What is a Site Safety Card and why do you need one?

A Site Safety Card (formerly known as the Site Safe Passport) is proof that you understand essential health and safety practices required on New Zealand worksites.

Many principal contractors and employers require this before allowing site access.

This training helps you:

  • Understand your responsibilities on-site
  • Recognise common hazards and risks
  • Follow safe work practices
  • Meet contractor and employer requirements

The card is widely recognised across the construction and infrastructure sectors and is often the first step to working onsite.

FAQ's about Site Safety Cards

Is the Site Safety Card the same as the Passport?

Yes. Previously known as the Site Safe Passport, it is now referred to as the Site Safety Card in digital or physical card format.

Can I get my Site Safety Card online?

Yes. You can complete training online or via webinar, depending on the course.

Do I need to redo the full course to renew?

All eligible Site Safe courses renew a Site Safety Card. We recommend choosing a course that aligns with your current role or future responsibilities, rather than repeating the same course each time your card is due for renewal.

No. It applies to a wide range of roles across construction, infrastructure, and related industries.
