Safety Line Compliance Testing & Certification

Manufacturers recommend Safety Line Testing every 12 months for safety line systems installed at your site, however we strongly recommend that you test your safety line or cable systems every 6 months for peace of mind. Not only will you be safe from potential harm, if something does happen, your company can show that it has done everything to prevent accidents happening.

Safety line systems are an example of fall protection equipment that protect workers at height from falling. They function as both fall protection systems and fall arrest systems, however, meaning if a fall does occur, it'll prevent serious injury, protecting worker safety.

In order to prevent system failure, these safety systems need to be properly maintained, and that involves inspection and certification services completed by a competent person. Our team of operatives at Altus Safety can conduct a thorough assessment to determine whether your safety line systems are fully compliant with all relevant regulations and British Standards, and will also carry out additional checks.

An example of an additional check might be ensuring that all relevant personal protective equipment (PPE) is accessible for workers prior to using the safety line system. If a worker can access equipment, then they will be more likely to wear it, offering enhanced safety and protections.

16 Questions when choosing a Fall Protection Company

Altus Safety Protection

As part of our service, we offer routine inspection and regular fall protection testing of a range of safety equipment and systems. But we don't expect you to remember to book those inspection and certification services every 6-12 months.

Instead, we offer a reminder service, where we reach out 2 months prior to your inspection due date to arrange a date and time that suits you.

And to make the whole process even simpler, if any small repairs or improvements are necessary, we can arrange a same day fix to prevent additional visits and their associated costs. We'll also always provide a detailed report and estimate so you know exactly what work is necessary and why.

Once the site visit is complete we will ensure all Safety Line, Cable or Track systems are tagged and dated clearly, and provide certificates as well as any reports and images.

Ensuring you remain fully compliant with safety regulations and recommendations is vital. It protects your workers first and foremost, but it also protects your business in the event of an accident.

At the end of the day, accidents happen, even with all the proper safe access systems, fall protection systems, and fall arrest systems in place. But if you can show that safety standards on your site are high, with the relevant certification to show that you have regular inspection and certification of your safety line systems carried out by a working at height safety company, then you'll be able to show how you did everything you could to prevent an accident.

It's important that all of your workers are confident in their ability to inspect a safety line system before and after every use to protect themselves and others. If they're unsure how, then our Altus 360 training program might be of interest.
Regardless, a visual inspection of the system should be carried out regularly to catch any minor issues. Some things to look out for include:
- signs of vandalism
- loose or missing components
- damage
- lack of PPE
- loose fittings and fixtures
