Here’s Why You Still Need PPE in an Online White Card Course

Online White Card Course

There are several requirements that you need when taking the Construction Induction training course. One of these requirements is Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that is needed for the practical activity. But is it also necessary to wear PPE when taking the online White Card course? There is a good reason why you are still expected to have the equipment when taking the virtual class via Zoom.

Why Do I Need PPE For The Online White Card Course?

Protective equipment is one of the major requirements when taking the online White Card course. It is so important that you will be refused entry to the class if you don’t have the complete equipment. 

But why is it needed even when the class takes place via Zoom and not in an actual training site? Wearing PPE is part of the safety regulations when you work in construction. By wearing it during the practical activity, you are preparing yourself for what will be your work clothes. In addition to that, it confirms that you are ready for your work ahead because you already have the right equipment.

The required PPE for the online White Card course are:

  • Hard Hat for Head Protection
  • Safety Glasses for Eye Protection
  • Ear Plugs for Hearing Protection
  • High Visibility Reflective Vest
