Designing Height Safety Systems That Keep People and Assets Protected

Making access safe, simple, and compliant

Height safety systems are the backbone of safe building and infrastructure maintenance. From anchor points to walkways and guardrails, the right system ensures workers can carry out inspections, cleaning, and repairs without risk. IA Solutions specialises in tailoring these systems to each site’s unique challenges.

What are height safety systems

Height safety systems include anchor points, static lines, walkways, guardrails, and access ladders that allow workers to safely reach and maintain high or exposed areas. IA Solutions designs, installs, and certifies these systems to meet strict AS/NZS standards.

Where height safety systems matter most

High-rise buildings
IA Solutions installed the complete height safety system on New Zealand’s tallest residential tower, giving facilities teams long-term safe access for window cleaning and maintenance.

Industrial plants
Factories and processing sites need safe, repeatable systems for staff and contractors. We deliver custom anchor and walkway systems that allow efficient ongoing maintenance while minimising risk.

Infrastructure
Bridges and transport assets require permanent safe access. Our systems provide compliant, durable solutions for inspections and repairs in difficult locations.
