CPCWHS1001 – Prepare to work safely in the construction industry

If you’re planning to work in the construction industry, it’s a legal requirement to complete a General Construction Induction course. This training complies with the 2011 Workplace Health and Safety Regulation and equips you with the knowledge and skills needed to safely enter and work on construction sites throughout Queensland.

Through this nationally accredited course, you’ll gain a solid understanding of workplace health and safety laws, helping you to work safely and minimise the risk of injury to yourself and others. You’ll learn how to identify and report common construction hazards, apply basic risk control measures, and follow procedures for dealing with incidents and emergencies. The course also covers the correct selection and fitting of personal protective equipment (PPE) commonly used in construction work.

After successfully completing the course, you’ll receive your General Construction Induction Card (White Card) — your official qualification to legally and safely work in the construction industry.
