To safely and legally operate a boom lift (Elevated Work Platform or EWP) in Australia, the required training depends on the height and nature of the work. Operators of boom lifts over 11 metres must hold a High Risk Work Licence (WP class), while those using lifts under 11 metres need to complete the Operate EWP course or EWPA Yellow Card and demonstrated competency. In addition, Working at Heights training is essential when working over 2m such as in a boom lift.
