Access Safety Australia enables employers to comply with all OH&S requirements.

We operate independantly of equipment installers and undertake comprehensive inspections and audits.

Our reports detail all hazards, provide risk assessments and recommend solutions to control risks.

System designs complete with work scopes & specifications ensure compliance with Australian Standards, Codes of Practice, client and practical site requirements.

Works certification & sign off ensures that systems and control measures are correctly installed and documented, procedures developed, training and staff liaison ensured.

The Occupational Health & Safety Act 2004 clearly sets out the requirements for an employer to provide for the health & safety of employees.

" An employer must, so far as is reasonably practicable, provide and maintain for employees of the employer a working environment that is safe and without risks to health."

The OH&S Regulations 2007 further defines requirements and responsibilities in the prevention of falls of more than 2m.

It is the employer's duty to:

- identify tasks involving a fall hazard
- undertake risk assessments
- control the risk (as per heirarchy guidelines)
- ensure control measures are properly used and maintained
- ensure that any plant used is safely used and maintenened
- ensure that emergency procedures are established before tasks are undertaken.
- provide information, instruction and training to employees - consult health and safety representative where required

The employer has a responsibility not only to direct employees but to any independent contractor engaged by an employer and any employees of the independent contractor.
