Entering the vessel works site
If you wish to access Vessel Works to undertake works, then you need to complete a site-specific induction before entry. Each staff or crew member will need to complete this induction.
Please review the material, take the short quiz, and then enter your details. Following the completion of the induction, you are welcome to visit the office and collect your personalised security access card.
A refresher induction is required every 12 months on the anniversary of your insurance certificates.
On your first visit to the site please report to the Site Office to have your ID photo taken and tag issued. Cost $35 (EFTPOS or cash).
Day Visitors
If you are just visiting Vessel Works for the day, then you can be hosted on the site by another person that has completed the induction. That person must always remain with you whilst you visit the site. You must not undertake any work during your visit.
- This inducted person must sign you in, using the visitor registration booth outside the Vessel Works Management Office. Minimum PPE requirements are listed at the booth. High visibility vests can be borrowed from the office.
- If you are visiting the site for a single day you can collect a visitor’s access card from the office.
- Day visitors who receive a day pass will need to complete an induction and meet insurance requirements.
