COURSE DETAILS

As at 22 October, there have been 131 Australian workers killed at work in 2020. 27 of 131 are figures in construction alone, so what we teach in NSW is designed to raise awareness of best practices to eliminate risks that cause injuries and fatalities in the work place. In order to work in the Construction Industry, you need to complete a White Card course. This course requires the ability to demonstrate personal awareness of Work Health & Safety (WHS) legislative requirements, and the basic principles of risk management and prevention of injury and illness in the construction industry.

This White Card course covers the basic WHS knowledge required prior to commencing work tasks within any of the sectors of the construction industry.
