COURSE OUTCOMES

This 1 day course will equip you or your staff with the skill and knowledge to:

  • Identify OHS legislative requirements.
  • Identify construction hazards and control measures.
  • Identify OHS communication and reporting processes.

ABOUT THIS COURSE

Looking to work in construction? It is compulsory that you complete a Construction Induction training course to be able to work on a domestic or commercial construction site.

Protect yourself and your work mates by being aware of how to increase safety at work. Whilst the white card is recognised nationally, if you wish to work in a state other than Queensland, check your local work safety regulation first to ensure mutual recognition.

With the change from ‘blue’ to ‘white’ cards many find they will have to undergo the construction induction training to obtain a more recent certificate that allows workers to work across borders.

While your Blue Card will still allow you to work as long as it is not expired, many construction companies are requiring that all employees and contractors hold the new national White Card.

Even if you are a current holder of a Blue Card, as Axiom College can no longer issue the blue card, it is recommended that you complete the white card course and upgrade to the national White Card today.

Lost your white card?

If you have lost your white card and need a replacement, Axiom College can offer replacements for a $65 fee. This only applies to students who had attained their original White card through one of our campuses. Please call to have this arranged for you.

Blue Cards were previously issued in QLD as proof of training in the construction industry. If your blue card becomes lost, damaged or destroyed, it can’t be replaced. You will need to complete the current generation construction induction training course and obtain the unit CPCWHS1001 to be issued with your new general construction induction training card.
