Frequently Asked Questions

How long is an EWP licence valid for?

A boom-type elevating work platform (WP class) High Risk Work Licence is valid for 5 years from the date of issue. You will need to renew your licence with WorkSafe WA before it expires to continue operating.

Do I need a High Risk Work Licence for all EWPs?

No. The WP class High Risk Work Licence is only required for boom-type elevating work platforms where the boom length is 11 metres or more. Scissor lifts and boom lifts under 11 metres do not require a HRWL, although employers commonly require operator training (such as a Yellow Card) for those machines.

Are there any requirements to get an EWP licence?

You must be at least 18 years old to be issued a High Risk Work Licence in Western Australia, and you will need to provide evidence of identity as part of your WorkSafe application. No prior EWP experience is required to enrol in the course.

What do I need to bring on the day?

You should bring a valid photo ID (driver's licence or passport), appropriate clothing including long pants and closed-toe footwear, and any prescription glasses or medication you require. All safety equipment including harnesses is provided by STES. Lunch and refreshments are not provided so we recommend bringing your own.
