New requirement for a Construction Induction Card From 1 October 2009 all persons on a construction site must complete OHS induction training before they are present on a construction site. The legislation includes offences for persons on a construction site without this training and for a person who allows the person on the site without the training.
Purpose
The purpose of this new requirement is to provide persons working in the construction industry with a basic knowledge of Occupational Health and Safety legislative requirements, the principles of risk management and the prevention of injury and illness in the construction industry. This will be a unit of competence CPCCOHS1001A Work safely in the construction industry from the CPC08 Construction, Plumbing and Services Integrated Framework Training Package.
This course is designed to give participants an understanding of their rights and responsibilities under the OHS legislation and provides the skills to identify hazards on building and construction sites and implement control measures.
The national code of practice for construction induction training provides an option for repeat training if a person leaves the industry for more than two years, or, if the employer considers repeat training necessary.
Who needs a construction induction card? A person who is on a construction site must have a construction induction card. If a person already holds a construction induction card issued in another State or Territory, there is no need to undergo further training, nor is there a need to transfer the card to an ACT card.
If you have undertaken the training and hold a statement of attainment for construction induction training issued by a Registered Training Organisation then you can still work on a construction site, while the Office of Regulatory Services is processing your application for a card.
Pre requisite
There are no pre requisites for this course.
