What is a Fall Arrest System and Why Maintenance Matters
A fall arrest system is designed to stop a worker’s fall and prevent serious injury or death. It can include:
Roof anchor points
Horizontal lifelines
Harnesses & lanyards
Inertia reels & rope grabs
Without proper maintenance, these systems can fail when you need them most. Our Sydney height safety team makes sure your equipment is safe, compliant, and ready for use.

How Often Should Fall Arrest Systems Be Inspected?
In Australia, fall arrest systems must be inspected and recertified every 6 or 12 months, depending on:
System type
Environmental conditions
Manufacturer’s guidelines
At Abseilers United, we recommend quarterly visual checks and 12-monthly compliance inspections for high-use or coastal environments.

WHS fines and legal penalties
Work stoppages
Insurance claim rejections
Most importantly – endangering lives

Is Fall Arrest System Maintenance Required by Law in Australia?
Yes – WHS Regulations and AS/NZS 1891.4 require regular inspection and certification by a competent person. Non-compliance can result in fines, stop-work notices, and liability for accidents.
After a Fall – Can You Reuse the System?
No. If your fall arrest system has been involved in a fall, it must be removed from service and inspected immediately. Damaged parts must be replaced before it can be recertified.
How Long Does Fall Arrest System Maintenance Take?
Most inspections take 1–3 hours depending on system size and complexity. If repairs are needed, our team works efficiently to minimise downtime.
