The induction must be completed for each individual person who will be working on a BAS site – a company-wide induction, or a supervisor only induction, is not acceptable.
You will need to show the certificate or a photo of the certificate when requested or it may result in non-conformance.  Our on-site representative(s) will assess each situation individually.
You can complete the induction at any time after successful BAS registration or subcontractor approval. You will need to renew your induction certificate every two years.

These are contract arrangements where the services or goods are provided for a specified term on the basis of a competitive value for money tendering process. These tenders are usually open or public tenders.
All open tender opportunities are publicly advertised on the Department of Housing and Public Works QTenders website. Tender documents are only available through BAS eTender.

We are committed to providing fair opportunity to quote to our registered contractors, suppliers and consultants. We are also committed to providing preference to local industry.

BAS is also committed to the Queensland Government Procurement Strategy and Policy.

No. However, as a Building and Asset Services registered entity, you will be given opportunities to quote subject to:
the category of registration,
location of the work,
the number of available offerors in that local pool, and
the completeness of your registration details

17. What is PQC and do I need to be registered?
Our department manages the Prequalification (PQC) System. It applies to building industry contractors who wish to tender for projects valued at more than $1,000,000 from 1st September, 2017 and building industry consultants who wish to be considered for high-risk commissions and commissions over $60,000.
If you wish to be considered for these works, you must be registered with PQC.
PQC is a separate registration to BAS registration.

No. However, if you are self-employed, you must have personal injury insurance for your own protection.

19. Who are my ‘workers’?
The definition of ‘worker’ includes subcontractors in accordance with section 7 of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (WHS Act)
– a person ‘is a worker if the person carries out work in any capacity’ for a person conducting a business or undertaking, including work as an employee of a contractor or subcontractor.

Yes, all Building and Asset Services contractors must ensure that all of their workers, including approved subcontractors, complete the Working with Building and Asset Services – WHS Compliance Online Induction before the commencement of any work on site.
If you are unable to produce the certificate or a photo when requested it may result in non-conformance. Our on-site representative(s) will risk assess each situation individually. They will review the contract scope, risk and time for delivery and discuss with the contractor options to replace the worker on-site until the worker successfully completes the induction and produces evidence of successful completion of the induction.
