All bookings are made online through the website. Open the VOC course page for your machine or licence class, choose an available date and enrol directly on the page.

How long does a VOC assessment take?

Most Saferight VOC assessments are completed in a single session. You complete a knowledge (theory) assessment followed by a practical assessment on the machine, and your VOC certificate is issued once your assessment is marked.

How long is a VOC valid for?

There is no legislated expiry for a Verification of Competency, but most WA mine sites, principal contractors and employers expect a VOC issued within the last two years. Always check your site’s specific requirements.

What is the difference between a VOC and a licence?

A licence or ticket (such as a High Risk Work Licence) is your formal authorisation to perform the work. A Verification of Competency doesn’t replace it — it is an assessment that confirms you have maintained the skills and knowledge behind the licence you already hold. Employers and sites use a current VOC as evidence that you are still competent to operate.

Frequently Asked Questions

A licence or ticket (such as a High Risk Work Licence) is your formal authorisation to perform the work. A Verification of Competency doesn’t replace it — it is an assessment that confirms you have maintained the skills and knowledge behind the licence you already hold. Employers and sites use a current VOC as evidence that you are still competent to operate.
Individuals holding a student visa are not eligible to enrol in, participate in, or attend any of our courses, whether face-to-face or online. Because Saferight is not registered with CRICOS (Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students). Student visa holders are encouraged to seek training with a CRICOS-registered institution to meet their requirements.

Verification of Competency (VOC) is an assessment process used to ensure that a worker can perform their job safely and competently. It is not about teaching new skills, but rather confirming that the person has the knowledge, experience, and ability to carry out specific tasks in line with workplace health and safety standards. VOCs are commonly required in high-risk industries such as construction, mining, oil and gas, and warehousing where operating heavy machinery, working at heights, or managing hazardous environments is part of the job.

Why is a VOC Important?

Employers have a legal responsibility under Work Health and Safety (WHS) laws to ensure their workers are competent. A VOC assessment provides documented proof of a worker’s ability to perform tasks safely. This reduces the risk of accidents, ensures compliance with regulations, and helps maintain a safe workplace.

Who Needs a VOC?

A VOC may be required if:

A worker is starting with a new employer.

A company needs to verify existing skills before allocating high-risk tasks.

Licensing bodies or site requirements mandate proof of competency.

A worker is returning to the industry after a break and needs to demonstrate current ability.

What Does a VOC Involve?

A Verification of Competency is usually conducted by a qualified assessor. The process includes a combination of:

Knowledge assessment – written or verbal questions to confirm theoretical understanding.

Practical demonstration – hands-on tasks to show safe and correct operation of equipment.

Documented results – a formal report or statement of attainment provided to both the worker and the employer.

Which Roles and Equipment Require VOC?

VOC assessments are commonly applied to high-risk work licences and machinery such as:

Forklifts

Elevated Work Platforms (EWP)

Cranes and dogging/rigging roles

Earthmoving equipment such as excavators, loaders, and dozers

Confined space entry and rescue

Working at heights

How Long Does a VOC Last?

There is no nationally set expiry date for a VOC. However, many companies and sites have their own policies, often requiring workers to complete a VOC every 2–3 years, or whenever they start a new job. Employers should ensure VOCs remain up-to-date to meet site and safety requirements.

Benefits of Completing a VOC

Demonstrates compliance with WHS laws.

Reduces risk of accidents and downtime.

Provides employers with confidence in worker competence.

Enhances employability for workers in high-risk industries.

Where Can You Complete a VOC?

VOC assessments must be carried out by an accredited training organisation with qualified assessors. For workers and employers in Perth and across Western Australia, Saferight provides VOC assessments for a wide range of licences and equipment, ensuring compliance and workplace safety standards are met.

A Verification of Competency is an essential process for maintaining safe and compliant workplaces. It ensures that workers not only hold the right licence or qualification but also demonstrate current, practical ability. Whether you’re an employer needing to verify your team’s skills or a worker wanting to improve your employability, a VOC is the recognised way to prove competency.

