Construction White Card Training Course

This course is often referred to as the NSW OHS Green Card Training course. There is no difference between the Green Card training or White Card training courses. This course is approved by Workcover NSW.

Who Needs A White Card?

To obtain a job on a building or construction site in NSW it is a requirement that everyone holds a current Occupational Health & Safety Certificate, or “Construction White Card”. The white card is compulsory for each person as proof of completion of the "OHS General Induction for Construction Work" training.
