TLILIC0005 Licence to operate a boom-type elevating work platform (boom length 11 metres or more)
Gain the skills and knowledge needed to competently operate an elevating work platform (EWP) with a boom length over 11m in length and be eligible to obtain a high-risk work licence.
Working on EWPs is considered a high-risk occupation and can lead to serious injury if the equipment is improperly used. Therefore thorough, accredited training is required to protect worker safety and the safety of others.
Our training course caters for EWPs under 11m in height and boom-type EWPs over 11m in height. Like our forklift licensing courses, successful completion of EWP training allows students to apply for a nationally recognised work licence from SafeWork NSW.
High risk work licence
A high risk work licence will be issued by SafeWork NSW for boom-type EWPs. At the completion of the course, successful participants will be given an application form for their high-risk work licence. Once filled out, this form can be taken to an Australia Post outlet, along with 100 points of identification and a passport photo.
Once the application has been submitted, SafeWork NSW will issue your licence. Your licence is not given to you immediately after completing your course.
