Multi-site inspection identifies height safety system flaws
A Gold Coast health operator asked Height Dynamics to independently assess the compliance and condition of height safety installations on its buildings
FINDINGS
We identified anchor points that weren’t installed in
accordance with manufacturer specifications and an unsafe
anchor point extension strop installation. These had all been
recently installed and certified by others.
This was all compiled into a detailed inspection report with
recommendations to employ free Height Dynamics Asset
Tracking system to help management maintain the condition
of height safety assets and ensure WHS compliance.
THE OUTCOME
Height Dynamics decommissioned several Safetylink Froglink
anchor points because of their positioning ona “short” roof sheet
with minimal roof fixing screws into the roof structure. This setup
was compromising the anchor point’s ability to perform as intended
in the event of a fallen worker. Stitching screws into flashing
only above anchor
