Where did the White Card come from?
A National Code of Practice for the Construction Industry was declared by Safe Work Australia. This would result in a standard and consistent delivery of induction training that is given to workers throughout Australia. By having a National Code of Practice this ensures that construction workers are recognised nationally for the induction training course that is completed
The code of practice is supported by a unit of competency within the CPC08 Construction, Plumbing and Integrated Services Training Package. Therefore training is delivered by RTO’s within the Vocational Education and Training
This White Card Course will replace a range of state systems operating different coloured cards (Blue, Green, Red) and regulatory bodies. The transition of this to the National White Card will take place in each state at different times
The unit of competency is called CPCCOHS1001A Work safely in the construction industry. This has been developed to meet the requirements of the National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work
Upon completion of this unit of competency a student will receive a statement of attainment and the White Card License.
Most states currently have legislation and regulations in place which require completion of a general safety induction course before they can start work in any construction activity. As such, each state has had its own course in place to meet that requirement. However, from 1 July 2009 most states will amend there legislation to ensure that only CPCCOHS1001A will meet the regulatory requirements.
