Whitecard Training


  • Course Description

    A construction worker must have completed general construction induction training (commonly known as the “White Card”) before being permitted to commence work on a construction site. This is a mandatory requirement across Australia.


    If you have never worked in the construction industry before or you have lost your White Card; then this is the course for you.


    This course specifies the mandatory work health and safety training required prior to undertaking

    construction work. 


    This course requires the person to demonstrate personal awareness and knowledge of health and safety

    legislative requirements in order to work safely and prevent injury or harm to self and others. It covers identifying and

    orally reporting common construction hazards, understanding basic risk control measures, and identifying procedures for

    responding to potential incidents and emergencies. It also covers correctly selecting and fitting common personal

    protective equipment (PPE) used for construction work.


    This unit meets the general construction induction training requirements of:


    • Part 1.1 Definitions and Part 6.5 of the Model Work Health and Safety Regulations;
    • Division 11 of Part 3 of the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations 1996 for Western Australia; and
    • Division 3 of Part 5.1 of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2007 for Victoria.

    It is expected that site-specific induction training will be conducted prior to conducting construction work. Licensing,

    legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit. Relevant work health and safety state and territory

    regulatory authorities should be consulted to confirm jurisdictional requirements.
