Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a High Risk Work Licence for a scissor lift or boom lift under 11m?

No. A High Risk Work Licence (WP class) is only required for boom-type elevating work platforms with a boom length of 11 metres or more. Scissor lifts of any height and boom lifts under 11 metres are covered by RIIHAN301E, the nationally recognised competency employers commonly refer to as Yellow Card® style training.

How long is the certification valid for?

Your RIIHAN301E 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.

Does this course cover both machine types?

Yes. This combined course covers operating both a scissor lift and a boom lift (under 11 metres) in one day of training, making it the most cost-effective option if your work involves both machines. If you only need one machine type, STES also runs separate scissor lift and boom lift courses.

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.
