Height Safety Equipment
Height safety equipment must be periodically inspected by a competent person. This inspection involves assessing fall protection systems and equipment to ensure they are compliant, correctly installed, and fit for use. Failure to provide suitable, sound equipment could result in serious injury or death, and of course, prosecution. HSEA assists our clients to ensure they reduce this risk and comply with Australian Standards and WHS legal obligations.
1
Site Review & Asset Identification
We start by reviewing your workplace, access requirements, and tasks involving work at height. This includes identifying all height safety systems and equipment, such as temporary anchor points, harnesses, type 1, 2 and 3 fall arrest devices, lanyards, helmets, connectors and even your ladders. We take into account how equipment is used in your workplace, as well as the environmental conditions, including - exposure to corrosion or wear, making sure our inspections reflect your actual use, site conditions, and of course, obligations under Australian Standards and WHS legislation. No more generic checklists.

Inspection & Functional Assessment
Each item of height safety equipment is inspected in accordance with manufacturer requirements and Australian Standards. Inspections involve assessing structural integrity, wear, deformation, corrosion, labels, and component compatibility. Where required, functional testing is performed to ensure systems operate as designed. Any damaged, non-compliant, or unsafe equipment is clearly identified and removed from service to prevent continued use that could result in serious injury or death from falls.
3
Reporting & Compliance Documentation
Following our inspection and testing, compliant equipment is clearly labelled with inspection status and service dates. We provide detailed records for all inspected items, including pass/fail test results, identified defects, and corrective actions. All records meet Australian Standards and WHS obligations.
