Compliance with a standard is mandatory if stated as such in the work health and safety legislation. Neither AS/NZS 1891.4 nor AS/NZS 5532 are mandatory standards in the legislation.

However, the falls code does include references to the AS/NZS 1891 series and ‘relevant Australian/New Zealand Standards’.

ERGO iPlus harnesses are our premium range of products and showcase some of our latest technology. Starting with the revolutionary, patented iWeb™, inspection-ready webbing which gives, for the first time, an objective inspection criteria for cuts and abrasion.

Additionally, after many years of research we have arrived at our premium padding offer which, in the case of our ergonomically supportive waist belts, delivers on the ventilation performance so many have promised but failed to deliver.

Comfortable enough to wear all day long these reliable harnesses are certified to AS/NZS 1891.1 and supported by a NATA accredited compliance and batch testing regime.

Given the number of questions received in relation to Australian Standards AS/NZS 5532 and AS/NZS 1891.4 and the Work Health and Safety legislation SafeWork NSW has published a fact sheet explaining their expectations.
