Do I need a licence to operate a scissor lift, vertical lift?
Although you do not need a Worksafe “Licence to Perform High Risk Work”, as part of an employers “Duty of Care”, the operator will need to complete training on any equipment that they use. The EWPA Yellow card allows the student to operate Scissor Lifts and Vertical Lifts to any height and Boom Lifts and Trailer Mounted Boom Lifts to an 11m platform height. If there is an accident on this type of equipment Worksafe will ask for proof of training during the investigation, the EWPA Yellow Card, with the correct categories, is proof of training.
