Managing Director, Craig Myton, is an advocate for 100% safety and for companies to focus on their specialties. “We have seen a marked increase in mining companies coming to us as they realise they have a clear and urgent need to provide a safe working environment to thousands of workers across multiple sites. To train each person in the minutiae of Height Safety protocols to a standard I would be happy with would not be an effi cient use of resources.

“RIGCOM Access operators are trained to exceed Australian Standards AS 1891 – Industrial Fall Arrest Systems and Devices, in each job they complete. This is underpinned by being well versed in how to improve height safety in your workplace through risk controls and safe business practices. This is the beginning.”

RIGCOM Access is a premium provider of Height Safety and Rope Access Services. Height Safety Services have become more and more necessary as injuries and deaths caused by dangerous practices when working ‘at height’ have become an unacceptable part of the Australian workplace especially when carrying out duties on elevated walkways, building facades, rooftops and overpasses which is avoidable.

“By providing value, height safety services that are safe, efficient and sustainable, we can help our clients better allocate their resources, maximise their budgets and focus on their core activities. In-house training programs are being developed to ensure our people are equipped with the right skills for each project including health and safety, site management, quality assurance and environmental processes. “

Anchor Points
RIGCOM Access chooses from a range of height safety absorbing anchors based on the precise requirements of the project. RIGCOM Access installed Anchor Points take into account the possible effects of loads, suspension trauma and pendulum/ swivel effects as well as stress of the host structure. Safety is always the top priority.

These three components form the basis of most solutions for at height tasks. “RIGCOM Access recognises a continuing need to use world’s best practice and equipment to ensure our people work safer, work efficiently and work correctly,” concludes Myton. “This is to ensure that the end user receives the full benefit of our investment.
