• Yellow Card: Required for operators of scissor lifts and boom lifts under 11 meters. This card certifies that the operator has completed the necessary training to safely operate these types of EWPs. The Yellow Card is issued by the EWPA (Elevating Work Platform Association of Australia) and is essential for ensuring safe operations at lower heights.
• High Risk Work License (HRWL): Required for operating boom lifts above 11 meters. The HRWL is obtained through a nationally recognized training program that covers all aspects of elevated work platform operation, including safety protocols, emergency procedures, and equipment handling. This license is essential for managing the increased risks associated with working at significant heights.
• White Card: Mandatory for all operators working on construction sites in Australia, ensuring that they understand basic workplace health and safety (WHS) principles.In addition to the HRWL, a White Card is also required, which is a general construction induction card that ensures the holder understands the basic principles of workplace health and safety (WHS) in construction environments.
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 Meters: Elevated work platforms with a reach under 11 meters are commonly used for lower height tasks. Operators of these platforms typically need a Yellow Card, which certifies that they have completed the required training to safely operate scissor lifts and boom lifts below 11 meters. The Yellow Card is issued by the EWPA (Elevating Work Platform Association of Australia) and confirms that the operator has been trained to safely operate these types of EWPs. While these platforms do not require a High Risk Work License (HRWL), a valid White Card is still mandatory for all operators working on construction sites.
• Above 11 Meters: Platforms that extend above 11 meters require more specialized operation due to the increased risk associated with working at greater heights. Operators of these platforms must possess a High Risk Work License (HRWL), in addition to a White Card. This ensures that they have undergone extensive training in safety procedures, equipment handling, and emergency response to mitigate the risks associated with working at such heights. The HRWL is crucial for ensuring that operators are fully competent to manage the complexities and dangers of high-elevation tasks.
• 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.
• Above 11 Meters: Platforms that extend above 11 meters require more specialized operation due to the increased risk associated with working at greater heights. Operators of these platforms must possess a High Risk Work License (HRWL), in addition to a White Card. This ensures that they have undergone extensive training in safety procedures, equipment handling, and emergency response to mitigate the risks associated with working at such heights. The HRWL is crucial for ensuring that operators are fully competent to manage the complexities and dangers of high-elevation tasks.
