Coles and Myers Contractor Induction and Management

NB: WE are not associated with Myer in any way – if you have any issues with this process then you will need to contact them directly.

The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that all Personnel have appropriate qualifications and are provided with adequate information, instruction and training prior to commencing work on MYER premises.

The Contractor will ensure that none of its Personnel undertake work unless they hold a valid licence, permit, certificate of competency or qualification as per MYER’s requirements and the laws of the relevant jurisdiction(s).

MYER Contractor Safety Induction – Australian Requirements

It is the Contractor’s responsibility to ensure that all Personnel:

The Contractor will operate and maintain a complete record of all Personnel inducted.

Sign in Requirements

All Personnel must:

Contractors should be aware of the following requirements:

MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS OBLIGATIONS

General

Work Method Statements (“WMS”)

A WMS must be prepared by the Contractor for all Works and must describe the Works to be completed, outline the steps involved and identify associated hazards and the risk control measures that will be implemented to eliminate or reduce risk.

The Contractor must ensure that all Personnel have a copy of the completed WMS (which must be provided to MYER on request), and must ensure that Personnel can demonstrate an understanding and successful implementation of all control measures outlined in the WMS.

If the Contractor is carrying out routine work, one WMS is sufficient for as long as site conditions remain unchanged.

Contractor Safety Management Plan

A Contractor Safety Management Plan is required for all new stores/sites, refurbishment works, NSW high isk works (as defined in NSW Occupational Health and Safety Regulations) and national/regional periodic and service contracts.

A copy of the pro forma Contractor Safety Management Plan can be obtained from the Site Manager on request.

Corrective Action Report (CAR)

Where an instance of a non-compliance is noted by MYER, a CAR will be issued to the Contractor. The Contractor must propose corrective methods and steps that are reasonably acceptable to MYER and implement them within the timeframe specified in the CAR. Both parties will act reasonably in seeking to reach agreement on the relevant timeframe in each case.

The completed CAR must be returned to the Site Manager or Delegate for review.

Audits

Audits of the Contractor’s safety management systems may be conducted by MYER to assess the level of compliance with its obligations to MYER and under relevant laws. The Contractor must make available all premises, systems, Personnel, documentation and information necessary to enable MYER to ascertain the Company’s level of compliance.

Spotchecks

Spotchecks will be conducted by the Site Manager or Delegate to ensure that the Contractor complies with the risk controls and other requirements outlined in the WMS, this document and all other documents to which this document refers.

COLES, KMART, TARGET INDUCTION

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

  1. The Contractor General Safety 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.
Online Contractor Induction

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.

Please note: Shell Engaged contractors are not required to complete this induction

NB: Only contractors accredited by the Work Place Clearance Group (formally Australian Institute of Petroleum (AIP)) may undertake construction type work and /or forecourt works at a Coles Express site and these works must be undertaken in accordance with the Work Clearance Procedure.

How do I complete this induction?

Follow these steps to complete the Coles Express Permitting Induction:

  1. To open this induction, you must be able to show that you have already completed the Coles Group Contractor General Safety Induction. When you completed that induction, you were given an Induction Card. Find that card so that you can use the induction number on it.
  2. Further down this screen, you will see a box next to the words “Induction Number”. Type the induction number on your Coles Group induction card into that box. Then press the ‘Verify Induction Number’ button.
  3. If you have been successful in verifying your induction number, you will now see two links have appeared; one called “Induction Material” and the other called “Coles Express Induction Quiz”.
  4. Press the “Induction Material” link. It will take you to a viewer, with some induction material for you to read. Read this material carefully, as you will need to understand it to pass the induction.
  5. When you have read and understood the Induction Material; you are now ready to click the “Coles Express Induction Quiz”. This will take you to a short test, to ensure that you now understand the specific requirements of Coles Express.
  6. If you successfully complete the Quiz, you will receive a card confirming you have successfully completed the Coles Express Permitting Induction. You must show this to the site manager (or their delegate) when you introduce yourself on site.
