FAQs

What is a WP Licence?

A WP High Risk Work Licence is required to operate a boom type elevating work platform with a boom length over 11m.

High Risk Work Licences are issued by WorkSafe Queensland (phone 1300 362 128). Once you have completed TLILIC0005 - Licence to operate a boom-type elevating work platform (boom length 11 metres or more) training and assessment, you can apply online for a High Risk Work Licence, within 60 days, with a fee of $106.11.

What does a WP Licence cover?

A WP Licence covers any boom type EWP including truck mount, trailer mount, or self-propelled, which has the capacity to go over 11m. Scissor Lifts are not boom type EWP.

How do I apply for the WP High Risk Work Licence?

Once you complete the training and assessment of the TLILIC0005 - Licence to operate a boom-type elevating work platform (boom length 11 metres or more) training course, you will be provided an Assessment Summary Form (AS1) form.

You can then complete the WorkSafe Queensland online application for a new HRW Licence and pay the $106.11 application fee, within 60 days of successfully completing the Boom over 11m course.

How long does a WP Licence last?

High Risk Work Licences must be renewed every 5 years.

How do you renew your HRW Licence?

You will receive a renewal notice from WorkSafe Queensland 4-6 weeks before your expiry date, and will need to follow the HRW Licence renewal process or you can call WorkSafe Queensland on 1300 362 128.

Is EWP high risk?

Boom Lifts with a boom length over 11m require a WP High Risk Work Licence.

Other EWP such as Scissor Lifts, Vertical Lifts and Boom Lifts under 11m do not require a WP High Risk Work Licence.

However training for the safe use of this equipment is required as part of the risk management responsibilities under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011.

Our Nationally Recognised courses for Work Safely at Heights + Operate EWP provide the necessary training to allow you to safely operate Scissor Lifts, Vertical Lifts and Boom Lifts under 11m.

Can I operate a Scissor Lift with a WP Licence

Because a Scissor Lift is not a boom type EWP, you do not need a WP High Risk Work Licence to operate it.

There is, however, a duty of care to ensure training, instruction and safe systems of work have been provided to the operator of any plant, under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011.

HiReach Training's Work Safely at Heights + Operate EWP course covers Scissor Lifts, Vertical Lifts and Boom Lifts under 11m, and will provide the necessary training to allow you to safely operate this equipment.

Is a telehandler / Manitou a High Risk Licence

The licencing requirements for a telehandler differ based on the capacity and attachments:

a non-slewing telehandler with a lifting capacity greater than 3 tonne and fitted with a boom or jib and hook block requires a CN High Risk Work Licence.
a slewing or non-slewing telehandler fitted with a personnel box / work platform that extends 11m or more requires a WP High Risk Work Licence
a slewing or non-slewing telehandler fitted with bucket or forks does not require a High Risk Work Licence, although there is a duty of care to ensure training, instruction and safe systems of work are provided to the operator. In this case RIIHAN309F - Conduct telescopic materials handler operations training is appropriate.
