Accreditation: This is a non-accredited awareness course. It builds understanding of Safe Work Method Statements and Job Safety Analyses but does not issue a unit of competency. It does not confer competence to prepare or authorise a SWMS. Competence to prepare or authorise a SWMS is determined by the PCBU carrying out the work. It is not a substitute for General Construction Induction training (the 'white card', CPCWHS1001) required to carry out construction work, nor for any high-risk work licence or other accredited or licensed training your work may require.
