Australian standards require height safety systems to be inspected at least annually by a competent person. However, systems subject to heavy use or harsh environmental conditions may require more frequent inspection. We recommend six-monthly inspections for high-traffic installations and after any incident that may have loaded the system.

Fall-restraint systems prevent a person from reaching a fall hazard by limiting their range of movement. Fall-arrest systems allow a person to reach the edge but arrest their fall if one occurs. Fall-arrest systems require more robust anchoring and must include shock-absorbing elements to reduce impact forces on the body.

Yes, height safety systems can be retrofitted to existing buildings. Our engineers assess the structural capacity of your building and design appropriate mounting solutions. In some cases, structural reinforcement may be required to support the loads imposed by fall-arrest systems.

Only trained and competent persons should use height safety systems. Users must be trained in the correct selection and use of personal protective equipment, pre-use inspection procedures and emergency response protocols. We provide training programmes to ensure your personnel can operate systems safely and confidently.

You will receive comprehensive documentation including engineering drawings, installation records, load-test certificates, equipment registers with unique identification numbers, user manuals and maintenance schedules. This documentation is essential for demonstrating compliance during safety audits and workplace inspections.

Yes, we provide inspection, testing and recertification services for height safety systems regardless of who installed them. Our technicians are qualified to assess and certify all common system types. We can also provide remedial work if existing systems are found to be non-compliant or in poor condition.

Installation timeframes vary depending on system complexity and site access. A simple anchor point installation may be completed in a few hours, whilst a comprehensive horizontal lifeline system across a large building may require several days. We provide detailed project schedules during the quotation phase.

If a system fails inspection, we provide a detailed report outlining the deficiencies and required remedial work. Minor issues such as worn components can often be rectified immediately. More significant problems may require engineering assessment and structural repairs. Systems that fail inspection must be tagged out of service until repairs are completed and recertification is achieved.
