Sydney Height Safety & Solutions

Do your height safety systems still comply?

Did you know that under the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 2001 (made under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2000) it clearly states:

"A controller of premises must ensure safe access is provided to all parts of a place of work to which a person may-require access and from which the person may fall."

Division 2    Fall Prevention Clause 39 Fall Prevention- particular risk control measures

"(1)   An employer must ensure that risks associated with falls from a height are controlled"

Division 6    Working at Heights Clause 56 Prevention of falls from heights-particular risk control measures

Does  your height safety systems and building comply with legislation?
