Understanding Working at Heights Australian Standards
This aspect of health and safety is vitally important because there is human welfare and life itself at stake. When there is work to be done on the roof or up in the rafters, you need to be sure your equipment is of the right Australian standard for working at heights and in good condition, that access is good, and that maintenance can be carried out safely. Now, there is a lot to get your head around in this respect, so the sensible answer is to engage a team of experts.
We have been in business since 1997 and in that time, we have seen some awful standards of safety that business owners were sometimes simply unaware of. Some had had equipment installed that was not practical or fit for purpose because the working at heights Australian standard is pretty demanding. Unfortunately, having bought such equipment in good faith is not the point. If it’s not good enough, it has to be replaced and that’s all there is to it.
