Top 5 Height Safety Equipment Every Worker Should Have

Introduction
When it comes to working at heights, there’s no room for compromise. Whether you’re on a construction site, performing maintenance, or accessing rooftops, the risk of falling is a serious hazard. That’s why investing in the right height safety equipment is critical—not just for compliance, but for saving lives.

At Absafe Group, we specialise in high height safety equipment workers trust.

Here are our top 5 must‑have products for anyone working at heights.

1. Fall Arrest Harnesses
   Fall arrest harnesses are some of the most fundamental pieces of height safety equipment. Designed to distribute the force of a fall across the body, a properly fitted harness can mean the difference between a close call and a serious injury.
   Look for harnesses that:
   • Meet Australian standards (AS/NZS 1891)
   • Offer padded shoulder and leg straps for comfort
   • Include multiple attachment points for versatility
     At Absafe, we stock a wide range of trusted brands like Miller, Feno, and Skylotec.
2. Anchor Points and Lanyards
   Anchor points provide the secure connection a worker needs to stay attached to a structure. Whether on a roof or other hard‑to‑reach area, the anchor point ensures stability.
   The anchor points must be rated for the weight load and the task. Many are compatible with other hardware systems and lanyards.
3. Roof Access Systems
   Getting to elevated work areas safely is just as important as staying safe once you’re up there. That’s where roof access systems come in.
   This includes:
   • Ladders and ladder brackets
   • Roof hatches
   • Walkways and guardrails
     These systems should be strong, stable, and meet access requirements for industrial and commercial sites. We offer complete solutions tailored to your workspace.
4. Edge Protection Systems
   Edge protection systems are essential for jobs near unprotected edges—like rooftops, scaffolding, or elevated platforms. These can include:
   • Guardrails
   • Temporary fencing
   • Toe boards
     They not only protect workers but also help prevent tools or debris from falling, reducing the risk to people below. Need help choosing the right setup? Our team at Absafe can help assess your site and recommend the most effective solution.

   No height safety setup is complete without proper PPE. This includes:
   • Helmets to protect from falling objects or bumps
   • Gloves to protect hands from cold and hazards

     PPE works in conjunction with your fall protection system to ensure all‑round safety on site.
