About the White Card – new national ‘White Card’ to replace ‘Blue Card’
Under the Workplace Health and Safety Regulation 2008, any person undertaking construction work in Queensland must successfully complete a general safety induction course recognised by Queensland law before they start work in any construction activity. Following completion of the course, the successful participant must be issued with a Statement of Attainment for the course and a general induction card.
The previous accredited course 30215QLD Course in General Safety Induction (Construction Industry), (the Blue Card) expired on 30 June 2009. From 1 July 2009 only CPCCOHS1001A (the White Card) will meet the regulatory requirements.
Interstate Mutual Recognition
Health and safety induction training completed by construction workers in Victoria, New South Wales, Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland is mutually recognised in those states. More information about mutual recognition of the White Card can be found by going to:

How long does the online course take to complete?
The General Construction Induction course has a nominal duration of 6 hours for face to face delivery. Because this is an online course, the length of time may vary depending on your skill level, your previous experience within the construction industry and your level of computer literacy.

Construction induction cards may only be issued to competent participants who:
