TRANSFER COAL COMPETENCIES TO NATIONAL CIVIL WH&S LICENCES
Workplace Health & Safety Queensland has agreed to recognise Mining Coal Competencies to be credited towards National Civil WH&S Licence’s such as fork trucks, EWP, rigging, scaffolding, cranes, dozers, graders, rollers and excavators etc.
Don’t pay between $1,000-$2,000 (and weeks of training) per National Civil WH&S Licence. If you are a current holder of a Mining Coal Competency/Authority you may be eligible to simply paper credit it directly over to a New National Civil WH&S Licence.
Transfers are from $249 for the first licence per licence and $124.50 for each subsequent transfer on the same application (plus applicable WH&S application fee).
Just download and complete the application package here on our web site, gather the necessary supporting evidence and documentation, and mail it to OHSA. Once we review your application we will advise you if anything further is required.
All those competencies you thought were useless may now save you thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours in further training!
Call us on 1300 6472 00 if you wish any further detail or info@ohsa.com.au
