Introduction
Our White Card Training Chinchilla is a quality choice for your required induction health and safety course prior to working safely in the construction industry or as part of construction activities in other industries. It is also recommended if you have had a 2yrs, or more, gap from construction site activities. We provide CSQ funding for this training course – subject to you meeting eligibility criteria
White Card Training is general health and safety training and will introduce you to your obligations and required knowledge to work more safely and help prevent injury or harm to yourself and others. During the White Card Training in Chinchilla, you will learn how to identify and report common construction hazards, understand basic risk control measures, and the procedures for responding to potential incidents and emergencies. It also covers common personal protective equipment (PPE) used for construction work.
At Harness, we prefer delivering this course in person to ensure you get the most out of the training and are not simply ‘ticking a box’ – we take your safety seriously – and the engaging method of delivery will help you be safer at work as you learn from an instructor we have chosen due to their in-depth understanding of the environment you will be working in.
