Falling from heights is the leading cause of injury-related hospitalisations and deaths in Australia, and two in every five deaths from accidents are caused by falls.
Absolute Lifting and Safety services all Height Safety needs by supplying and testing height safety and fall prevention equipment. Many industries rely on height safety equipment, including harnesses, fall protection equipment, anchor points, static lines, ladder systems, rescue kits, and confined space equipment. If any height safety equipment were to fail, the consequences could be devasting.
At Absolute Lifting and Safety, we provide our clients who rely on height safety equipment, with well-trained inspection and testing technicians, who are competent in using the specialist testing apparatus required to perform critical tests on height safety equipment. These tests help provide a safe working environment and ensure workplace fall prevention practices are current.
Queensland Government Workplace Regulations stipulate that fall prevention is mandatory where the risk of falling is at least two metres or more. In Australia, height safety equipment should be inspected every six months or more frequently if it is subjected to severe conditions or high usage.
