Why height safety matters for telecommunications

Tower and telecom work is some of the most demanding height work there is. Workers climb high structures, move around them, and often work at height for extended periods. That calls for a complete system: a harness and fall protection to climb and work safely, rigging and lifting gear to move equipment, and a rescue plan for retrieving a worker from the tower. Get all three right and your crew can work at height safely and efficiently.

Plan the whole system, from access to rescue, before the climb.

How our telecommunications gear is different

We are an independent height safety specialist, and tower work is squarely in our field. So our telecom range is chosen for real-world performance, from brands we trust.

Everything is built to meet the relevant Australian Standards, and because we work at height and run rescues ourselves, we can help you cover the whole picture: climbing, positioning, rigging and rescue for tower work.

Build your setup with our tower workers harnesses, pole straps, rigging equipment, tower rescue equipment and harness kits.

How to choose the right telecom height safety gear for you

1. Start with the structure and task. Tower climbing, positioning and rigging each need different gear. Map what the job involves.
2. Cover climbing and positioning. You need fall protection to climb and a way to hold position to work hands-free.
3. Plan for rescue. Tower work needs a way to retrieve a worker from height. Make sure your setup includes rescue.
4. Ask us. Tell us the towers and work you do and we will help you build the right system.
