RIIHAN301D OPERATE ELEVATING WORK PLATFORM (UNDER 11 METRES)
RIIHAN301E Operate elevating work platform (under 11 metres)
Elevated Work Platform operation is classified as high risk work and therefore legislation requires workers to be assessed for competency. This course is delivered by experienced trainers/assessor and awards participants with a Statement of Attainment and a Wallet sized competency card on successful completion.
Training and assessment delivered in Partnership with Achieve Training & Assessment Services RTO 90659
This course is designed for operators who will be working under the height of 11 metres or operating Scissor Lifts where a SafeWork NSW Certificate of Competency is not required.
Note that for EWP under 11 Metres we offer the RIIHAN301E (for which a Statement of Attainment is issued) OR the EWPA Yellow card course. They are two different courses and this will need to be identified when booking.
- EWPA Yellow Card is NOT a Nationally Recognised Unit of Competency but a Nationally Recognised course. Students will only receive the EWPA Yellow card with the specific machines they have completed on their cards e.g. SL; BL; TL.
- RIIHAN301E Operate Elevating Work Platform (under 11 metres) IS a Nationally Recognised Unit of Competency course. Students will receive a Statement of Attainment with the Unit of Competency only (not machine specific on their Certificate) from the authorising RTO.
A Yellow Card allows the operation of the following machines:

Additional information relating to the high risk work licencing requirements for operation of telehanders:
A high risk work licence in the class of CN (non-slewing crane) is required for the operation of a non-slewing telehandler with a lifting capacity rating exceeding 3 tonnes when it is fitted with a boom or jib and hook block.
Where the telehandler is fitted with attachments such as a bucket or forks the PCBU has a duty of care in terms of ensuring workers have appropriate training in the operation of the plant, however a CN licence is not required.
Where the plant is fitted with a personnel box that can be extended 11m or more the operator requires an Elevated Work Platform (EWP) high risk work licence.
If you have any questions regarding high risk work licence requirements please do not hesitate to contact the SafeWork NSW Information Centre on 13 10 50.
