RISSafety Upgrades Roof Safety Systems at Panorama Apartments in Perth

PERTH, WA – November 7, 2026 — RISSafety has completed a roof safety upgrade at Panorama Apartments for ESM Strata, replacing two noncompliant horizontal lifelines and adding fall restraint anchors. Completed within three weeks of the initial site visit, the project restored certified access for contractors working near the roof edge.

The replacement system was chemically anchored into the building's concrete tilt panel. After the anchoring cured, RISSafety load tested the installation, applied a compliance tag and certified the system for use. The works support roof maintenance, inspections and facade access at the Perth CBD property.

Horizontal lifelines allow workers to move along a work area while maintaining a connection to a fall protection system. The structure and its capacity to support the required loads inform the choice of fixings. RISSafety's horizontal systems can be installed on different building materials, including concrete and steel, with fixing options selected for the application.

For strata and facilities managers, the upgrade highlights the need to consider installed equipment alongside the way contractors use and maintain it. RISSafety's guidance on roof safety systems explains how equipment selection, fall protection planning and worker training contribute to managing work at height. Clear responsibilities connect the physical installation with procedures for everyday maintenance.

Height safety inspections also help identify equipment defects and inform decisions about maintenance and rectification. RISSafety's inspection services include asset records, photographs, condition reports and defect information. These records help property teams locate equipment, assess its condition and plan appropriate repairs or upgrades across their buildings. Documentation also gives maintenance teams a consistent reference when planning future work, so inspection findings can be considered alongside asset locations, operating instructions and the access needs of the people using the building.

Ongoing inspection remains part of managing a system after installation. RISSafety's fall protection inspection guidance covers checks before first use, periodic inspections and inspection immediately after equipment arrests a fall, together with the role of qualified personnel in anchor recertification. Inspection procedures should follow the manufacturer's instructions and applicable standards.
