How do you provide access to a roof hatch in a warehouse that is slightly further away from the wall than you might prefer?

By installing a suspended platform from the roof that runs to the wall where a fixed ladder provides access.

And to make it safer, we powder-coated it bright yellow so that forklifts and other plant can easily spot it and avoid driving into it.

Workers can now safely access the roof, where we have also installed roof anchors. This system will allow the installation and ongoing maintenance of a solar panel system in a safe manner.

Check out the photos of the completed job below. And if you need safe and compliant access to your solar system give our team a call on 1300 884 978.

"Why is my system failing now? It was compliant last year," is something that our team hears on a not infrequent basis.

There is a lot that can change between regular compliance inspections that mean a system that passed one inspection might fail the next.

On our blog this week, we look to explain what some of the more common reasons are, and how they come to pass.

Making your solar panels safe to access doesn't have to be difficult.

At this strata complex in Sydney's eastern suburbs, the Height Safety Engineers team installed static lines to make access around this solar panel array easy compliant and safe.

Although the gap between the solar system and roof edge is less than ideal, workers can utilise the static line and fall restraint technique to protect themselves against the risk of a fall.

Flick through the project gallery to see the installed system, and other fall protection improvements our team made as part of this site's redevelopment, including access to the roof areas through an internal hatch.

What good is a safety system if no one thinks it will work and then it is left unused?

There is a vast gulf that exists between saying a safety system is in place and having a safety system that protects people.

Everyone involved in a project has a role to play in developing a safety system that makes sure people are protected.

Height Safety Engineers are your partners in protecting people. Most directly we do that through our work in making sure the risks associated with working at height are compliantly and comprehensively mitigated.

But that protection also takes on other, less direct forms.

HSE recently completed, and passed, our first accreditation audit for ISO 14001 Environmental Management System.

We undertook this as we recognise the importance of making sure we leave the world, and the environment, in a better place than we found it. By going through this process we have now been able to create a sustainable, practical framework that our team can follow to help minimise our impact on the environment.

It's a small step, but if we are just another organisation making that small step, all those small steps can add up to substantial change and the makings of a better world.

Height Safety Engineers service clients the length and breadth of Australia.

Recently one of our teams was up in Bundaberg, Queensland, installing a new fall protection system for this food distributor.

The safety upgrades included new fixed ladders to access roof areas for maintenance, along with anchor anchor points. Areas where access is to be avoided had signage installed, and in some areas aluminium walkway provides a safe access path for workers.

An internal area had guardrail installed to protected workers going near a fall edge.

You can have a look at the finished project by flicking through the gallery.

The majority of fall protection systems are designed to stop a worker going over a edge. In fact, many systems are designed to not let you get near the edge in the first place.

But there are situations where going over the edge is all part of the plan.

Would you trust a computer with your or your worker's safety?

As artificial intelligence systems are being incorporated into more and more areas of our work it is important that how they are put together and how they work is understood.

This is especially true when it comes to workplace safety. If computer systems are to be entrusted with lives, there needs to be knowledge of how their outputs are calculated.

On our blog, we look at what some of the limitations of AI are, how they work and what to look out for if you are using one as part of your safety setup.
