 White Card Classes Brisbane: Why EDB Training Services Is Your Best Choice


A White Card is your first requirement if you want to work in construction across Brisbane or Australia. It is not just a mere requirement. It is a legal requirement and also an important piece of training that makes sure that you have a basic knowledge of health and safety measures that are supposed to be observed on a construction site.


 There are many training providers who offer white card classes but not all of them offer the same level of quality, support and real-world understanding. That is where EDB Training Services comes in. With a good reputation, trainers who have experience in the industry and flexible and affordable courses, EDB is one of the best places to get your White Card in Brisbane.


What is a White Card and Why Do You Need It?


The White Card is the name given to the certification that one gets after undertaking the course CPCWHS1001 – Prepare to work safely in the construction industry. This course is compulsory in Australia for everyone who is working or wants to work on a construction site.


Who Needs a White Card?


  • Labourers and apprentices
  • Tradies (electricians, plumbers, carpenters, etc.)
  • Site supervisors and project managers
  • Engineers and architects visiting active sites
  • Safety officers and inspectors
  • Delivery drivers who enter construction zones


In Queensland, Work Health and Safety (WHS) legislation states that this training must be done face to face unless the person lives over 100 km from a training location.


What to Expect in a White Card Class


The White Card training is intended to be accessible, practical and fast. Most of the courses can be done in one day and takes about 6 hours to complete including the assessment.


The course covers the following:


  • The identification of health and safety legal measures that apply to the construction industry.
  • Learning about the construction dangers and the measures that are supposed to be taken to prevent them.
  • Learning about emergencies and incidents and the ways of handling them.
  • Proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • Safety information to be communicated by the workers.


You will be tested through both theoretical and practical activities such as donning of PPE and reporting of a hazard in the workplace.


Upon completion, you will get a statement of attainment and the official White Card will be posted out to you shortly after.
