High Risk Work Licence - Vehicle Loading Crane (CV)

No. It is independent study material written for candidates preparing for the CV licence. It is not produced, endorsed or approved by SafeWork NSW or any registered training organisation. Use it as a knowledge check alongside your formal training, not as a substitute for the official assessment or for the regulator's own published information.

Those details are not stated here. The SafeWork NSW page for this licence class returned a 'Page not found' response when checked on 2 November 2026, so question count, duration and pass mark could not be confirmed. Check the current SafeWork NSW high risk work licence pages or ask your training provider before you book.

The pass mark is not published on this page. Because the official source could not be retrieved, no pass percentage, fee, licence validity period or retake policy is stated. Confirm the current requirements with SafeWork NSW or your registered training organisation, since assessment arrangements can change between revisions.

They follow a full work cycle: planning and preparing for operations; pre-operational checks, set-up and stabilising the crane; operating the crane to load, unload and move loads; and shutting down, securing and post-operational procedures. Each is weighted 25 percent here, but these weightings are provisional and not official, so treat them as a study guide only.

It tests applied judgement rather than memorisation, so questions often turn on load estimation, stability, exclusion zones and communication. Candidates who have real seat time and understand why procedures exist generally find it manageable. Those who have only read theory often struggle with scenario-style questions about set-up, ground conditions and unsafe loads.

Work through them in sequence. Planning first, because it sets the hazard controls; then checks, set-up and stabilising, since most serious incidents trace back to poor ground or setup; then operating; then shutdown and securing. Finishing with shutdown reinforces the habit of leaving the crane and vehicle in a safe, secured state.

Typical weaknesses include underestimating load weight and slinging arrangements, ignoring ground bearing and outrigger or stabiliser setup, working too close to powerlines or people, poor communication with doggers and drivers, and skipping shutdown steps such as securing the boom and isolating controls. Practise explaining the reasoning behind each step, not just the step itself.

The retake policy is not stated here because the official source could not be retrieved. Ask your registered training organisation about reassessment arrangements and any waiting period before you enrol. Build in extra practice time on the domains you find weakest so a retake, if needed, is a formality rather than a repeat of the same gaps.

Attempt it without notes first to find your gaps, then study the explanations for every question you missed or guessed. Revisit the domain you scored lowest on before retrying. Pair this with hands-on practice under supervision and with your provider's learner resources, and verify all administrative details with SafeWork NSW.
