There are three types of crane operator tickets available with the KI Group in Perth. These courses are all uniquely different, but with the same common goal: to provide students with the opportunity to learn and qualify in this high-risk program. Crane operating is no easy task – with heavy loads and plenty of health and safety risks associated with it. So it’s imperative that those wanting a career in an industry with crane use, have the correct qualifications and certifications to do so.
The KI Group operates in Perth and the Belmont area in Western Australia. We are proud to offer short training courses and high-risk certifications for workers in the construction and mining industries. This blog will be all about what you need to know about crane operator tickets in Perth.
Why Do You Need a Crane Operating License?
You would need a high-risk license to operate a crane in Australia. If a business or worker is using a crane without a license, there will be fines associated with it. The cost of the fine depends on the state you’re operating in, but one thing is very clear: if you want to perform tasks with the health and safety of others in mind, ensure that you are up to date in every certification you might need to do your job.
What Types of Crane Operator Tickets Are There?
