Frequently Asked Questions

How long is an overhead crane ticket valid for?

Your RIIHAN305D Statement of Attainment does not have a legislated expiry date, however most employers and mine sites in Western Australia require refresher training every 2–3 years to ensure your skills and knowledge remain current. Always check your employer's specific site requirements before commencing work.

Do I need a High Risk Work Licence to operate an overhead crane?

In most cases, no. Gantry and overhead cranes that are remote or pendant controlled do not require a High Risk Work Licence, RIIHAN305D is the nationally recognised competency employers require. Cab-controlled bridge and gantry cranes require a CB class High Risk Work Licence.

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. Lunch and refreshments are not provided so we recommend bringing your own.
