Working at Height Authority Report
Do my height safety systems need to be inspected?
OSH Regulation 3.51 requires fall injury prevention systems be inspected at regular intervals by a competent person
AS/NZS 1891.4 states that harnesses, lanyards and fall arrest devices should be inspected at intervals not exceeding 6 months

Did You Know?
By law all height safety equipment needs to be inspected on a regular basis (in most cases every 6 months).
Not just anyone can conduct these inspections. The Regulations require that competent, trained and experienced persons with knowledge and skills in inspection of height safety equipment conduct these inspections.

"I wanted to pass on my thanks and acknowledge the professionalism of one of your employees. Lee Epis was engaged to conduct a routine inspection of our workshop roof and while undertaking this task noticed that some equipment being used by one of our contractors was not compliant. He notified our OSH Coordinator straight away. Lee then provided a very comprehensive report which included not only the issue but also potential solutions and the way the report was written and presented was first class. We then acted on this immediately and got it rectified.
Thankyou to Lee and also SRE for this “duty of care” driven approach. I was really impressed."

Tagging Equipment
SRE have refined the tagging of equipment. Insecurity of tags was a major problem in the past.
This has been overcome with the introduction of SRE's new ratchet tag and log record.
Do I need a height safety system on my roof?
OSH Regulation 3.49 requires that each risk of falling from height be identified, assessed and reduced accordingly
OSH Regulation 3.55 requires that if persons can fall 3mtrs or more from a roof either edge protection (guardrails) or a fall injury prevention system (harnesses, anchor points, static lines etc) must be used.
Why Inspect?
Harnesses, lanyards and permanently installed systems are effective in minimizing the risk of working at heights. To do this properly they must be in good working order.
