Fall Protection Testing, Inspection & Certification Service

Altus Safety provides a full fall protection inspection, testing, certification and maintenance service for existing working at height equipment, including Mansafe systems & Latchways systems, and a full range of fall protection systems and safety line systems, too.

Whether you are managing a single location or have many sites across the UK, we offer the same professional standards to all of our clients. We provide fall protection inspections all over the UK from our Northern office in Cheshire and Southern office based in Reading.

Our inspection services ensure you’re fully compliant with BS EN standards and working at height regulations. We make sure that your systems are up to standard and that all personal protective equipment (PPE) is available on site for workers to use in conjunction with the fall protection systems put in place.

Meeting Compliance: Equipment Scope & Testing Schedules

We can check a full range of fall protection equipment, including safety harnesses, safety lines, man anchor devices, and more. If you have work equipment at your site designed to prevent personal injury and falls from height, then these systems and height safety equipment must be tested in regular intervals of 6-12 months by a competent person in order to protect your workers.

Our team of testing professionals will use specialist equipment that is calibrated to ensure that you maintain compliance with all relevant standards and regulations. You should have your working at height assets inspected prior to its next due date. This will vary depending on the system and its use.

For example, fall protection systems such as single point anchors and mansafe systems used for window cleaning or other high risk tasks will need inspection every 6 months. Edge protection equipment such as fixed guardrails requires less regular inspection – typically every 12 months. Check out individual system inspection information to know how regularly you require maintenance services.

Our Expert Process: From Thorough Inspection to Proactive Maintenance

Our approved and experienced engineers are familiar with the full range of fall protection products and manufacturers found in the UK. You can rely on Altus Safety’s expertise in testing every type of fall arrest equipment, including industry-standard systems like MSA Latchways and Mansafe, ensuring all equipment is fully compliant and ready for safe use when needed.

Following a thorough site visit, we ensure all fall arrest systems are clearly tagged and dated. We provide comprehensive certificates, detailed reports, and any necessary images to complete your fall protection inspection records, giving you full visibility and documentation.

If our inspection identifies any necessary repairs or improvements to your equipment, including Mansafe systems, we provide a clear, easy-to-understand report and estimate. To minimise disruption and cost, should a minor repair be feasible during the initial visit, our engineers will contact you immediately to seek agreement for the work while still on site. This proactive approach aims to prevent costly additional visits and ensures your system is operational much sooner.

Our ultimate goal is to ensure you remain compliant, your people are kept safe, and the integrity of your assets is maintained. We remove the stress and hassle of managing inspection schedules; our team will proactively contact you at least two months before any required inspection date recorded in our database.

We pride ourselves on our 100% height safety record and understand the critical importance of protecting workers from falls whilst working at height. Contact our team today to arrange your expert fall protection testing, inspection, or installation service.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s important to have your own inspection regimes on site. Before any fall protection system is used, you should instill in all your workers the importance of checking the system. This should be done before and after every use.

Some key things to look out for include:

  • loose fixtures
  • missing parts
  • obvious signs of damage
  • vandalism

If a worker finds anything that doesn’t look right, take the system out of action immediately and contact our team. We’ll arrange an inspection visit as soon as possible to address the issue and get your safety system back up and running.

We can assess the suitability and compliance of a full range of fall protection systems including:
