Queensland’s construction industry is growing fast, and a White Card is the legal entry ticket to any building or construction site. Here are ten common roles that require one.
- General labourer - site clean-up, moving materials, trenching and scaffolding
- Carpenter - working at heights with saws, nail guns and power tools
- Construction electrician - wiring and switchboards around live power and confined spaces
- Plumber - drainage, gas and water connections in trenches and on scaffolding
- Concreter - pouring and finishing concrete using heavy and vibrating equipment
- Plant and machinery operator - bulldozers, forklifts, cranes and excavators
- Painter and decorator - interior and exterior work at height, around fumes and dust
- Bricklayer or blocklayer - walls and masonry using cement, tools and scaffolding
- Site cleaner or maintenance worker - handling debris, sharp tools and chemicals
- Apprentice - entry-level workers across carpentry, plumbing, roofing and electrical trades
Why the White Card matters
The requirement comes from Queensland’s Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011. The one-day course covers site hazards, WHS legislation, PPE and emergency procedures - the knowledge every one of these roles relies on to stay safe.
