A basic rigging licence, often called an RB ticket, is a high-risk work licence issued by SafeWork NSW that covers rigging tasks such as setting up cranes, hoists and steel erection equipment on a basic level. Tradies in construction, steel fixing and crane operations typically need this ticket before working on site.
Across NSW, 14 registered training organisations offer the basic rigging course, with prices from $1,250 to $1,650 and typical course durations of 3 to 5 days. Providers are located in suburbs including Ingleburn, Warrawong, Unanderra and Campbelltown.
The RB licence is valid for 60 months from issue. Renewal is handled online through Service NSW and does not require a course or reassessment, though some workers choose optional refresher training to update their skills before renewing.