Understanding the differences between slewing and non-slewing mobile cranes is essential for choosing the right course and equipment for your needs. At Saferight, we offer a range of mobile crane courses designed to equip you with the necessary skills and knowledge to operate these cranes safely and effectively. In this blog, we will explore the differences between slewing and non-slewing cranes, provide an overview of our mobile crane courses, and guide you on how to enrol.
Introduction to Mobile Crane Courses
Mobile crane courses are essential for anyone looking to work in industries that require heavy lifting and material handling. Mobile cranes are versatile pieces of equipment used in various industries for lifting and moving heavy loads. They are broadly classified into slewing and non-slewing cranes based on their boom rotation capabilities. Saferight offers comprehensive training for both types, ensuring you are well-prepared to operate these cranes in real-world scenarios.
Understanding Non-Slewing Cranes
What is a Non-Slewing Crane?
A non-slewing crane, also known as a non-rotating or fixed-base crane, is characterised by its inability to rotate the boom around a central axis. Unlike slewing cranes, non-slewing cranes have a fixed boom that can only move up and down, making them simpler and often more cost-effective for specific lifting tasks.
Key Features of Non-Slewing Cranes
Fixed Boom
The boom in non-slewing cranes is fixed in one direction and can only be raised or lowered. This limited range of motion makes them ideal for applications where lifting needs are straightforward and within a confined area.
Stability
Non-slewing cranes are typically more stable than slewing cranes because their design reduces the risk of tipping over. The fixed boom and limited movement contribute to their stability, making them suitable for use on uneven or rough terrain.
Compact Design
These cranes are often more compact and easier to transport compared to their slewing counterparts. Their simpler design means fewer components, which can translate to lower maintenance costs and easier operation.
Applications
Non-slewing cranes are commonly used in industries such as construction, agriculture, and logistics. They are ideal for tasks like loading and unloading materials, lifting heavy objects within a restricted area, and other jobs that don’t require the boom to rotate.
Cost-Effectiveness
Due to their simpler mechanism and limited range of motion, non-slewing cranes are often less expensive to purchase and maintain. This makes them a cost-effective choice for businesses that need reliable lifting solutions without the added complexity of a slewing crane.
What Are Non-Slewing Cranes Used For?
Material Handling
Non-slewing mobile cranes are frequently used for loading and unloading materials. Their ability to pick up loads and carry them to a different location makes them invaluable in warehouses, distribution centres, and construction sites.
Assembly and Installation
These cranes are often employed in assembly and installation tasks. For example, they can lift and position heavy machinery, structural components, or large equipment parts with precision.
Maintenance and Repair
In industrial settings, non-slewing mobile cranes assist in maintenance and repair activities. They can lift and transport parts that need servicing, reducing downtime and improving efficiency.
Transporting Loads
Their primary function as pick-and-carry cranes means they are used to move loads from one part of a job site to another. This is especially useful in scenarios where other means of transport are impractical.
Non-Slewing Crane Courses
CN Non-Slewing Mobile Crane
Course Overview
The CN Non-Slewing Mobile Crane course covers the operation of non-slewing cranes in various work environments. This course is ideal for those who need to operate cranes for material handling and other lifting tasks in construction and industrial settings.

Perform routine checks and maintenance
Understanding Slewing Cranes
What is a Slewing Crane?
Slewing cranes, also known as rotating cranes, can rotate the boom around a central axis, allowing for a full 360-degree movement. This capability provides greater flexibility and reach compared to non-slewing cranes.
Key Features of Slewing Cranes
Rotating Boom
The defining feature of a slewing crane is its rotating boom. This boom can turn around a central axis, allowing the operator to lift and place loads anywhere within the crane’s radius without needing to reposition the entire crane.
Versatility
Slewing cranes are highly versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications, including construction, shipping, and heavy industry. Their ability to rotate makes them ideal for tasks that require precise positioning of materials over a large area.
Extended Reach
The rotating boom of a slewing crane can extend horizontally and vertically, providing a wide range of motion. This makes slewing cranes suitable for complex lifting operations where obstacles need to be navigated.
Complexity and Control
Due to their advanced rotating mechanism, slewing cranes are more complex and require sophisticated control systems. Operators need to be well-trained to handle the crane’s movements safely and effectively.
Applications
Slewing cranes are commonly used on construction sites, in shipyards, and for infrastructure projects. They are essential for tasks that involve lifting heavy materials to high elevations or moving them horizontally across a job site.
Cost and Maintenance
While slewing cranes offer greater flexibility and reach, they are typically more expensive to purchase and maintain compared to non-slewing cranes. Their complexity and additional moving parts require regular maintenance and skilled operation.
What Are Slewing Mobile Cranes Used For?
Construction Industry
High-Rise Building Construction
Slewing mobile cranes are extensively used in constructing skyscrapers and other tall structures. Their ability to manoeuvre heavy materials to significant heights is invaluable.
Bridge Construction
These cranes are essential for lifting and positioning large bridge segments, facilitating the construction of both small and large-scale bridges.
Residential and Commercial Projects
From small residential buildings to large commercial complexes, slewing mobile cranes are indispensable for various lifting tasks, such as placing steel beams, concrete panels, and prefabricated components.
Industrial Applications
Manufacturing Plants
In manufacturing settings, slewing mobile cranes are used to lift and move heavy machinery and equipment, ensuring efficient production processes.
Power Plants
These cranes are vital for installing and maintaining heavy components like turbines, generators, and other machinery in power plants, including nuclear, thermal, and hydroelectric facilities.
