60 days if the worker has applied for but not yet been issued with a general construction induction training card.
Once a person has successfully completed general construction induction training they may apply to the regulator for a general construction induction training card.
If a worker has applied for a general construction induction training card and has not been notified of the decision on the application within 60 days of submitting the application, the worker is taken to hold a general construction training card until a decision is made by the regulator. If the worker receives a cancellation notice, they must return the card as requested in the notice.
Where a worker holds a card that is issued by a regulator in a different jurisdiction to where the work is being carried out, then the card is recognised as being valid as long as it is used in accordance with the terms and conditions under which it was granted. For example, this does not apply if the card has been suspended or cancelled.
Workers must keep their card available for inspection by an inspector. They will also need to provide their card to the person conducting a business or undertaking that engages them so they can be sure the worker has successfully completed the training.

6.2              Workplace specific induction training
Workplace specific induction training aims to provide information about work health and safety issues and safe work practices that are specific to the construction workplace. It should be conducted by a person conducting a business or undertaking that has management or control at the workplace or by the principal contractor for the construction project.
This training need not include common information already provided to workers, such as that contained in the SWMS or common matters covered in general construction induction training.

Workplace specific induction training may cover the following:
    * hazards and control measures relevant to the site
    * location of underground services
    * site specific safety documents, policies and plans (e.g. traffic management plans, the WHS management plan)
    * supervisory, consultation and reporting arrangements
    * site safety rules
    * workplace facilities, including their location, use and maintenance
    * first aid provisions and emergency procedures, including after-hours emergency contacts
    * health monitoring requirements and procedures
    * access, egress and security
    * how safety issues are resolved.
All workers should attend workplace specific induction training so they can become aware of procedures, management and reporting arrangements, as well as other issues that are relevant to a particular construction workplace. Other persons who visit the site may also require some workplace specific induction training.
Workplace specific induction training can be delivered in a variety of ways, including:
    * toolbox talks
    * pre-start
