The Group Training Australia (SA) Induction Project is a video based introduction for new apprentices going into trades across a wide range of activities. The project has seen the creation of specific sector based introductions to good safety culture and this has been supported by a wide range of GTASA members. The project has been funded through Employers Mutual as part of its Member Benefit Program.
The aim of the project is to empower new apprentices with some key safety information they can use to stay safe at work and to examine some key hazards in each sector and what they should do if they come across them.
Because of the wide range of trade options, the program is divided into a general induction video and five different sector videos covering the general trade areas. These are:
- Automotive and panel work trades
- Kitchen trades
- Horticultural trades
- Engineering ( electrical and mechanical)
- Construction (plumbing electro technology et al)
The sector videos vary between 12-25 minutes long and the induction video introduction is around 18 minutes in duration.
The project will be available on DVD shortly and launched in early 2012.
This challenging project has involved dozens of shoots with apprentices and stakeholders throughout South Australia and the safety content reviewed by SafeWork SA.
I would like to thank Employers Mutual and the committee of the the GTASA overseeing the project for their ongoing support. The project is also indebted to the many host employers and Health providers Work Air and CHG for the provision of specialist medical interviewees.
Project Scope
- Video production five sector and 1 induction videos
- Project management and consultancy with stakeholders and members with shoots in over 30 locations throughout SA over a 2 year timeline
