SafeWork SA is urging workers to convert any Certificates of Competency or old style tickets issued between January 2005 and September 2010 to the national high risk work licence before the deadline of 1 September 2015.
This is the final year of the five year transition period for workers to convert their qualifications to the Licence to Per-form High Risk Work.
It is a legal requirement to hold a valid licence if you operate a forklift, crane, hoist or pressure equipment, as well as if you perform scaffolding, rigging and dogging work. Failure to convert to the national licence means you are not able to legally operate high risk plant.
To convert your existing licence the call the High Risk Work Conversion Line on 1300 975 909 and have your original certificates, tickets or Notice of Satisfactory Assessment available. For a single fee, multiple high risk work qualifica-tions can be converted and listed on one new licence.
