Architects / Builders

As designers, your goal is to provide innovative and state-of-the-art designs for your clients. However, when required to supply specs for height safety systems where do you start? Read our article "Designing buildings is your specialty - but what about height safety equipment?"

As Australia's leading fall protection and height safety system designer and manufacturer it is our job to provide effective and compliant access and fall protection to those buildings.

SAYFA's design service is here to help architects and building designers to ensure that you are meeting your obligations as a designer while providing your clients with their Duty of Care responsibilities.

"SAYFA continue to be a valuable part of our team for new and current projects. We rely on their advice and comprehensive reporting but also continue to be informed about new products and changes to the Worksafe laws that affect their area of specialisation. "

What are your obligations?

The Code of Practice - Safe Design of Structures states, "A person conducting a business or undertaking that designs a structure that will be used, or could reasonably be expected to be used, as a workplace must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that the structure is without risks to health and safety". This includes "where maintenance needs to be undertaken at height" and "designing safe access, such as fixed ladders".

Are your designs meeting these requirements?
