Construction Induction Card (White Card formerly Red Card Training)

Melbourne Polytechnic's Construction Induction Card (White Card formerly Red Card Training) short course will provide you with the Construction Induction Card, which is now known as the Nationally Recognised White Card. Learn skills such as how to identify Work Health and Safety (WHS) requirements and construction hazards.

The White Card will qualify you to work safely in the construction industry and should be completed prior to entering a construction workplace.

Gain the necessary skills and knowledge to operate safely in a work environment, including:

• Work Health and Safety legislative requirements
• Construction hazards and control measures
• Work Health and Safety communication and reporting processes
• Work Health and Safety incident response procedures

At the completion of this course, participants will be issued with a Statement of Attainment on the day of training. This statement, valid for 60 days after training is completed, allows the participant to perform construction work while WorkSafe is processing their Construction Induction Card. Your White Card will be mailed to your home address.
