Safety training for your whole crew — without the downtime

Nationally recognised asbestos, silica and White Card training, plus respirator fit testing, run for your team by an experienced WHS facilitator and assessor. Plain English, practical, and organised around your project.

Why businesses use Johnn
  • Meet your duty to train — businesses must give workers the training they need to work safely with hazards like asbestos and silica, and every construction worker needs a White Card.
  • Whole-team sessions — up to 30 people per session, scheduled around your program.
  • Workers arrive ready — free study guides and practice tests mean less time off the tools.
  • One point of contact — training, assessment and fit testing from the same trainer.

Training for your team

The high-harm hazards on construction sites, taught so a first-week apprentice and a site supervisor both get it.

🧱

Asbestos Awareness

11084NAT

Where asbestos hides, the health risks, friable vs non-friable, and exactly what to do if it's found. Essential for anyone working on buildings built before 1990.

💨

Silica Dust Awareness

10830NAT

Controlling respirable crystalline silica from cutting, grinding and drilling concrete, stone, brick and tile — a major focus for regulators since the 2024 engineered stone ban.

🪪

White Card

CPCCWHS1001

General construction induction — required by law before anyone starts work on a construction site. Ideal for new starters and apprentice intakes.

😷

Respirator Fit Testing

RPE

Tight-fitting respirators only protect if they seal. Fit testing checks each worker's mask, so your silica and asbestos controls actually work.

🦺

Personal Protective Equipment

PPE

Choosing the right gear, wearing it correctly and looking after it — and understanding why PPE is the last line of defence.
