ABOUT THIS COURSE
Operate Elevating Work Platform Over 11m delivers TLILIC0005 — the standalone High Risk Work Licence (HRWL) qualification for boom-type EWPs of 11 metres or more, for workers who already hold a current heights ticket.
In Australia, operating a boom-type EWP at 11 metres or more requires a High Risk Work Licence issued by the relevant state WHS regulator. This course delivers the competency assessment and prepares participants to lodge their HRWL application with the regulator.
A current Work Safely at Heights qualification (RIIWHS204E) is a prerequisite. If you do not hold heights, see the combined Heights + Boom EWP Licence pathway in our Height Safety group.
