The forgotten part of building design
Height access and fall protection systems are often an afterthought and only considered at the final stage of the design, when work has already been commenced or, worse still, once the building has been completed. This lack of planning is a mindset that Kattsafe is endeavouring to change within the industry.
The consequence of failing to correctly design a height safety system early can cause significant knock-on effects to your project:
Substructures may not be sufficiently designed to support the new equipment, resulting in the requirement for new slabs to be poured.
Schedules for works to implement these changes may cause major disruptions and time delays.
If delayed even further, late installations can add additional time to already stretched completion timelines.
As any developer knows, changes at any stage to a project can see budgets blow out by thousands of dollars.
The game has changed in height safety.
New expectations for safe working at heights are being enforced by the courts and we are all under the microscope.
The thought process in the past was that the responsibility of height access and fall protection systems belonged to either the Owner/Manager or the Contractor. The new reality is that if things go wrong and there is a fatality as a result of a fall from height then everybody from Architect to Builder, Building Owner/Manager to Contractor can all be found accountable.
Australian work health and safety legislation requires that all design parties "consult, cooperate and coordinate their activities, so far as it is reasonably practicable, and they are not to transfer or delegate responsibilities to others, or assume that someone else is taking care of work health and safety requirements".
