Health and Safety Bulletin No. 23 Attempted use of falsified licences

Last updated: 14 October 2025

WorkSafe Dangerous Goods Safety has identified attempts to use falsified shotfiring licences and high risk work licences (HRWL) to gain employment in other states.

A person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) must not direct or allow a worker to carry out high risk work which requires a HRWL unless the PCBU sees written evidence that the worker has the relevant HRWL.

You can verify a HRWL by entering the licence number in the Online Licence Search
