competency, Licence & Training Record by the head of department which is a spreadsheet found in each Locations’ folder on the Compliance Drive.  

5. Workers will be selected for specific tasks based on their level of skill and competency to undertake the work safely.

6. Casual labour will be used only when the nominated worker/s satisfies the level of competency required to undertake the task or when appropriate training can be provided prior to commencement of the work.  Proof of the competency of casual labour must be detailed in the Skills: Competency Needs Assessment.

7. Internal and external training (if relevant) will be recorded on the Training Attendance Record.
