Height Safety System Design
Design consultation for new builds and existing buildings, from risk assessment to certified drawings.
Overview
Getting height safety right starts at the design stage. Under WHS Regulations, designers of structures have a duty to eliminate or minimise fall risks so far as is reasonably practicable. Our engineers and height safety designers work with architects, builders and building owners to develop solutions that satisfy NCC requirements for safe maintenance access and meet WHS Safe Design obligations. From initial consultation and risk assessment through to detailed design documentation, we ensure your building has compliant and practical fall protection from day one.

When should height safety be considered in the building design process?
Height safety should be considered during the schematic design phase, ideally before DA lodgement. Early integration reduces costs, avoids retrofit complications and ensures the roof structure is designed to support the required safety systems. Under the WHS Act, designers must address height safety as part of the Safe Design process.
Do you provide height safety designs for NCC compliance?
Yes. Our designs address NCC requirements for safe maintenance access, including fall prevention provisions for commercial buildings under Volume One. We provide specifications and drawings suitable for inclusion in construction documentation and building certification.
Can you design height safety for heritage-listed buildings?
Yes. We have extensive experience designing height safety solutions for heritage-listed and conservation-significant buildings. Our designs use reversible fixing methods, minimal visual impact, and heritage-sensitive materials where required by conservation management plans.
