What types of jobs require a high-risk work licence?
According to SafeWork NSW, a high-risk work licence is required for specific roles that involve complex equipment or procedures, including:
Scaffolding: Erecting or dismantling scaffolds above a certain height.
Rigging: Setting up structural supports, cranes, or hoists.
Dogging: Directing crane operations and ensuring loads are safely secured.
Forklift Operation: Using forklift trucks in warehouses or industrial settings.
Crane Operation: Operating cranes such as tower cranes, non-slewing mobile cranes, or vehicle-mounted cranes.
Hoists and Elevators: Operating man- and materials hoists.
Pressure Equipment: Working with boilers or turbines.
These roles are high-risk because they require advanced technical skills and involve significant workplace safety hazards.
How do I apply for a high-risk work licence?
To obtain a high-risk work licence, you must follow these steps:
Complete Training: Enrol in a recognised training course provided by a registered training organisation (RTO). The course will cover theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed for your high-risk work class.
Pass an Assessment: After completing the course, you must pass a national assessment conducted by a licensed assessor. This test evaluates your competency in performing specific high-risk tasks.
Submit Your Application: Once you pass the assessment, you can apply for an HRW licence through SafeWork NSW. The application will require proof of your identity, completion of training, and payment of the relevant fee.
Receive Your Licence: After approval, you will be issued an HRW licence, which allows you to legally perform the specified high-risk work.
What are the requirements for getting a high-risk work licence?
To obtain an HRW licence, you need to:
Be at least 18 years old.
Complete training through an RTO.
Pass a national assessment.
Provide proof of identity.
Apply to SafeWork NSW with the required fee.
Have a USI number.
Be able to read, write and articulate in English.
Can I work in other states with a high-risk work licence from NSW?
Yes, HRW licences are recognised nationally across Australia under mutual recognition arrangements. However, if you move permanently to another state, you must notify the local work health and safety regulator and transfer your licence to that jurisdiction.
What should I do if my licence expires?
When your high-risk work licence expires, you are no longer legally allowed to perform the high-risk tasks covered by that licence. It is crucial to renew your licence before its expiration date to avoid disruptions to your work and potential penalties for non-compliance with workplace safety regulations.
Renewals must be done via your state regulator. If renewed before expiry or within 12 months of the expiry date, no further training is needed.
If the licence has expired for more than 12 months, the whole training course and assessment must be completed, not just a refresher.
Is the training customised to my business needs?
Yes, our high-risk training is customisable. Programs are designed to align with your specific operational needs, industry standards, and equipment requirements. This ensures your team gains relevant, practical skills that can be immediately applied on the job. Contact us for more information about custom training.
Are refresher courses available for existing staff?
We offer refresher courses for businesses looking to update their team’s skills or ensure compliance with new regulations. Refresher training is an excellent way to keep experienced staff up-to-date on the latest safety practices and equipment advancements.
