White Card Training

The Work Safely in Construction (or White Card) course focuses on providing participants with knowledge required to work on building and construction work sites.

This course is a regulatory requirement for any person performing construction work. Also previously known as White Card or Construction Induction Card.

Our minimum training age for construction induction is 14 years and 9 months.

Safety Systems has been running for 20 years and have come a long way from our humble beginnings. We were established in 2001 by Paul Flood who has spent over 30 years in asbestos management including within WorkSafe. Paul has a Bachelor of Applied Science in Chemistry and Graduate Certificate in Occupational Hygiene.

Paul came up with the idea of Safety Systems as some friends with businesses’ started asking him to check things out for them, safety-wise.

“I was helping them with tenders, work procedures. Then I picked up four hours a week providing consultancy services at the Central Deborah Mine, and I took the plunge and went into business,” he said.

“I have gone from an enforcement role to an advisory one,” Paul said. “Safety Systems’ role is to demystify OH&S for people.” because a lot of businesses don’t have time to study all the technical aspects and legislative requirements. Paul developed some pamphlets, but never really needed them – it all snowballed from word of mouth.

Our first clients were mainly big companies, like Empire Rubber and Keech Castings. “Occupational health and safety is a continuing program, it’s changing all the time.”
