CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry

One course offers many courses of action and pathways for you. This qualification is Release 1 and is the most up-to-date qualification available.

A White Card and Statement of Attainment for CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry will be awarded on successful completion of this course.

Please note, when the White Card is issued to you – you must sign the White Card immediately. We will not be able to issue you a White Card until you have provided us 100 points of ID.

People who need a White Card may include:

• site managers, supervisors, surveyors, labourers and tradespeople
• people who access operational construction zones (unaccompanied or not directly supervised by an inducted person)
• workers whose employment causes them to routinely enter operational construction zones

What do I need before I start?

There are no formal pre-requisite units required for entry into this course.

You will however require basic English language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) skills.

In order for us to issue you with a White Card at the end of your training we require you to provide 100 points of valid identification as per the WHSQ guidelines. You will be required to provide us with this identification before your booking is confirmed. 

The easiest way to provide this is to provide us with a copy of your birth certificate and drivers licence. If you do not have these please review other options here.

Please be advised we are unable to train students on a student visa. You must find a CRICOS registered training provider.

What will I need to provide to enrol?

The minimum requirement to confirm your course enrolment is to provide us with a Unique Student Identifier and payment.

You will also need to complete your enrolment form and upload photo ID. Valid and current photo identification will be required in order to issue your White Card.

This unit is delivered in-class only and is not available by distance or online learning. The Office of Industrial Relations Workplace Health and Safety Queensland requires all White Card training to be face to face in Queensland. Recognition of Prior Learning is not available for this course.

This course is usually delivered from 1pm – 5pm, after the Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) training however, you will receive your specific course schedule on enrolment. You can opt to complete both the RSA and White Card on the same day through our combined course option. Questions? Email us.

With the harmonisation of work health and safety laws under the Model WHS Act, the construction induction card (White Card) is mutually recognised in all states and territories.

Mutual recognition arrangements amongst the states and territories enhance the capacity of construction workers to move across state/territory boundaries without the need to undertake construction induction training in each jurisdiction.

If you are unsure which White Card you should complete you can always discuss it with your employer or relevant work health and safety regulatory authority.

A White Card now replaces the previous Blue Card. Blue cards are still valid and do not yet have an expiry date. However, if you have lost your blue card you will need to do a White Card course as Blue Cards are no longer issued.
