Yes, you need a High Risk Work Licence (HRWL) to operate a scissor lift. To obtain a HRWL for scissor lift, you must complete a nationally recognized training course, pass a practical assessment and pass a medical examination. The training course will cover topics such as safety procedures, operation and maintenance of the equipment, and emergency procedures. Once you have completed the course and passed the assessment, you will be issued with a HRWL, which is commonly referred to as a "ticket" for the scissor lift. This licence is valid for five years and it can be renewed by passing an assessment and a medical examination again.
