CERTIFICATE OF EXEMPTION FOR HIGH RISK WORK LICENCE
Issued under section 686 of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 (ACT)

Applicant: Chief Officer Paul Swain on behalf of ACT Fire and Rescue

The ACT Fire and Rescue (ACTF&R) submission, seeking an exemption under provisions within the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 (ACT), from the mandated national training and assessment requirements for high risk work associated with operating a boom-type elevating work platform (boom length 11 metres or more) has been APPROVED.  
An independent evaluation conducted by CIT Solutions Pty Ltd, found the outcomes gained through successful completion of the ACTF&R PUA and refined ACTF&R Bronto Skylift assessment regime, exceed the outcomes required by the Vocational Educational Training licence to operate a boom-type elevating work platform (boom length 11m or more) (TLILIC2005A). 

Therefore, all ACTF&R personnel who have successfully completed the ACTF&R PUA and refined ACTF&R Bronto Skylift assessment regime are exempted from the requirement under section 81 and schedule 4 item 21(licence to operate a boom-type elevating work platform [boom length 11m or more]) of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 (ACT) when operating the Bronto Skylift as part of their normal duties.
