Top advantages of the Red card training at Victoria

By Oliver Grenade


If you are working in the construction sector in Victoria, then you need to undergo the Red card training. This is not only for the trade people, but also for the labourers and also for the project managers who may be working in the site of construction. The construction induction training as it is known is mandatory and is required through law for any person who is working in the industry and the person has to obtain the red card after the training which is for a very short time.

Individuals that work on a construction site or require access to a construction site must hold a red card. This may apply to inspectors as well as architects that need access to a construction project unescorted. Red card training will provide these individuals with the right job training and preparation to access a building site. Once the course has been completed, the red card will allow workers unescorted access to a construction site.



The Occupational Health and Safety organization in short known as the OHS is the one that is involved in laying the laws that need to be followed in this profession and these are taught in the construction induction training course. There are various topics covered here and some of these include those like hazard controlling measures, the incident reporting procedures, the communication reporting processes, and other similar ones. The main topic is the methods of navigating through the site of construction that will help in avoiding the accidents from occurring. Laws pertaining to the environment and how the construction can affect it are also part of the course.

To obtain a red card, construction workers must register through a Recognised Training Organisation approved by the WorkSafe VIC. Throughout the course, students will be trained by experts in the construction field on essential safety information and the requirements of the OHS. Courses are inexpensive and can cost as little as $60.00 for a 2 to 4 hour course.

These courses are also available on the internet and since they are completed within a very short time, they are very useful for all those who are not able to be on the course because of lack of time. The red card training is much more easily and effectively obtained through the online training program.

Once an individual completes the course a temporary sixty day certificate is provided, the permanent card is sent in the mail. For individuals who are interested in working in the construction field, a red card is the first step to gaining access to the industry. In addition, individuals that work in fields that are impacted by construction projects may find a red card training course beneficial.
