Frequent Questions About Height Safety Regulations in Sydney
As outlined by SafeWork NSW, what are ‘administrative controls’?
Administrative controls are lower-order risk controls. These are used when higher-order measures, like guardrails, can’t fully eliminate the risk of a fall. They include procedures and systems that help minimise residual risks during work at height, such as:
- Safe work procedures
- Safe sequencing of work
- Safe use of ladders
- Permit systems
- Area signs
Who is responsible for compliance?
Building owners and persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) are legally responsible. They must ensure safe access to all areas where work at height may occur. This includes installing compliant systems and ensuring they are maintained and certified regularly.
Is there a minimum height requirement for safety measures?
In NSW, there is no minimum height requirement. Height safety measures must be implemented whenever there is a risk of a fall.
However, a safe work method statement is required for construction projects where a fall of more than two metres could occur.
