DREAMWORLD has been issued three prohibition notices by Workplace Health and Safety QLD (WHSQ) inspectors over its Buzzsaw ride, relating to safety harnesses and staff access.

WHSQ issued the notices relating to “maintenance safety harness anchor points” on the BuzzSaw, ordering the company to undertake additional certification.

With Standards constantly changing and with training & maintenance requirements increasing each year, many organisations go into reactive mode with regards to managing their working at heights risk and PPE. Instead of simply "ticking the box" just to meet the minimum compliance requirements, we need to look more effective ways to manage the changing risks of our workplaces and ensure our PPE meets these needs. When we do this, we discover ways to remove the layers of complexity from equipment application and selection, make it more simple to train our team and maintain their skills, ensure what we specify is fit for purpose and all while comply with any Regulatory requirements we face.

HEIGHTECH can help. By working with us, you can design a comprehensive and fit-for-purpose fall protection plan that stays abreast of changes in Standards and removes the complexity of product selection, with the core focus of keeping your workers safe.

Is the CE marking mandatory? In Europe, all products covered by a European regulatory text (a regulation or directive) must bear the CE (European Conformity) marking. For personal protective equipment, EU regulation 2016/425 (formerly the 89/686/EC directive) regulates the manufacture and marketing of fall protection PPE.

European Union Export Restrictions and 3M Product Availability Update re: 2019 Novel Coronavirus and COVID-19

Dear Valued Customer,

On March 15th, the European Union introduced export authorization requirements for exports of certain Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) outside of the European Union in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. The regulation is (EU) 2020/402 and is initially effective for a six-week period but could be extended. This regulation will be enacted by each country’s customs authority which will establish a process for receiving export licenses from EU to other countries.

This new regulation will likely impact 3M’s ability to supply certain Personal Protective Equipment sourced from our manufacturing operations in the European Union to customers in non-European Union countries.
