Fall arrest – protecting lives after a fall
A fall arrest system stops a fall after it has begun and protects workers from serious injury when working at height. Kattsafe designs, engineers and installs fully compliant fall arrest systems across Australia and New Zealand, meeting all requirements of AS/NZS 1891.4 and AS/NZS 5532.
When fall prevention is not practical, a fall arrest system provides a critical second level of protection. These systems are made up of anchors, static lines, rigid rails and harnesses that allow workers to move safely while remaining securely connected. Kattsafe delivers solutions for both new buildings and retrofits, ensuring reliable performance on every project.
Choosing a fall arrest system
When choosing a fall arrest system, consider the type and frequency of maintenance, the competence of personnel, the roof structure and the level of mobility required.
Kattsafe provides systems for both new construction and retrofit projects, delivering solutions that meet AS/NZS 1891.4 and integrate seamlessly with your building design.
