Councils & Government Height Safety FAQs

How often should height safety systems be inspected and recertified?

The inspection and recertification requirements for height safety systems depend on the type of system, manufacturer requirements and applicable standards. Regular inspections help verify that anchor points, static lines, walkways, guardrails and other safety systems remain in serviceable condition and fit for use.

RIGCOM can inspect existing systems, identify defects or non-compliances, and provide detailed reporting to support ongoing compliance and maintenance planning across managed properties.

If you’re unsure how frequently your systems should be inspected or recertified, RIGCOM can review your existing assets and help determine the appropriate inspection requirements for your site.

Can RIGCOM inspect height safety systems installed by other providers?

Yes. RIGCOM can inspect and assess existing height safety systems regardless of who originally installed them. Our team can identify defects, compliance concerns and maintenance requirements, providing detailed reporting to support informed decision-making and ongoing asset management.

Can RIGCOM support councils with multiple buildings or public assets?

Yes. RIGCOM supports councils and government organisations responsible for multiple public buildings and assets, including administration buildings, community halls, council depots, treatment plants, heritage buildings, civic facilities and public infrastructure. We can assist with inspections, recertification, compliance reporting, asset registers and ongoing height safety management across single sites or broader asset portfolios.
