Height safety in Ballarat, from a Ballarat team.
Anchors, static lines, ladders, guardrail and walkways, installed and certified. Existing systems inspected and recertified, whoever put them in. We're based in Ballarat, so we're not driving up from Melbourne to do it.
Local, so small jobs make sense
A lot of height safety work in Ballarat is small. One anchor that's overdue for recertification. A ladder that failed its inspection. A new air conditioner that now sits too close to the edge.
For a firm based in Melbourne those are hard to justify, so they get put off or bundled into a bigger trip. We're here, so they don't have to wait.
Old buildings and new ones
Ballarat has a mix you don't get everywhere. In the centre there are gold-rush era buildings with slate roofs and old timber framing that was never designed to take fall arrest loads. Out in Delacombe, Mitchell Park, Wendouree and the Ballarat West Employment Zone, new warehouses and plants are going up with access designed in from the start.
We do both. Heritage roofs need structure added before the system goes on, and every penetration detailed so it doesn't leak. That's the same work we did on the slate roofs at Werribee Mansion. New builds need the system designed, installed and certified in time for handover, like we did at the Ballarat Homemaker Centre.
Height safety systems we install and certify in Ballarat
Roof anchor points
Single anchors for fall arrest or restraint, fixed into structure that can take the load, not just the sheeting.
Static lines
Horizontal lifelines so a worker stays connected while moving along a roof, a gutter or a ridge.
Roof guardrail
Fixed or freestanding rail at edges, around plant and at roof hatches, so nobody needs a harness to work there.
Roof walkways
Set routes to plant and gutters that keep people off brittle sheeting, skylights and slate.
Fixed ladders and ladder lines
Caged or uncaged ladders with landings to AS 1657, and vertical ladder lines that keep the climber attached.
Roof access hatches
A safe way through the roof from inside, with guardrail around the opening.
Plant platforms and step-overs
Level, guarded decks around HVAC units, and fixed crossings over pipework, ducts and roof level changes.
Internal access
Ladders, platforms and stairs to mezzanines, ceiling spaces and plant rooms.

Inspections that don't need a day trip
Anchors, static lines and ladders need periodic inspection to stay in service. Because we're local, one building or one anchor is still worth doing properly, and we can book you in around your tenants.

FAQs
Height safety in Ballarat: common questions
Are you based in Ballarat?
Yes. Promax Group is based in Ballarat, so local inspections and small repairs don't need a day trip from Melbourne.
How often do roof anchors and static lines need inspecting?
Usually every 12 months. The exact interval comes from the manufacturer and AS/NZS 1891.4, and we'll tell you what applies to your system when we inspect it.
Can you inspect a system someone else installed?
Yes. We inspect and recertify existing systems whoever installed them. If there are no records, we inspect it, tag what passes, and rebuild the layout plan and logbook.
What happens if part of the system fails inspection?
It's tagged out of service and we quote to repair or replace it. You get a report with photos showing what failed and why.
Do you install for builders on new projects?
Yes. We supply, install and certify the full roof access package as a subcontract, and hand over the certificates, layout plans and logbook. In Ballarat we've done this for SJ Weir and ARK Industrial Construction.
Do you work outside Ballarat?
Yes. We cover the Central Highlands, including Creswick, Buninyong, Ballan and Daylesford, and work across Victoria and interstate.
Which standards do you work to?
AS/NZS 1891.4 for the selection, use and maintenance of fall protection, AS/NZS 5532 for single-point anchors, and AS 1657 for fixed platforms, walkways, stairways and ladders.
