Site Safe launches fully online Simplified Chinese Foundation course for construction workers

Site Safe has reached a new milestone in health and safety accessibility with the launch of the Foundation Passport – Building Construction course in Simplified Chinese. This digital-first offering ensures that the 7% of construction workers across New Zealand who read Simplified Chinese can now access critical safety training in their primary language, fully online.

The Foundation Passport is the industry standard for those entering the construction sector or looking to solidify their health and safety knowledge. By removing language barriers, Site Safe is making it easier for a vital part of the workforce to stay healthy and safe onsite and maintain their professional credentials.

Whether you are a newcomer to the industry or an experienced worker looking to refresh your knowledge, this entry-level course provides the essential tools to identify hazards and understand legal safety requirements. The new Simplified Chinese version is designed to be completely self-paced, allowing learners to work through the material at a speed that suits them.

A significant benefit for those seeking to renew their Site Safety Card is the removal of the requirement for an external translator. By completing the course in Simplified Chinese, learners can independently verify their understanding and receive their updated card upon completion.

The course is now available for registration and can be accessed anytime, anywhere, and on any device (including mobile) — from tablets to laptops (recommended)—providing the ultimate flexibility for busy construction schedules.
