• WP high risk work licence (EWP – boom 11 m or more): required by law when the boom length is 11 m or more, measured on the boom at full extension, not by the height you are working at. It is issued by the state regulator after a national assessment and is valid for 5 years. The training certificate on its own only allows an operator to work for 60 days while the licence is issued.
• Yellow Card (EWPA) (EWP Yellow Card – scissor, vertical or boom under 11 m): industry training for scissor lifts, vertical lifts and boom lifts under 11 m. It is not a government licence, but most sites ask for it, and our under-11 m operators hold it.
• White Card: mandatory for anyone doing construction work in Australia, whichever machine they operate.
At DL Aus Group, our EWP operators are experts in the operation of a variety of elevated work platforms, ensuring safe and efficient access to elevated work areas on construction sites and in industrial environments. These platforms are essential for tasks that involve working at heights, such as installation, maintenance, and inspection.
• Scissor Lifts: Scissor lifts are platforms that move vertically, providing stable and safe access to high areas. They are commonly used in construction, maintenance, and warehousing. Scissor lifts are ideal for tasks that require working at a consistent height and offer a larger working area for multiple workers.
• Boom Lifts: Boom lifts, also known as telescopic or articulating boom lifts, provide extended reach both vertically and horizontally. They are perfect for tasks that require maneuvering around obstacles or reaching areas that are difficult to access with a straight vertical lift. Boom lifts can be used for a wide range of tasks, from electrical work to tree trimming.
Under 11 m, scissor lifts and vertical lifts: boom lifts with a boom under 11 m, and scissor and vertical lifts at any height, do not need a government licence. The operator needs training on the machine — the EWPA Yellow Card or an RTO course (RIIHAN301E) — and most sites ask for it. A White Card is still mandatory on construction sites.
• 11 m or more (measured on the boom): boom-type EWPs with a boom length of 11 m or more need a WP high risk work licence, plus a White Card. Scissor lifts and vertical lifts never need a WP licence, whatever their height.
• Safe Operation: Operating telescopic and articulating boom lifts and scissor lifts to safely lift and move workers, tools, and materials to elevated positions.
• Strict Safety Adherence: Following strict safety protocols to ensure the safety of lifting operations, including conducting regular equipment checks and coordinating with site teams.
• Effective Communication: Collaborating with other worksite teams to coordinate movements and ensure operational efficiency, ensuring a seamless workflow.
• Routine Inspections: Performing regular equipment inspections to ensure that all machinery is in optimal working condition and safe for operation.
