High risk work licences WHS Regulation 85 Evidence of licence—duty of person conducting business or undertaking As a PCBU, you must not direct or allow a worker to carry out high risk work for which a high risk work licence is required unless you see written evidence provided by the worker that the worker has the relevant high risk work licence for that work. Certain types of work, for example operating industrial trucks and some cranes or scaffold and rigging work, require the worker to have a high risk work licence before they can operate the plant or undertake the work. Schedule 3 of the WHS Regulations sets out the classes of high risk work licences and the types of plant involved, and Schedule 4 sets out the competency requirements for a high risk work licence. Making changes If the person with management or control of the plant intends to alter the design of the plant, change the way the plant is used or change a system of work associated with the plant, the person should carry out the risk management process again. If the person with management or control of the intends to use the plant in a different way or for a purpose it was not designed for, the person must ensure the risks associated with the new use are assessed by a competent person. For example, if an item of plant designed to cut wood is to be used to cut metal, all hazards associated with that use should be identified and controls implemented. The competent person’s assessment should: include all aspects of the proposed task outline the reasons a purpose-designed item of plant cannot be used for the proposed task. For example, the impracticability of using it take into account the recommendations of the designer, manufacturer or supplier of the plant and ensure the proposed use is not outside its capabilities identify differences between the item of and one that is purpose-designed for the task, and describe the measures that will be used to control the risks the plant was designed to control, and amend relevant documentation. For example, operator and maintenance manuals and signage. If a competent person decides the plant is not suitable for the proposed task, it must not be used for that task.
