EWP Training in Melbourne

When it comes to boom lifts or scissor lifts, it’s imperative that people undergo the required training to ensure they can operate the machinery with a required level of competency. Most people will need to undergo Elevated Work Platform (EWP) training and accreditation before they’re tasked with operating a boom or scissor lift. If you’re looking for comprehensive EWP training in Melbourne, Sydney or Somersby NSW that will get your staff to the required operational standard sooner rather than later, speak to the qualified and accredited trainers at Quick Access Rental & Training.

Why EWP Training is Essential

Why do I need a Yellow Card to operate an Elevating Work Platform?

Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) Regulations (referred to as Occupational Health and Safety or OSH/OHS in VIC) state that employers or businesses have a legal obligation under work health and safety laws to provide their staff, visitors and contractors with a safe workplace.

As a part of their duty of care these employers or businesses must

  • Provide and maintain a safe work environment
  • Provide and maintain safe plant and structures
  • Provide and maintain safe systems of work
  • Provide instruction, training, information and supervision
  • Monitor the health of workers and conditions at the workplace

Regulations require that operators of plant equipment must undergo activity-based instruction and training. Verbal instruction is not deemed to be an effective method of training as it lacks written proof of competency evidence.

What is the “Yellow Card”?

The EWPA Operator Training Program or “Yellow Card” was created as the result of the EWPA working with industry, helping them to comply with the WHS/OHS/OSH Acts and regulation. This Yellow Card program was designed to ensure that the Yellow Card holder is trained in the safe use and operation of various types of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs or commonly referred to as EWPs).

The EWPA Yellow Card provides ‘evidence’ of this training. The overall intention of the Yellow Card Program is to assist operators, employers, equipment owners and manufacturers to more easily be able to comply with the WHS/OHS/OSH Regulation.

Work health and safety regulations are in place to protect people in the workplace. The EWPA “Yellow Card” is an industry training program helping to provide a safer workplace for all.

How does it work?

The Yellow Card provides proof of completion of training on one or more ‘types’ of MEWPs.

There are a number of training modules covering the various types of MEWPs to be operated –

  • Vertical Lift (VL)
  • Scissor Lift (SL)
  • Self Propelled Boom Lift (BL)

IN SUMMARY

OHS and WHS Acts and Regulations are in place to protect all workers, visitors and contractors at any workplace. The EWPA Operator Licence (Yellow Card) is an industry initiative helping to provide a safer working environment for all stakeholders. It is formally structured, continuously reviewed and a widely recognised program that meets the legislated requirements to operate MEWPs in Australia.
