Sign installation

Industrial rope access (abseiling) is often used because it gives workers much more flexibility and accessibility than traditional scaffolding. These systems fall under Level 3 controls - basically, they’re work-positioning tools used when higher-level, passive fall prevention measures are considered not to be reasonably practicable for the job. This usually happens when the structure is very tall or has a tricky design, making other methods too difficult or impractical.

Installing signs on a high-rise building is considered high-risk construction work because there’s a real chance of someone falling more than two metres. Before starting, a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) should be prepared. This document should list all the hazards, like falls or objects dropping, and explain how each risk will be managed.

The hazard of falling objects is managed through strict controls in the SWMS. Key safety measures include securing tools with lanyards, coordinating work to prevent trades from working above or below each other at the same time, and using perimeter protection systems like screens or guardrails to contain any falling debris or materials.

Our high-access teams hold industry-recognised competency credentials, including IRATA/ARAA certifications. This certification ensures they are trained in complex rope access techniques, safe equipment usage, and mandatory emergency rescue procedures required for performing complicated installation tasks safely at height.

We can perform maintenance on illuminated signage. All work follows strict OHS protocols, and our SWMS specifically addresses hazards like electric shock to make sure electrical safety while working at height.
