Your Height Safety Audit Specialists

Why do I need a Height Safety Audit?

Because its your responsibility to provide a safe work environment for all persons who perform work on or around their buildings. This includes not only your employees, but any person that requires access to the roof. Failing to provide adequate safety for workers, especially when conducting high risk work such as working at height can leave you open to serious consequences. There have already been several convictions recorded proving that authorities are ready and willing to prosecute should they find cause to do so.

Who can perform a Height Safety Inspection?

As experts in Height Safety, we have the necessary training and experience to conduct audits for major Australian companies in hazard identification and risk assessment for safe work at height, confined space and fire and rescue. At O'Brien Maintenance Group we only use experienced in-house certified team to site inspect and review roof anchor systems. We also ensure that we comply with AS/NZS 1891:3 Part 3: Fall Arrest Devices, AS/NZS 1891.4 Part 4: Selection, Use and Maintenance of Industrial Fall Arrest Systems and Devices and Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Act 2004.

Inspection or Audit?

The main difference between the safety inspections and safety audits is their duration and scope. Safety audits are less frequent and more extensive than safety inspections. An annual safety audit could take several days to complete, while a safety inspection might only take five or 10 minutes at the beginning of each shift. If your fall protection systems have not been inspected or recertified in the last 12 months it is time to get them checked. A Height Safety Specialist can conduct a height safety audit and will provide a report on your existing systems. They can also give you information of what action you may need to take to ensure compliance.

What gets checked in an Audit?

During a height safety audit, we:

Highlight areas of concern by conducting a risk assessment
Check current systems for compliance to Australian Standards and other relevant industry guidelines
Ensure existing components and equipment have had recertification and inspections carried out as per manufacturer’s requirements
Offer practical and compliant solutions in accordance with the hierarchy of control for working at heights.
