White Card Melbourne Course Details
Each year in Australia, workplace injuries in the construction sector cost the economy billions of dollars in lost productivity and health care expenses. The White Card Course Melbourne is essential for reducing these risks by educating workers on the best safety practices and compliance standards needed in the construction industry.
Mandatory for those seeking to work in the construction industry in Melbourne, this course provides essential WHS knowledge needed before undertaking any construction tasks. Participants are expected to demonstrate an understanding of Work Health & Safety (WHS) legislative requirements.
Led by our expert trainers, you will learn to identify and report construction site hazards, effectively use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and understand the fundamental principles of risk management to prevent injuries and illnesses. The course combines theoretical insights, practical training, and assessments to equip students with the necessary skills for a safe and successful career in construction.
