Face to face delivery. Current Work Health and Safety (QLD) legislation requires operators of (HRW) High Risk Work licence to complete formal theory and practical training. Once formal training is completed, informal training (logged experience operating the machine), including 40 nominal hours is then required under direct supervision. After these hours have been completed and verified by your supervisor/trainer, Star Training & Assessing must be notified to arrange the final written and practical assessment.
Work Health and Safety (QLD) require three working days’ notice of all assessments.
Upon successful completion of the practical assessment, you will need to submit an application to Work Health & Safety in person at an Australia Post outlet, within 60 days of successfully completing the practical assessment. You will need to retain the AS1 and receipt from Australia Post as evidence that you can lawfully perform work in the WP (Elevated Work Platform) class of high risk, until your photographic HRW Licence arrives in the post.
On-site at your workplace, or alternatively a suitable training venue can be organised.
