Substations
Anyone preparing to enter a Transpower substation for the first time, or any short‑term worker or subcontractor working at a single Transpower substation site for a set duration of up to two days must complete a Site Specific Induction (SSI) before starting work.
The induction and safety briefing must be carried out by a person with a minimum of Substation Entry Level 2 (SE2) competency.
Please use the drop-down arrow to access the SSI resources.
- Site Specific Induction (SSI)
Induction and supervision
The site induction and safety briefing must be completed before work begins. Appropriate supervision must be provided at all times while the worker is on site.
Course components
The Site Specific Induction consists of TWO (2) parts:
- SSI Part A: General Information
Part A introduces the safety requirements, site security, and emergency procedures for working in any Transpower substation, and outlines common hazards and the methods used to identify and manage associated substation risks. - SSI Part B: Safety Briefing Checklist (PDF) (to be updated)
This checklist must be completed on site, before any work starts, with a person who holds Substation Entry Level 2 (SE2) competency or higher.
The inductor is responsible for working through the checklist in full, covering all areas specific to the substation being entered.
Retain in records
The signed and completed Site Specific Induction checklist (Part B) must be retained and provided to the person responsible for training records within the organisation and must be kept by the company for a period of TWO (2) years.

Induction and supervision
The induction to the site and safety briefing must be carried out by a suitably competent individual. Appropriate supervision must be provided while on site. Guidance on who can provide this supervision can be obtained from the employee’s organisation.
Course components
There are TWO (2) parts to this course:
- Lines and Structures Fundamentals (e-learning module): This e-learning module provides general information about transmission line sites, what to consider before heading to site, and what to be aware of at lines worksites. Completion of this module is required before heading out to the site.
- Field Site Induction checklist (PDF): This checklist is to be used for the field site visit. It should be printed out and reviewed thoroughly to ensure all necessary preparations are completed before leaving for the site. This will help ensure minimum requirements are prepared for and safety is maintained when on site.
The checklist should be shared with the supervising individual during the site visit to ensure the visitor is well-informed.
Retain in records
The signed and completed Field Site Induction checklist should be retained and provided to the person responsible for training records within the organisation and must be kept by the company for a period of TWO (2) years.
