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. New HRWL applications incur a fee of $90.00, existing HRWL applications incur a fee of $45.10, Interstate transfer or the renewal of a HRWL incur a fee of $135.10 + $15.00 for a passport photo.
