Height Safety Engineers supplies and installs permanent fall arrest systems of the highest quality and compliance standards. Height Safety Engineers guarantees ‘value for money’ systems which meet legislative requirements without compromise on compliance.

RecertificationHeight safety systems are required by law to be inspected annually.

Australian Standards requires all height safety systems to be inspected annually due to the high risk nature of working at heights. Previously compliant height safety systems can be rendered unsafe/non-compliant for many reasons:

• Structural changes to building/vehicles (planned or otherwise) such as installation of solar panels.

• Compromised building material integrity due to:

w Weather events w Insects w Rust w Stress or vibration weakening

• Damaged height safety equipment fixtures due to misuse or collateral damage

• Poor quality installation

Why should I use HSE for Recertification?

HSE’s Recertification division is NATA accredited for compliance with ISO/IEC 17020 – the only height safety company in Australia to achieve this range of accreditation. To achieve this, we needed to meet stringent standards of service, quality and compliance. This means the inspections and advice we provide are guaranteed to be trustworthy and reputable.

Our recertification division only employs technicians who have had a minimum of three (3) years experience in the industry. As a result, the combined industry experience of our recertification technicians totals 98 years, with the average individual experience being 9.5 years. This knowledge and experience has proven to be invaluable to our customers, who have come to depend on our advice, and is the reason for our reputable position in the industry.

Our service includes a thorough inspection and then we will notify you of the current status of your system. You will receive a NATA certified Certificate of Compliance if your system does comply and if we find the system is unsafe/non compliant, you will receive a detailed report with photos to help you bring the system back into
