The unit CPCWHS1001 – Prepare to Work Safely in the Construction Industry (QLD), commonly known as the White Card course, provides the essential knowledge and skills required to work safely on construction sites across Queensland.

For contractors attending DBCT, a valid White Card is a mandatory requirement prior to attending site. This training ensures all inductees understand workplace health and safety (WHS) obligations, hazard identification, and safe work practices in line with both national standards and Queensland regulations, as well as DBCT site expectations.

Upon successful completion of CPCWHS1001, students will receive their White Card, which is mandatory for working on construction sites throughout Queensland. The knowledge and skills gained from this course prepare students to contribute to a safe and compliant construction environment, safeguarding themselves and their colleagues from potential risks.
