Saferight is excited to announce that our **C1 Slewing Mobile Crane Training Course** is starting soon in Perth, WA. This nationally recognised training delivers the skills and knowledge required to operate a slewing mobile crane with a maximum rated capacity (MRC) of up to 100 tonnes. If you are looking to secure your **C1 crane licence in Perth**, now is the time to register.
What is a C1 Crane Licence?
A **C1 crane licence** is a High Risk Work Licence (HRWL) that allows you to legally operate a slewing mobile crane with a maximum rated capacity of up to 100 tonnes. This licence sits between the C6 (slewing mobile crane up to 60 tonnes) and the C0 (over 100 tonnes) classes. Holding a C1 licence is essential for crane operators working on major construction, mining, and infrastructure projects across Australia.
Do Excavator Operators Need a Crane Licence?
Under Work Health and Safety Regulations, if an excavator is used as a crane with a lifting capacity greater than 3 tonnes, the operator is required to hold a High Risk Work Licence. This means you must have either a C1 crane ticket (up to 100 tonnes) or a C2 crane ticket (up to 20 tonnes), depending on the load being lifted.
By introducing the **C1 Crane Training Course in Perth**, Saferight ensures that workers who use excavators for lifting operations — particularly in construction, civil works, and mining — can meet compliance requirements and operate safely within the law.
