Height Safety for Health & Education

Height Safety for Health & Education is essential for maintaining safe, compliant access systems while minimising disruption to staff, students, patients and visitors.

RIGCOM provides height safety inspections, recertification, installations and rectification works for schools, universities, hospitals and other health and education facilities across Australia.

Managing Height Safety for Health & Education

Schools, universities, hospitals and healthcare facilities often remain fully operational while maintenance, inspections and contractor works are being performed. This requires height safety systems that support safe access, minimise disruption and provide clear compliance records for ongoing asset management.

RIGCOM helps facility teams maintain safer access systems across education and healthcare environments through inspections, recertification, installations and rectification works. These works often need to be completed within live operational environments where access, disruption and safety must be carefully managed. Many inspection, maintenance and rectification activities must be completed as live site works to minimise disruption to students, patients, staff and visitors.

Common Height Safety Challenges for Health & Education

RIGCOM supports public sector organisations with practical height safety solutions for complex assets, public facilities and compliance-driven environments.

Working Around Critical Operations

Maintenance and compliance works often need to be completed while students, staff, patients and visitors continue to use the facility.

Protecting Staff, Contractors & Visitors

Height safety systems need to support maintenance activities while helping protect staff, contractors, students, patients and visitors across active facilities.

Maintaining Compliance Records

Inspection history, certification status, asset registers and rectification recommendations need to remain accurate, accessible and up to date.

Health & Education 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 schools, universities, hospitals and healthcare facilities?

Yes. RIGCOM supports schools, universities, TAFE campuses, hospitals and healthcare facilities with inspections, recertification, compliance reporting, asset registers and ongoing height safety management.
