Course Overview
Licence to Operate a Boom-Type Elevating Work Platform (Boom Length 11 Metres or More) is part of our High Risk training delivery we provide as an individual unit. The Elevated Work Platform is also known as a Cherry Picker or EWP. This is a good ticket for those looking to enter the construction, mining, or warehousing industries.
This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to safely operate a boom-type Elevating Work Platform (EWP) where the length of the boom is 11 metres or more in accordance with all relevant legislative requirements. Boom-type elevating work platform means a telescoping device, hinged device, or articulated device, or any combination of these, used to support a platform on which personnel, equipment and materials may be elevated.
A person performing this work is required to hold a boom-type elevating work platform High Risk Work Licence (HRWL). Competence in this unit does not in itself result in a licence. A licence is obtained after competence is assessed under applicable Commonwealth, state or territory work health and safety (WHS) regulations.
