Why Is a Construction Industry White Card Important for People Living in Mount Cotton?

The White Card provides benefits to Mount Cotton residents for reasons which differ from those in urban and industrial population centres. Local construction activity often presents hidden hazards which can create serious safety risks if workers are not properly trained.


How Does Construction Inudstry White Card Training Help Workers on Large, Open, and Semi-Rural Construction Sites?

These sites present challenges which include uneven terrain, limited fencing, wildlife exposure, and multiple access points. White Card training provides workers with the knowledge required to manage safety risks in open and informal work environments.

White Card training teaches participants how to assess risks and make safe decisions without constant supervision.
