Your must-do construction course
CPCWHS1001 - Prepare to work safely in the construction industry
Available face-to-face in select Queensland regions or livestreamed, 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.
Our White Card course is fully funded by CSQ for eligible students.*
Need a new White Card? Don't worry, we've got you covered.
Master Builders offers the option of livestream interactive real time delivery or face-to-face training.
NOTE: You can still work if you have a Blue Card. For most worksites 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).
White Card replacement specifications
- If you lose, destroy or have your Blue Card stolen you're not 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 organisation a copy of the statement of attainment issued from the Queensland RTO where you received your White Card. Only units CPCCOHS1001A, CPCCWHS1001 and CPCWHS1001 are still valid and can be replaced (as a general rule, if your White Card was issued prior to 2009 it is likely too old and no longer valid). If you don't have the statement of attainment for a valid unit of competency 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
- In addition to the above criteria, if you need to replace your White Card you must have been active in the construction industry in the past two years.
