An installed fall-protection system only does its job if it's maintained — a roof anchor or static line that hasn't been checked is a fall waiting to happen. Inspekta inspects and recertifies permanent height safety systems across regional NSW, in accordance with AS/NZS 1891.4:2025 and AS/NZS 5532, so your system stays safe, operational and inspection-current.

Height safety systems must be inspected at least once every 12 months to maintain their structural integrity, confirm effective fall protection, and keep workers safe. A current inspection is also central to meeting your work health and safety obligations and preventing fall-related incidents. Servicing Dubbo, Wagga Wagga, Newcastle and New South Wales, we support mining, civil construction, renewables, drilling, facilities and trades wherever people work at height.

Proprietary anchor and lifeline systems have specific, manufacturer-defined inspection and recertification requirements — so who inspects your system matters. Inspekta's competent inspectors have completed training from leading Australian height safety manufacturers, including:

• SafetyLink
• Kattsafe (formerly Sayfa)

Our inspectors are qualified in height safety system inspection and certification, enabling them to assess and certify your system's compliance with AS/NZS 1891.4 at the time of inspection, and to identify and report any non-conformances.

• Roof anchor points — surface-mounted, retro-fit, tile and concrete anchors
• Horizontal lifelines & static lines — cable systems, energy absorbers, end and intermediate posts
• Rigid rail systems
• Walkway systems & guardrails
• Ladder & access systems — fixed ladders, ladder brackets and fall-arrest rails
• System labelling & signage — load ratings, user limits and inspection tags.

What Our Inspection Involves:

1. System review — we review the installed system and any available as-installed documentation or previous inspection records.
2. Component inspection — we physically inspect each component for corrosion, damage, wear, secure fixings and structural condition, against AS/NZS 1891.4 and (for anchors) AS/NZS 5532.
3. Load testing where required — anchor points and fixings are load-tested/recertified where the standard or manufacturer requires it.
4. Certification & non-conformance reporting — compliant components are certified and tagged; non-conformances are clearly identified with recommended corrective action.
5. Tagging — each system/anchor is tagged with the inspection date and the next inspection due date.
6. Detailed report — you receive a written report outlining system condition, any non-conformances, and recommended corrective actions.

Our inspections are carried out in accordance with:

• AS/NZS 1891.4:2025 — Industrial fall-arrest systems and devices: Selection, use and maintenance
• AS/NZS 5532 — Manufacturing requirements for single-point anchor devices (the anchor standard)
• AS/NZS 1891.2 — Horizontal lifeline and rail systems

Is a system inspection legally required? Falls from height are a leading cause of workplace death and serious injury in Australia. As a PCBU you have a mandatory duty under Work Health and Safety law to manage the risk of falls, which includes keeping installed fall-protection systems maintained and inspected. AS/NZS 1891.4 sets the recognised inspection regime, and a system without a current inspection tag should not be relied on. A documented annual inspection is how you demonstrate you're meeting that obligation.
