Coles Group Inductions

Types of Inductions

There are three levels of contractor inductions for Coles Group sites:

1. The Coles Group general induction
2. Store/site Safety Orientation
3. Industry specific inductions - for example construction industry inductions and Australian Institute of Petroleum (AIP) inductions required for Coles Express.

1. Coles Group General Inductions

   The Coles Group General Induction covers the Coles Group safety requirements that apply to all Coles Group sites. All contractors who are conducting work on Coles Group sites must have completed the Coles Group General Induction.

   The Coles Group General Induction is valid for 2 years.

   The Coles Group General Induction is available online, i.e. on the internet and is accessible via this web page:

   Online Contractor Induction

   All contractors are required to complete the online induction.

   Coles Group General Safety Induction Card

   An induction card will be available after the completion of the online induction process to demonstrate that the online induction has been completed.

   Contractors must have their Coles Group General Safety Induction card with them at all times whilst on a Coles Group site.

2. Store/Site Safety Orientation

   The Site Orientation is to be completed/reviewed each time a contractor arrives on site. The Site orientation can be found with the sign in register. It includes any new hazards which the contractor would not be aware of through the Coles Group General Induction, including details of the work other contractors are conducting at site.

   When a contractor has completed the orientation they are required to sign the store log book to acknowledge that they have completed it and understand it.

3. Industry Specific Inductions

   There are a number of special inductions which may arise out of legislative or industry requirements such as the construction industry induction in some States. These special inductions are required in addition to the Coles Group General Induction.
