Compliance Testing is the professional inspection and assessment of equipment to establish its condition and identify defects or maintenance requirements. At Heightsafe, our Compliance Testing services focus on Work at Height, Fall Protection, Roof Access and Façade Access Systems.
Depending on the building, equipment can include Safety Lines, Guardrails, Roof Walkways, Access Ladders, Eyebolts, Abseil Points, Davit Arms, Mobile Man Anchors, PPE and specialist Façade Access equipment. Each system should be managed according to the requirements applicable to it.
There is no single interval that automatically applies to every Work at Height System. Frequency can depend on the equipment, manufacturer instructions, applicable legislation and standards, intended use, environmental conditions and previous findings.
Inspections should be undertaken by people with the appropriate competence, knowledge and experience for the equipment being assessed. Different systems can require different technical knowledge and inspection methods.
The process can include identifying the equipment, reviewing available system information, visually inspecting components, completing appropriate functional or technical checks and carrying out specific testing where required. The findings are then recorded and any defects or remedial requirements identified.
