White Card Training CPCWHS1001 (1 day)

WHS General Induction for Construction is also known as White Card training.  Current workplace health & safety (WHS) legislation requires all employees that either work in the construction industry, or enter any building or construction site, to be trained in workplace health and safety (WHS) in the workplace and hold a valid white card, or industry equivalent.

​

Upon successful completion of the course you will be issued with a SafeWork NSW Statement of Training which allows you to work in the Construction Industry immediately.

 

Recommended Target Audience

Workers who need to hold a White Card to work on a construction site throughout Australia.

​

Enrolment

Participants will be required to complete a booking form prior to training. On this form participants can indicate whether they require further assistance due to any LLN issues. This is most important so that the trainer/assessor can implement any processes prior to the day’s training.

​
