September "Taiwan Occupational Safety Card" classes quickly filled up, so Nantou County will add 5 free sessions in October. Workers who complete the course and pass the test can use the qualification at other construction sites without repeating general safety and health training, with periodic refresher training still required.

The "Taiwan Occupational Safety Card Safety and Health Training for Construction Workers" is jointly organized by Nantou County Government and the Central Occupational Safety and Health Center of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Ministry of Labor. The October classes will be held in Puli, Caotun, Nantou, Zhushan and Shuili, giving local construction workers more opportunities to obtain the qualification.

The course provides 6 hours of basic professional training plus a test. Those who pass can carry the qualification to different construction sites instead of taking the same general safety and health course again.

Training focuses on basic safety knowledge and hazard identification. As construction sites have complex conditions, knowing how to identify risks before entering a site helps workers apply what they learn to daily work and reduce accidents caused by unfamiliar hazards.

The October classes open online registration on October 5. Eligible Nantou construction workers can apply through the QR code in the official announcement. As September classes filled quickly, workers who need training should check registration information early. Eligibility, class schedules and registration procedures are subject to Nantou County Government announcements.
