CASE STUDY

Height Safety System Installations - Mildura

Completed: October 2025
Sites: M1 Tyres and Sunraysia Petroleum, Mildura
Overview
FWSR Group was engaged by M1 Tyres and Sunraysia Petroleum to design and install fall arrest systems to protect maintenance personnel working on building rooftops. Both clients required a practical, compliant, and user-friendly solution that would allow workers to move safely and efficiently while performing tasks such as gutter cleaning, solar panel maintenance and roof inspections.

The challenge

Each site presented unique access and layout considerations, including multiple roof sections, limited anchor points, and areas of regular maintenance activity.
The goal was to design a continuous fall protection system that eliminated the need for workers to repeatedly unclip and reclip, while ensuring compliance with all relevant Australian Standards.

Our solution

After assessing both sites through on-site audits and system design consultations, FWSR Group recommended and installed static line systems. Unlike single anchor points, static lines provide continuous attachment - meaning workers remain safely connected while traversing the roofline.

This approach significantly reduces the risk of falls, improves efficiency, and enhances worker confidence when operating at height.

The installations were carried out by our Mildura-based height safety specialists, who completed the work safely and efficiently with minimal disruption to business operations.

Ongoing support and compliance

Following the installations, FWSR Group provided:
  • Comprehensive system certification and compliance documentation
  • On-site training for authorised users
  • Inclusion of both sites in our annual inspection and recertification program, ensuring ongoing compliance with AS/NZS 1891.4 and AS/NZS 5532

Our team also supplied height safety Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including harnesses, lanyards and connectors, all available through our in-house sales and certification service.

Results

  • Improved roof access safety and compliance
  • Continuous fall protection for maintenance staff
  • Reduced risk of fall incidents and downtime
  • Long-term confidence for building owners and facility managers

Key takeaway

These installations demonstrate FWSR Group’s end-to-end approach to safety, from design and audit through to installation, certification and training.
