Your must-do construction course
CPCCWHS1001 - Prepare to work safely in the construction industry
This training course is mandatory for anyone who works, or wants to work, in the construction industry.
Commonly referred to as a “White Card”, our General Safety Induction course^ teaches the knowledge and skills required to work safely on any construction site.
This course requires face-to-face or interactive livestream training unless you reside in a rural area, 100km away from the nearest training provider offering face-to-face training.
Important changes effective 1 February 2019
Changes to General Safety Induction (White Card)
From 1 February 2019 the following changes are being made to the General Safety Induction (White Card):
- You'll no longer be able to get a White Card online unless you live more than 100km away from the nearest training provider offering face-to-face delivery
- If you lose, destroy or have your Blue Card stolen you're no longer able to have it replaced with a White Card and you will need to re-sit the course
- If you need to replace your White Card you must provide to the training provider a copy of the statement of attainment that you received with your white card. If you don't have the statement of attainment you will have to re-sit the course
- If you hold a Construction Induction Card attained in another state and you need a replacement card, you'll either have to re-sit the course or seek a replacement from a registered training organisation in that state.
Need a new White Card? Don't worry, we've got you covered.
Master Builders Queensland offers the option of face-to-face training or interactive real time delivery (livestream via Zoom).
NOTE: You can still work if you have a Blue Card. You do not need to upgrade at this time.
If you completed your White Card with Master Builders and lose it/destroy it or it is stolen, you can attend any Master Builders office for a replacement (fees apply).
