If you want to take on construction trade jobs in Australia and they are high risk work, then you need a high risk work license to do so. It is a license that is valid in all territories and states and means you can work in high risk plants, operate equipment that is high risk and work to consistent standards anywhere in Australia in the construction industry.

Sine 2013 training and assessing got all HRW license has been harmonized on a national level so all assessors and trainers around the country have certain requirements that have to be met. That includes certain specific equipment and that it is in a controlled environment. All trainees will have the opportunity as well to show hazard identification and what controls need to be appropriately implemented. Information on high risk work licenses can also be found on the construction industry forum. If you have a license dated before 2013 for hoists, cranes, pressure equipment, rigging, dogging, forklift operation or scaffolding you need to convert to the new photo license. You can still continue to work though unless your specific state regulates otherwise.

Holders will now have to renew the license every 5 years. Here is a look at the kind of work in construction trade jobs you will need to hold a license to be able to work in.

• Scaffolding work – Putting up, changing or taking down temporary structures erected to support platforms. There are 3 types, basic scaffolding, intermediate scaffolding, and advanced scaffolding.


• The operation of forklifts – Onboard operators must hold a HRW license when controlling forklift trucks that are used for lifting and moving materials whether powered by petrol, diesel or electricity. This covers both the forklift truck and the order-picking forklift truck.


• Working on rigging – Using mechanical equipment to move structure parts, equipment or other loads and that includes putting up and taking down hoists and cranes. There is basic rigging work, intermediate rigging work, and advanced rigging work.


• Operating hoists and cranes – There may also be state regulations to meet for this kind of work so they need to be met before you can work.


• Operating pressure equipment – Licenses are given to be able to operate standard boilers, advanced boilers, turbines, and reciprocating steam engines.
