What is high risk work training in WA?

TL;DR: High risk work training in WA prepares workers for licensed activities such as forklift operation, rigging, scaffolding and crane work under WorkSafe WA rules. KITA delivers nationally recognised training with industry-experienced trainers across Melbourne, Broadmeadows and Docklands campuses, offering site-ready, workplace-style and corporate compliance pathways. KITA high risk work training prepares Western Australian workers for licensed activities regulated by WorkSafe WA. Firstly, a High Risk Work Licence (HRWL) is required for tasks such as forklift operation, dogging, rigging, scaffolding, boom-type elevating work platforms and various crane classes. Secondly, each licence class has its own unit of competency that must be completed with a registered training organisation. Therefore, learners undertake structured theory and practical assessment before a WorkSafe assessor confirms competency. Because the licensing framework is national, certificates issued by KITA are recognised by WA employers and regulators. Similarly, refresher and gap training help experienced operators stay current with safety standards. Meanwhile, employers use Melbourne site-ready training to meet duty-of-care obligations under WHS legislation. Consequently, workers gain credentials that match real site requirements. Ultimately, the right HRWL class depends on the equipment and tasks involved.

Secondly, course duration varies by licence class and prior experience. Therefore, learners should confirm class codes with their employer before booking. Operators progress through theory, practical drills and final assessment. Similarly, Broadmeadows workplace-style sessions suit teams upskilling several staff at once. Meanwhile, Docklands corporate compliance clients schedule structured programs covering multiple HRWL classes. Because KITA industry-experienced trainers assess competency against national units, certificates support WA licensing applications. Consequently, your team stays compliant, safety-focused and job-ready.
