🟧🚨 Do EWP tickets expire in WA? (Under 11m vs over 11m) 🚨🟧

This is one of the most common questions we get: “Does my EWP ticket expire?”
In WA, the answer depends on whether you’re talking about:
✅ Under 11m (training/competency) or
✅ Over 11m boom (High Risk Work Licence) ⛑️

We’ve explained it clearly, including what sites may still require (like VOCs and proof of currency). 📋🦺

The construction industry faces major challenges around psychosocial hazards. These challenges can lead to significant health and safety issues on job sites.

Week 2 of Safe Work Month highlights critical factors such as bullying, fatigue, and feeling unsupported that adversely affect workers' mental and physical well-being. By addressing these psychosocial hazards, we can improve overall safety outcomes and create a healthier work environment for everyone.

We encourage you to take advantage of WorkSafe’s valuable resources designed to help strengthen your site practices. Together, we can foster a culture of safety and support in the construction industry! 🛠️💪
