CPCWHS1001- prepare to work safely in the construction industry (White Card)

$140

It is a requirement of Safe Work NSW that anyone working on an active construction site must be the holder of an approved and current White Card. They can become void if you haven’t carried out construction work for two consecutive years or more. You will need to provide 100 points of identification and the minimum age to attend is 14 years.

 People who need a white card 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.
  • Visit Verify.licence to look up and verify NSW white cards (or general construction induction cards).
  • This unit of competency specifies the mandatory work health and safety training required prior to undertaking construction work.

The unit 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 Work Health and Safety Regulation 2017.
  • Division 11 of Part 3 of the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations 1996 for Western Australia.
