Overview

The General Construction Induction White Card training provides new and existing workers with the basic understanding and knowledge needed to start or continue work within the building and construction industry.

This card was formerly known as a blue card.

To hold a general construction induction card, you must show knowledge of:

• Occupational health and safety legislative requirements
