What does the Personnel and Materials Hoist course cover?
The Personnel and Materials Hoist course (CPCCLHS3001) covers the safe operation of hoists used to vertically transport people and materials on construction sites. You’ll learn how to conduct pre-operational checks, communicate effectively with other workers, operate the hoist safely, and respond to hazards and emergencies. Training includes both theory and hands-on practical components, and all study materials are provided on the day.
Who actually needs a Class HP High Risk Work Licence?
By law, anyone who operates a builder’s hoist designed to lift materials, goods, or personnel must hold this specific High Risk Work Licence. This is a mandatory requirement across Australia for operating equipment like cantilever hoists, tower hoists, or multiple-winch configurations on construction, mining, and industrial sites. If you’re working on site where a hoist is in use and you’re the one operating it – not just riding in it – you need this licence.
Is there a fee to apply for my High Risk Work Licence after the course?
Yes – after successfully completing the course, you apply directly to Workplace Health and Safety Queensland (WHSQ) for your HRWL. There is an additional government fee payable to WHSQ for the licence application. You must apply within 60 days of completing your assessment with Ascent Training Solutions.
