Details

What is a Yellow Card?

In NSW and all other states, there is no High Risk Work Licence (HRWL) requirement to operate Boom Lifts under 11m, Scissor Lifts, Vertical or Man Lifts, Trailer or Truck Mounted types of Elevating Work Platforms (EWPs), however, a Yellow Card provides evidence that structured training and assessment of an operators’ competency has been provided on the particular type of EWP they were trained on.

This is one way to meet duty of care obligations under the WHS Act and Regulation (2011), which state a PCBU must provide information, training, instruction or supervision that is necessary to protect all persons from risks to their health and safety arising from work carried out as part of the conduct of the business or undertaking.

 

How long is the course?

This course runs for approximately 6 hours, just depending on how many people are in the course, whether they have any experience operating EWPs, and how many types of EWPs are being used during the training session.


Who should do this course?

This Yellow Card course is designed for people who operate Boom or Cherry Picker Type Lifts under 11m, Scissor Lifts, Vertical Lifts or Manlifts, Trailer and Truck Mounted type elevating work platforms. This course is not suited for persons requiring Yellow Card Traffic Controller training. EWP’s are used in many industries for many type of jobs.

 

Where can I do the training?

Cobra Training & Licensing Services has a fully equipped training venue with a Boom Lift under 11m, Scissor Lift and Vertical Lift, so you can get a yellow card for all three types of EWP or just the one class if that is all you need. The price is the same whether you do 1 type of EWP or all 3. We run regular weekday, evening and weekend courses at our Wetherill Park site.

We can also deliver this training AT YOUR SITE if you have your own EWP and a group of at least 4 people for training. We do not charge a call out fee for locations with Sydney Metro area.

We are flexible to deliver a course at any time, inside or outside normal business hours.

Outline

What is included in the course?

This course includes theory (classroom stuff) and of course you will also get practical experience operating the EWP equipment as well. During training we teach you:

  • how to use EWPs safely
  • what the risks and dangers are of operating EWPs
  • how to do pre start inspections and why they are important
  • how to properly fit and wear safety harnesses
  • what to do in an emergency situation and where to get more info if needed

 

What do I get when I finish the course?

When you have successfully finished the course, you will receive a photo style Yellow Card issued by the EWPA (Elevating Work Platform Association). The photo card is valid for 5 years from the date of issue and you will need to renew it before the expiry date.

 

What happens if I do not pass the course?

You must be able to speak and understand English to be able to attend this course. In the rare event you do not pass the first time, you are more than welcome to join our next available scheduled course in Wetherill Park to try again at no further charge.

 

When will I get my Yellow Card?

Once you have successfully finished your training, and you have paid your training fee in full, all relevant details will be sent to the EWPA and they will process, print and post your Yellow Card directly to you. Allow up to 4 weeks to receive your card. Cobra Training & Licensing Services can issue you with a temporary certificate when you complete your course so you can get onto site and start operating Yellow Card EWP equipment straight away.

 

Can I operate an Over 11m Boom Lift with a Yellow Card?

NO. Boom lifts which extend over 11m require a High Risk Work Licence to operate them. Please see our info on OVER 11M BOOM LIFTS

What other courses are recommended?
