HEIGHTECH can supply roofers safety equipment all over NSW Australia.

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.

NSW offers rebates to small businesses and sole traders who buy and install equipment that makes their workplace safer.

The small business rebate gives up to $500 back to small business owners who buy and install eligible safety items to address a safety problem in their workplace.

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’.
