Why Do I Need a White Card?

If you are currently employed in a trade industry in Australia or you work on a construction site, it is compulsory for all workers to hold a current White Card, or a ‘Work Safely in the Construction Industry ‘certificate. A White Card is crucial to ensure you are aware of the occupational health and safety requirements for yourself and your fellow employees.

If you are short for time like most Australians, it is now easier than ever to obtain a White Card through Eclipse Online Education’s online courses, which are nationally recognised. The efficiency of their White Card certificates allows you to go at your own pace in completing your online course. Formerly given different names according to the state and territory, the White Card is a nationally recognised qualification and is a compulsory requirement for anybody who is planning a career in the construction industry in NSW, Queensland, Western and South Australia, Northen Territory, ACT, Victoria and Tasmania.

Best of all, when you choose an online course with Eclipse Online Education, you don’t have to pay for the course if you don’t complete it! You can sign up and start your ‘Work Safely in the Construction Industry’ online course for free, and only pay after you have completed the course.

Benefits of a White Card from Eclipse Online Education

Your White Card course from Eclipse Online Education offers you many benefits in the construction industry. Not only will it teach you to be prepared and avoid the common types of accidents that happen on construction sites, it will also help save your life. Furthermore, employers appreciate that you have already taken the initiative to secure yourself a White Card, showing that you are dedicated and committed to a career in construction. Having a White Card is a ‘licence’ to let others know that you have what it takes to work in a hazardous environment safely. Not only that, but there are implications if you are on site and do not carry a White Card – there are maximum fines of $11,000 and a 100-point penalty for the employer.
