A height safety system is a combination of engineered controls—such as anchor points, static lines, guardrails, ladders, and walkways—designed to protect workers from falls when accessing or working at height, typically on roofs or elevated structures.

The building owner, principal, or facility manager is legally responsible for ensuring that height safety systems are in place, compliant, and maintained. If contractors or staff need roof access, you must provide a safe and compliant means for them to do so.

An audit is a detailed assessment of your current height safety setup to identify risks, gaps, and compliance issues. A recertification is the annual inspection of an existing, previously certified system to ensure it’s still safe and legally compliant.

By law, all height safety systems must be inspected and recertified every 12 months to comply with Australian Standards (AS/NZS 1891.4, AS/NZS 1657) and OHS regulations. Annual recertification helps ensure your systems remain safe, functional, and legally compliant.

The standards are the same, but schools must also comply with VSBA (Victorian School Building Authority) guidelines. We understand these requirements inside out and make sure your site passes both audit and access obligations—keeping staff, students, and contractors safe.

If it’s been more than 12 months since your last inspection—or you don’t have current compliance documentation on file—your system is likely overdue. We can check your last recertification date or audit your site to confirm.

Depending on your roof layout and access needs, your site may require a combination of anchor points, static lines, guardrails, access ladders, platforms, and walkways. We assess each site individually and design a system that meets both your safety needs and compliance requirements.

Absolutely. We offer comprehensive audits and risk assessments to evaluate your site and recommend the safest, most cost-effective solution—whether you need a new system, an upgrade, or just an annual recert.
