EWP Ticket Brisbane

Your EWP ticket Brisbane for boom-type elevated work platforms over 11 metres is a legal requirement before you operate any telescopic or knuckle boom lift on a Queensland worksite. Principal contractors across Brisbane enforce it - no ticket, no access to the machine.

Shamrock Training runs EWP ticket Brisbane courses every week from our Northgate training centre. Our trainers have worked at height on real sites - so the practical side reflects what the job actually looks like. Same day statement of attainment, every time.

  • Civil construction workers using boom-type access equipment over 11 metres

FAQs - EWP Ticket Brisbane

  • What are the risks of operating a scissor lift?
    Key risks include tip-overs on uneven or sloped ground, falls from height, collision with overhead structures, and entrapment between the platform and fixed objects. These hazards are covered in detail in the EWPA Yellow Card course (RIIHAN301E) delivered by Shamrock Training in Northgate, Brisbane.

  • What certification do you need to operate a boom lift?
    Boom-type EWPs over 11 metres require a WP High Risk Work Licence (TLILIC0005) issued by Workplace Health and Safety Queensland. Shamrock Training in Northgate, Brisbane delivers this licence with weekly course intakes.

  • What is the difference between boom type and scissor type?
    Boom-type EWPs extend outward and upward on an articulating or telescopic arm, allowing reach over obstacles, while scissor lifts move straight up and down with a larger platform but no horizontal reach. Shamrock Training in Northgate, Brisbane trains operators on both, covering the WP licence for booms over 11 metres and the Yellow Card for scissor lifts under 11 metres.

  • What certification is required to use a scissor lift?
    You need the EWPA Yellow Card (RIIHAN301E), the industry-standard competency certification for scissor lifts and EWPs under 11 metres. Shamrock Training in Northgate, Brisbane delivers this course in a single day with same-day certification.

  • Is a scissor lift considered a boom lift
    No, a scissor lift and a boom lift are different EWP types, with scissor lifts moving vertically only and boom lifts offering horizontal reach via an articulating or telescopic arm. Shamrock Training in Northgate, Brisbane trains operators on both equipment types under separate certifications.

  • Is a scissor lift considered an EWP?
    Yes, a scissor lift is classified as an Elevated Work Platform (EWP), specifically in the under-11 metre category. Shamrock Training in Northgate, Brisbane delivers the Yellow Card (RIIHAN301E) required to operate scissor lifts on Queensland worksites.
