CPCCWHS2001 Apply WHS requirements, policies and procedures in the construction industry

This course applies to workers in the construction industry. It covers fundamental WHS requirements necessary to undertake work tasks within any sector in the construction industry. It is now a mandatory requirement for all trainers who deliver the White Card Course (CPCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry) to hold this particular unit.

Participants will learn to recognise workplace health and safety risks and hazards. It includes the identification of hazardous materials, including asbestos and crystalline silica-containing products, and compliance with legislated work safety practices. Please note, it does not cover the removal of asbestos, which is a licensed activity.

Through video evidence, students are required to demonstrate the performance of work in a safe manner through awareness of risks and work requirements, and the planning and performance of safe work practices with concern for personal safety and the safety of others. You are also required to perform emergency first aid treatment of minor injuries.
