  • Legal Compliance – Compliance with regulations such as the Work at Height Regulations 2005 ensures that your business meets required safety standards, avoiding fines and penalties.
  • Extending Equipment Lifespan – Routine checks and maintenance help to detect wear and tear early, preventing costly replacements and ensuring the longevity of equipment.
  • Reducing Liability – Employers can avoid lawsuits and compensation claims by ensuring workers use properly certified safety equipment.

What We Inspect & Certify

  • Fall Arrest Systems – Inspection and certification of horizontal and vertical lifelines, roof cable systems, and fall arrest anchors to ensure reliability and compliance.
  • Safe Access Equipment – Testing walkways, step-overs, platforms, and ladders to confirm they provide secure access and reduce risks.
  • Collective Protection Systems – Examining guardrails and edge protection systems to ensure they meet safety requirements and provide effective collective fall prevention.
  • Anchorage & Eyebolt Systems – Conducting pull testing and recertification of fixed and removable anchor points to verify their load-bearing capacity.

  • Lightning Protection Equipment – Verifying the integrity of lightning protection systems to prevent hazards related to electrical storms.

How Often Should Fall Protection Systems Be Inspected?

To maintain compliance and safety, fall protection systems must be inspected regularly:

  • Annually – All installed fall protection systems must be inspected at least once a year to ensure they remain in good working condition and meet current safety regulations.
  • Every 6 Months – Personal fall protection equipment (PPE), including harnesses and lanyards, as well as abseiling equipment, require more frequent checks due to their high level of usage and wear.
  • After Significant Events – If an incident occurs, such as extreme weather conditions or a fall, an immediate inspection must be carried out to assess any potential damage and ensure continued safety.

Failing to conduct timely inspections can lead to undetected deterioration, increasing the risk of failure when the equipment is most needed.
