Under new nationally harmonised work health and safety (WHS) laws, earthmoving and some crane classes are not required to be (WHS) licensed from 1 January 2012.

Plant which this will effect will be:

• backhoe
• front end loader
• excavator
• skid steer loader
• road roller
• grader
• scraper
• dozer
• bridge and gantry remote control crane.

From January 2012 it is the duty of a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) to ensure competency of the operator when plant is operated, so far as is reasonably practicable.

How can I demonstrate competency?
Evidence of appropriate training and instruction for the type of plant to be operated could include:

• a statement of attainment or other nationally recognised qualification
• training completed at an industry training school
• on-the-job training conducted by an experienced competent person

Workplace Health and Safety Queensland (WHSQ) encourages formal competency-based training and assessment by a Registered Training  Organisation (like Major Training) for the operation of this equipment.

Completing training with an RTO for yourself or your employees give you the peace of mind that you are trained, assessed and issued a competency ticket from a National Training package.  This is the best and highest standard you can achieve.

The following changes effect High Risk Work Licences:

•    The Slewing Mobile Crane Licence C2 or C6 will no longer encompass a Non Slewing Mobile Crane Licence (CN) or Vehicle Mounted Crane Licence (CV)
•    The Slewing Mobile Crane Licence C6 will still encompass a Slewing Mobile Crane Licence C2.
•    The Remote Gantry Crane LBG will no longer  encompass Dogging tasks without holding the Dogger licence DG

For the licence holder, this means:

Those operators who hold a slewing mobile crane CO, C1, C6 or C2 licence and have never held a CV and/or CN class of licence will be required to obtain a CV and/or CN by the end of 2012 if they wish to operate the relevant class.

LBG Operators who do not hold a Dogman licence (DG) will be required to obtain either a DG licence or a bridge and gantry crane licence (CB).

A holder of a previously issued LBG certificate can continue to sling their own load outside the limited circumstances until 31 December 2012.

Transitional Provisions
Licence Applicants need to be reminded upon submitting application, that Transitional Provisions have been put in place to continue the current provisions for C6 or C2 Licences, encompassing a CN licence.   The provisions also accommodate continuance of  Dogging tasks being carried out by licenced operators of Remote Gantry Cranes LBG,  provided the driver is operating the crane remotely and has full view of the load. These provisions will cease to exist from 1st January 2013.
