CPCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry
CPCWHS1001
A white card (or general construction induction card) is required for workers who want to carry out construction work.
People who need a white card include:
• site managers, supervisors, surveyors, labourers and tradespeople
• people who access operational construction zones (unaccompanied or not directly supervised by an inducted person)
• workers whose employment causes them to routinely enter operational construction zones.
The white card becomes void if you haven't carried out construction work for two consecutive years or more. Successful completion of this unit requires the person to demonstrate personal awareness and knowledge of health and safety legislative requirements in order to work safely and prevent injury or harm to self and others.
The course material covers identifying and orally reporting common construction hazards, understanding basic risk control measures, and identifying procedures for responding to potential incidents and emergencies. It also covers correctly selecting and fitting common personal protective equipment (PPE) used for construction work.

Are you prepared for an emergency?
Fire wardens play an important role in ensuring your business is prepared for a fire emergency. Along with your emergency plan, fire wardens are an important risk control measure to ensure that your workplace is prepared should an emergency situation, including fire, occur.

While there is no requirement set out in legislation to have fire wardens, it is important to appoint fire wardens to ensure that you meet your health and safety obligations in relation to emergency plans and procedures. Under the Australian Standard 3745-2010 Planning for emergencies in facilities, there is a requirement for an emergency control organisation to be established and the appointment of chief and deputy fire wardens for a building or facility.
