Licence to Operate a Boom Type Elevating Work Platform (boom length 11 metres or more) Training

Why Choose This Course

Our aim with this course is to provide the participants with the skills and the knowledge to safely operate an elevated work platform (EWP), and which may lead to the assessments required by the relevant State or Territory to issue a High Risk Work Licence for operating a Boom-type EWP.

Note: An additional fee is charged by the relevant state or territory regulatory bodies for the issuance of High Risk Work Licences.
The High Risk Work Licence for Elevating Work Platforms is required for any EWP which has a boom capable of extension to 11 metres or more in height.

We also recommend that all operators of EWPs are trained in safe operation of the equipment as part of the general Duty of Care required in all workplaces. FSA can undertake assessment separately from training.

During the training sessions we may complete practical assessments where appropriate, in a group environment, on actual work tasks or in a simulated environment
