Construction induction card
Certificate II in Electrotechnology (Pre-vocational) and Certificate II in Electrotechnology (Career Start) include the unit of competency ‘CPCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry’ with an allocation of 6 hours.
This unit of competency is recognised by WorkSafe Victoria for the registration of construction workers for workplace health and safety induction.
Any person on a construction site needs a construction induction card. This includes all work experience or SWL students. Construction induction cards issued in other states and territories are recognised in Victoria. The major requirement is that, at the time of the training, the student was residing in the state or territory of issue.
Students who require a construction induction card for work experience or for another qualification where ‘CPCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry’ is not listed in the qualification structure should be enrolled on VASS in the construction induction card course (course code: CICARD).
