What Will Be Taught?

Hazard And Risk Identification

As mentioned above, hazards and risks are littered across the construction environment. This means that workers need to have a sense of these dangers and be able to make positive choices for both themselves and others.

Through this Capital Training Institute White Card training course, students are taught how to identify dangerous and hazardous materials and manage these risks in a productive manner.

Furthermore, through the appropriate risk identification methods, students will also be able to highlight potential workplace risk and mitigate their impact.

Emergency Procedures

Whether it is a workplace accident or an external threat, workers need to know the best way to respond and manage a situation. Often, in the construction industry, the emergency will be injury-related so securing the scene, tending to the injured party and raising the alarm are vital practices to know.

This is one objective of our White Card course that we take seriously and offer current, industry-related information for a student’s future concerns.

Safe Work Practices

It is important for employers to remember that they have a duty of care to ensure the health, safety and welfare of all employees, visitors, contractors and others in the workplace.

As such, this course provides insight in applying safe work practices and conducting audits to ensure the standard never slips.
