How long must a site induction be kept?

Last reviewed July 5, 2026

Induction records should be kept for at least five years. This timeframe aligns with SafeWork guidelines, but always check your local regulations as they can vary by state. Keep them accessible for audits and compliance checks.

Key points

  • Induction records: minimum five years retention
  • Check local regulations for variations
  • Keep records accessible for audits

It's essential to have these records in case of incidents or inspections. They show that you've complied with safety training requirements. If someone claims they weren't trained, you've got the proof to back it up.
