This course will teach you the skills required to operate a boom type elevated work platform with a boom height under than 11 metres. This training will teach you how to conduct hazard identification and risk assessments, pre starts, operate, set up, position and work safely from an elevated work platform, emergency procedures and shutting down/securing the machine.

The training will be conducted on site after a site Inspection has been performed by a Mentor HR representative. Our course will provide participants with skills and knowledge to operate elevating work platforms that are transferable to any EWP under 11m. The specific plant used in our training courses are boom lift (BL) and scissor lift (SL). All Australian work sites have an obligation to induct new workers on the plant they are required to use. However, we do recommend that workers check with their employer(s) as to the applicability of any training related to on-site plant and equipment, as well as any site-specific training requirements.

Competent students will receive a card detailing the unit of competency and the class of machines they were trained and assessed in (at this time, boom [BL] and scissor [SL]). Students will be issued with an EWPA yellow card on successful completion of this course.
