What is a possible consequence of failing to work safely as a HRW licence holder?

Failing to work safely as a High Risk Work (HRW) licence holder can lead to the cancellation of your licence. HRW licences are issued to individuals who have demonstrated their competence in operating certain types of machinery or carrying out specific tasks deemed high risk. The responsibility associated with these licenses includes adhering to strict safety protocols and regulations designed to protect both the operator and those around them.

If a licence holder does not follow safety procedures, it not only puts their own safety at risk but also endangers coworkers, bystanders, and the general public. Authorities take incidents of unsafe work practices seriously, and repeated violations, or any serious infraction, may result in disciplinary actions including the cancellation of the licence. This serves as both a punitive measure and a deterrent, reinforcing the importance of safety in high-risk environments.
