What Platform Height requires a licenced scaffolder?

A general rule of thumb is if a Platform Height is more than 4m above ground level, then a scaffolding licence will be required.

The good news is this scaffolding Platform Height can be set under this 4m limit.

E.g. The 6m Reachability's Platform height can be set to: 0.34m to ~2.2m, 3.5 to ~3.95m. All under the 4m limit.

It is important to note that the licensing requirements for scaffolding work may vary depending on the type of scaffolding, Work Health And Safety, and/or depending on the complexity of the work.

It is always best to check specifics and/or latest info by googling "Scaffolding WorkCover (NSW / QLD / VIC / SA / WA)."
