Operate Elevating Work Platform (under 11m)

Elevated Work Platform operation is classified as high risk work and therefore legislation requires workers to be assessed for competency. Elevating Work Platform (EWP) Under 11m (RIIHAN301D) is delivered by experienced trainers and assessed by EWPAA approved assessors and awards participants with a Yellow Card.

This course is designed for operators who will be working under the height of 11 metres or operating Scissor Lifts, where a SafeWork NSW Certificate of Competency is not required. A Yellow Card allows the operation of the following machines:

Machine Classes to Choose From:

A different ticket is required for each class. At the time of booking you are required to advise which machine(s) you would like training for:

1. Scissor Lift (SL)

2. Self-Propelled Boom Lift (BL)

3. Trailer Mounted Boom LIft (TL)

An additional $100 applies for each additional machine booked on the same day. Up to 3 machines can be trained in one day, depending on class size.

On completion of the course you will receive an Interim Certificate and once we have submitted the paperwork and assessments to the Elevating Work Platform Association you will receive your National Photo Licence.

Additional information relating to the high risk work licencing requirements for operation of telehanders:

A high risk work licence in the class of CN (non-slewing crane) is required for the operation of a non-slewing telehandler with a lifting capacity rating exceeding 3 tonnes when it is fitted with a boom or jib and hook block.

Where the telehandler is fitted with attachments such as a bucket or forks the PCBU has a duty of care in terms of ensuring workers have appropriate training in the operation of the plant, however a CN licence is not required.

Where the plant is fitted with a personnel box that can be extended 11m or more the operator requires an Elevated Work Platform (EWP) high risk work licence.

If you have any questions regarding high risk work licence requirements please do not hesitate to contact the SafeWork NSW Information Centre on 13 10 50.
