If you have never worked in the construction industry before, or you have lost your White Card, this is the course for you.
This course introduces you to (or refreshes) the current health and safety legislative requirements, personal awareness, and the basic principles of risk management for working in the construction industry — so you can work safely and prevent injury or harm to yourself and others.
