Alignment of Expiry Date of Workers Registration Card and Green Card

You can connect your Construction Workers Registration Card with your Green Card (officially called the Construction Industry Safety Training Certificate), by aligning the expiry date of your Registration Card and your Green Card. The expiry date of your Green Card will then be printed at the back of your Registration Card. With this arrangement, you can work on construction sites without the need of bringing your Green Card along before the aligned expiry date. This arrangement has been accepted by the Labour Department from 2009, please click here for more details.

Please refer to the below table for the registration fee:
