Green Cards will be issued to participants of the 1-day Safety and Health Induction Course which also services as proof of Registration with CIDB under the category of Construction Personnel.
Special Insurance Coverage

Those Construction Personnel who have been registered with CIDB and issued the Green Card are automatically covered by a special Insurance Scheme that insures the Construction Personnel against death and accidents.

This Insurance Scheme is the result of CIDB�s continuous efforts towards improving Construction Workers� welfare as well as providing security for them and their loved ones.
