Working at heights is a safety consideration in areas where there is a fall risk from heights greater than 2 meters. As most properties have roofs where works may be conducted, we generally make recommendations concerning working at heights. Generally, the control of risk for such works will be managed by the contractor. For the Owners Corporation’s part we suggest that they confirm with the relevant trades people or company that they have appropriate safety procedures and competence in working safely at heights. Advising the contractor of any known additional hazards with regards to working at heights is also be advised (e.g. if there are any damaged, fragile, unstable, or slippery surfaces on the roofs and the presence or absence of access and safety systems) to fulfill duty of care and to assist contractors in conducting their job safety analysis. Your contractors should be familiar with the OHS regulations and the relevant Worksafe guides and codes pertaining to the prevention of falls. Where working at heights systems are installed, the Owners Corporation is responsible for ensuring they are maintained and ensuring access to the roofs is appropriately restricted to authorised persons. If concerns arise regarding safety at heights, the Owners Corporation may consult a working at heights systems installer for more specific advice and potential improvements suitable for the property in question.
