About the High Risk Work Licence — Bridge and Gantry Crane (CB) Exam
The CB High Risk Work Licence authorises operation of bridge and gantry cranes that are controlled from a permanent cabin or control station on the crane, or remotely controlled with more than three powered operations (hoist raise/lower counts as one operation), including load estimation and slinging techniques to move a load. Assessment is based on TLILIC0016 Licence to operate a bridge and gantry crane. Content covers WHS planning and hazards, bridge vs gantry definitions, powered-operation counting, pre-operational checks and limit switches, long/cross travel and hoist control, load weight/CG estimation, sling selection and SWL calculations, AS 2550.1-aligned signals, dogger interface when loads are out of view, emergency stop, and shutdown/securing with out-of-service tagging.
Assessment
Closed-book National Assessment Instrument (NAI) theory and calculation assessment administered by an accredited assessor at an RTO, plus a practical bridge/gantry crane operation assessment. Unit elements cover plan work/task, prepare, perform, and pack up. Many RTOs require a Dogging (DG) licence and/or logged operating hours before practical assessment.
Time Limit
Closed-book NAI theory and calculation papers plus practical assessment (session timing set by the accredited assessor; courses commonly run 3–5 days face-to-face)
Passing Score
Competent — calculations and practical require 100% accuracy; critical safety theory items must be answered correctly
Exam Fee
RTO courses commonly advertise about $1,400–$2,000+ AUD for CB training and assessment (examples: ~$1,400 Integral Skills NSW; ~$1,795 Training Combined NSW + ~$90 licence fee; ~$2,000 Saferight WA; fees vary by location and funding), plus a separate state/territory HRWL application fee typically around $75–$160 AUD (State and Territory Work Health and Safety (WHS) regulators (e.g., SafeWork NSW, WorkSafe Victoria, WorkSafe Queensland, WorkSafe WA, SafeWork SA) using the national unit TLILIC0016)

Prepare Crane & Site
Pre-operational checks, hooks/ropes/brakes, limit switches, runway/rails, communications setup, PPE, and fault tagging before use.
Operate, Sling & Calculate
Hoist/traverse/travel control, load estimation (density × volume), CG, sling angles and SWL factors, test lifts, AS 2550.1 signals, and out-of-view dogger direction.
Shutdown & Pack Up
Safe parking, hook stowage, isolation, post-operational checks, out-of-service tags, and logbook/defect reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What unit of competency applies to the CB bridge and gantry crane licence?
The current national unit is TLILIC0016 Licence to operate a bridge and gantry crane. Competence in the unit supports the High Risk Work Licence pathway; the HRWL itself is issued by the state or territory WHS regulator after a Notice of Satisfactory Assessment. Completing the unit alone does not issue the licence card.
When is a CB licence required for bridge or gantry cranes?
Safe Work Australia guidance requires a CB HRW licence to operate a bridge or gantry crane controlled from a permanent cabin or control station on the crane (regardless of powered-operation count), or remotely controlled with more than three powered operations (hoisting raise and lower counts as one). Remote plant with a maximum of three powered operations (e.g. traverse, travel and hoist) does not require CB.
Does a CB licence include load estimation and slinging?
Yes. The CB class includes applying load estimation and slinging techniques to move a load when operating bridge or gantry plant. CB holders still need a dogger (or rigger) to direct the load when it is out of the operator’s view, and CB does not authorise dogging on other crane classes.
