Construction / SWMS & inductions

New starters turn up tomorrow. Convoe has them cleared tonight.

When someone mentions a new worker, Kai starts the induction: SWMS to sign, licence to check, site rules to read. Nobody steps on site until it’s done.

The way it works today

Why inductions slip through.

01

Paper on the tailgate

SWMS signed on a clipboard, if anyone remembers to bring it.

02

Licences never checked

A white card is “in the ute”. Nobody looks.

03

No record when it matters

After an incident, you need to prove they were inducted. You can’t.

The workflow · as it runs in Convoe

From the message to a closed record.

Every induction follows the same 5 steps. Kai does the paperwork; people make the calls.

  1. 1

    Chat

    Someone mentions a new worker.

  2. 2

    Kai detects new starter

    Creates the induction and sends the worker a link.

  3. 3

    Worker signs SWMS

    Reads and signs the SWMS on their phone.

  4. 4

    Licence checked

    White card and trade licence photographed and checked.

  5. 5

    Cleared for site

    Only then do they show as cleared for site.

In Tasks

No separate register. It’s a tab in Tasks.

Every induction is a task with a type. Pick the SWMS & inductions tab to filter, group by project and open any record, with the message it came from.
