Autonomous Buildings

Autonomous buildings are simply constructions that support themselves, and as we move forward with construction technology, we move toward a construction future. An autonomous building can create it’s own energy, dispose of its own waste, collect it’s own water and is ultimately as sustainable as possible (it is self sustainable). Check out this wikipedia page on autonomous buildings, to see more information on how and when they will work.

Also check out this video on self sustaining building in the 21st Century, it’s actually quite interesting to see how it works and where we are at now.

Get online and complete your white card course so that you can be a part of this kind of construction in Australia. White Card Online ensures that you construct safely, and is a necessity to work in Australia on a construction site.

 

Earthquake Engineering and Construction

It’s not actually in the white card course, but it is quite interesting to learn about how buildings are constructed in earthquake prone areas where the danger of natural disasters is much larger and much more prevalent. Although we don’t get earthquakes in Australia too often, it is necessary to know how to prevent building destruction if there was one. This would come in very useful if you were planning on moving to another country to do work, where you would need to obtain their version of the white card. Australia does not include it in the course only because are not as prone to earthquakes as other countries. If, however it was a threat then we would impose safety regulations for buildings that are more stringent than the ones that we have now.

The Goals of Earthquake Construction Proofing

White Card Online

There are two main goals of construction in earthquake prone areas, and these are pretty simple.

1. The first is that the engineers should try and predict how dangerous an earthquake could be in that particular area.

2. The second is simply to construct the building in a manner that is fit to this danger, so that in the event of a disaster, the buildings structural integrity would stay strong.

This sounds a whole lot simpler than it actually is, check out this Wikepedia page on just how difficult it can be to construct a building in an earthquake prone zone, something Japan is an expert at.

The Seismic Performance Assessment

A seismic performance assessment is not something that you will see in the white card online course, but if the white card you were after was for another country, then it might be. This is simply a test that determines whether a building would be safe in the event of an earthquake. The test is really just a simulation of an earthquake at different magnitudes, to see at what point the building would crumble. It’s really quite interesting to see how it works (they basically just shake a mock building around a little bit).

Grab Your White Card Online to Participate In This Kind of Construction

In any case, you need your white card to even step onto anything deemed a construction site so that you are safer in the work that you do and the building that you are working on is safer in it’s structure. If you even wanted to work in earthquake preventative construction, (as rare as it is in Australia) you would have to complete the white card course. So get online and finish it today to have it under your belt for the future.

 

Construction in High Risk Areas

White Card Online is a course that increases safety on all work sites around Australia. But you should also know that owning an oh&s construction induction card increases the safety of the buildings that are being constructed by those with a white card who constructed them. As an example, the bushfire prone areas in NSW need to have construction tailored to that areas particular needs. This is seen in the webpage linked here, so check it out.

White Card Online

The White Card online course improves your safety and improves the safety of the structure being built. So the workers building the construction sites in NSW fire prone areas are all white card certified.

 

The Extremes of Construction

Construction is evolving and continuing to expand across the harshest of terrains. The construction industry is thus becoming more and more versatile, with rough terrain equipment, and construction possibilities that are expanding every single day. For example, you may want to have a read of this news article that details how construction work is starting in such harsh terrains as Antarctica!

White Card Online

The terrain that these machine operators and constructors are working in is around -35 degrees Celsius and is starting around Lake Ellsworth. This work would be hard and high risk for those involved. But rest assured any workers that come from Australia would have to posses their white card first!

 

Some History In Famous Construction

History has shown us that construction can be a cornerstone to creating and building great monuments and interesting historical figures. So essentially, if you are in construction, then you could end up working on a site that adds something to history. By adding to history you are becoming a part of it. Check out the video below on the construction of the hoover dam, and think about all the workers who worked there. Wouldn’t you love to be part of a project like that? The opportunities of construction are endless, and the white card online course can open the door to these opportunities by allowing you to work on any construction site around Australia!

Jump online today and complete your white card course so that you can work on any construction site around Australia. Think about it, what if you were part of the Sydney harbor bridge construction, or the Sydney Opera House. The opportunities are endless when you join the field of construction.

 

Having Some Fun On The Site

Construction sites are a place of professionalism and safety, and White Card Online does not condone any sort of activity on the site that could be considered dangerous or unsafe. The White Card instead, allows you to work on a site while knowing exactly what you can and cant do while working with your mates. The video below shows an example of something you should not do on a site, but hey, it would take some serious skill.

Get your white card online to be able to work on any construction site.

 

Construction Time Lapses

Time lapses are interesting displays of how a project can be constructed. Check out the videos below to see how some of the more interesting construction projects can be performed. These projects often require special skill, but none the less still require the white card, or the equivalent for the country that they are made in.

So get online today and complete your white card online course. This will allow you to grab your construction induction card, and work anywhere in Australia. So if you are thinking of working on projects such as these, you need to first complete your white card online course!

 

Construction Apprenticeships

White card online believes that apprenticeships are the lifeblood of the construction industry. Apprenticeships allow younger construction workers to enter the industry. This allows the industry to continue because there is a lot of training that is needed for the construction industry. The apprentices can the get the training that they need while they are in a comfortable place in their lives to do so.

Check out some of these sites with information on different career paths for apprentices.

CareerOne

TraineeShips

Construction Apprenticeships

SkillsOne

Migas

These sites will allow apprentices to find work within Australia, and this will allow the construction industry to push on with new workers who can train to enter the industry. The White Card Online site allows you to become an apprentice on a site, anywhere in Australia. Once you get this apprenticeship and after completing the white card course, you can start work anywhere in Australia.

 

Working as a Construction Vehicle Operator – White Card Online

Being a Construction Vehicle Operator – White Card Online

The White Card Online course teaches you how to be safe on a construction site, and that means being able to operate a construction vehicle properly. But proper construction vehicle operation is not necessarily easy, and if you are thinking about moving into that field then you should know all about the industry and how it is progressing. In addition to this, you will need to know what the nature of work is like and if it will suit your lifestyle. So read some of the information below on what it is like to be a construction vehicle operator, and what you need to achieve before you can start this work.

The Nature of Work – White Card Online

White card online allows you to work anywhere in Australia, however this will only get you so far. You need to be able to choose what field of work you would like to go into. One of these fields is the construction vehicle operation field, and you might be interested in it because it can be challenging and interesting work. The nature of the work is essentially rather tough, but those in the field assist in almost every area of construction. Nowadays there is almost nothing that is built without construction vehicles, and there is work pretty much everywhere. Something else you should note is that construction vehicle operators also have to work in all weather conditions, and this is especially prevalent in harsher conditions where it is harder to do hand labor.

What Training You Will Need – White Card Online

The White Card Online course teaches you that there is rigorous training to be undertaken when applying to work in a higher risk field. As a result, you must do a lot of training to be able to work in the construction operation field. Usually a worker will start out with work on light machinery, and then progress to a further state of heavy machinery operation. You could be working on a site with cranes, and bulldozers, and with everything in between. So White Card online training is general training and if you want to specialise in a  particular field,  do some research on that field first. Also you should note that the field you want to go into might require some extra training for that particular machinery range. So pick wisely, what you will want to be doing.
