Frequently Asked Questions

When is a caged ladder required versus a standard fixed ladder?

AS 1657 requires fall protection on fixed ladders above 6 metres. This can be provided by a cage, a vertical lifeline or a combination. Caged ladders are the most common solution as they provide passive protection.

Can roof access ladders be secured to prevent unauthorised access?

Yes. We offer lockable ladder guards, retractable bottom sections and removable lower rung systems that prevent unauthorised access while allowing quick deployment.

Do roof access ladders need annual certification?

Yes. Fixed access ladders should be inspected annually as part of your height safety compliance programme.

Do you install AS 1657 compliant roof access systems for Adelaide homes?

Yes. We install domestic roof access systems across Adelaide as well as commercial systems. Domestic installations are common for two storey homes, granny flats and properties with solar arrays or rooftop plant that need regular access. Every domestic system uses the same AS 1657 compliant ladders, brackets and fixings as our commercial work, sized to suit residential roof structures.
