Question 1

Under Australian WHS legislation, what is the primary 'duty of care' obligation of a High Risk Work Licence EWP operator?

To guarantee that the machine operates at maximum speed to meet daily site production quotas. To ensure the manufacturer's maintenance logbook is kept locked in the main office archive. To take reasonable care for their own safety and ensure their actions do not adversely affect the safety of others. To personally repair any structural cracks found on the boom before starting operations.

Correct Answer:

To take reasonable care for their own safety and ensure their actions do not adversely affect the safety of others.

Question 2

At what minimum boom length is a boom-type Elevating Work Platform (EWP) classified as high-risk work, requiring a WP class High Risk Work Licence in Australia?

11 metres or more 10 metres or more 15 metres or more 8 metres or more

Correct Answer:

11 metres or more

Question 3

What is the legal difference between a 'hazard' and a 'risk' in an EWP work environment?

A hazard is a physical object on the ground, while a risk is an overhead electrical line. A hazard is anything with the potential to cause harm, while a risk is the likelihood and severity of that harm occurring. A hazard is always controlled by WHS inspectors, while a risk is the sole responsibility of the site manager. There is no legal difference; both terms are used interchangeably in Australian WHS codes of practice.

Correct Answer:

A hazard is anything with the potential to cause harm, while a risk is the likelihood and severity of that harm occurring.

Question 4

When is a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) legally required for operating a boom-type EWP on an Australian worksite?

For all EWP operations, regardless of the industry, height, or proximity to site hazards. Only when the EWP is being operated in wet weather conditions. When the operation is classified as high-risk construction work, such as working near overhead power lines or on heights. Only when the EWP is hired from an external supplier and not owned by the contractor.

Correct Answer:

When the operation is classified as high-risk construction work, such as working near overhead power lines or on heights.

Question 5

If you discover that the manufacturer's operating manual is missing from the EWP, what action must you take?

Search online and verbally summarize the safety specifications for your ground support crew. Operate the EWP anyway, provided you have operated the same model on previous worksites. Use a digital copy on your personal smartphone while driving the platform with one hand. Do not operate the EWP, tag it out of service, and report the missing manual to your supervisor.

Correct Answer:

Do not operate the EWP, tag it out of service, and report the missing manual to your supervisor.
