HRWL refresher training
Keep your team compliant, capable and ready to work
Refresh skills, reduce risk, and stay ahead of safety obligations
High-Risk Work Licences (HRWL) are essential in the construction and materials handling industry—but holding a licence isn’t the same as staying sharp.
At Falcon Cranes, we offer HRWL refresher training tailored to real-world construction sites and aligned with current WHS and industry best practices.
Delivered by experienced trainers with hands-on industry backgrounds, our refresher sessions help crane operators, riggers, and other high-risk workers stay up to date, build confidence, and operate safely under pressure.
Because in our industry, doing it right every time matters.
Refresher training isn’t optional
Even the most experienced workers benefit from reviewing processes, safety protocols, and new developments in regulations.
Our HRWL refresher training ensures your team is:
- Current on safety practices and legislation
- Confident in operational procedures
- Clear on site-specific requirements
- Capable of responding in high-risk environments
- Prepared for audits, inspections or licence checks
We go beyond the bare minimum, focusing on how training applies in the real world, on real equipment, on real projects, with real responsibilities.
Keep skills sharp and standards high

Frequently asked questions
Who needs HRWL refresher training?
While refresher training is not mandatory by law in all cases, it’s strongly recommended for any high-risk worker who:
- Has not recently operated under their licence
- Is joining a new site or working with new equipment
- Is returning from leave or injury
- Requires a skill update to meet current site standards
Who delivers the training?
Our HRWL refresher sessions are delivered by qualified, experienced industry professionals who understand both the technical and safety requirements of high-risk plant operation. We train our own crews and can deliver the same quality training for yours.
How long does the training take?
Most refresher sessions take half a day to a full day, depending on the class of licence and number of attendees. Training can be conducted on site or at a designated facility, with minimal disruption to your project schedule.
What’s the difference between a refresher and a full licence course?
A full HRWL course is for new operators seeking certification. Refresher training is designed for already licensed workers who need to review, update and reinforce their skills. It does not replace a licence but helps maintain safe, compliant performance.
Can HRWL training be tailored to our site?
Absolutely. We regularly customise refresher training based on your equipment, lift plan, project type and safety systems. This ensures relevance and real-world application.
