creating effective height safety solutions
With the
market place
becoming increasingly aware of the need for
employee protection when working
at heights, RIS is ideally positioned to
provide local and overseas industries with
practical solutions for any height safety, confined
space or rope access applications. RIS designs, manufactures and distributes an extensive range of tested
and standards compliant range of products, including
permanent anchor points, horizontal and vertical fall protection systems, aluminium and fiberglass ladders and walkway
systems, fall arrest retractable blocks (inertia reels), tripods and
winches for confined space, as well as having its own range of
Standards approved personal protective equipment (PPE).
RIS also have a comprehensive engineering workshop
and are able to design solutions and construct complex
structures to address height safety access issues. We are
therefore able to offer our clients a product and service portfolio
that will satisfy our industry’s stringent hierarchy of control, we
truly are a solutions provider.

practical, cost effective and compliant fall protection, confined
space or rope access systems in Australia and overseas.
The Hierarchy of Control
and our Product Range
For each building structure or access issue, hazard identi­
fication should be completed to determine the potential for risk
of injury, with solutions being determined within a four level
hierarchy of control.
Substitution
MEDIUM
Isolation
LOW
Fall Protection
Based on this assessment, RIS are able to offer a solution
tailored to your needs.
The RIS Strategy
Controls
At RIS, our actions are clearly defined;
Elimination
• We will only promote and manufacture compliant products,
equipment and services to meet the ever increasing demands
of the marketplace.
• We endeavour to act as a credible solutions provider
to industry and not merely as a distributor of products.
• We maintain strong relationships with our local and international suppliers to ensure that we offer the latest in height safety
technology and products available.
• An ongoing commitment to staff training ensures that our role
as solution providers is maintained throughout our business.
• When appropriate, our national branch network is utilised
to consistently and dependably service the needs of our national
client base. We call this our National Concept and find this
is the approach preferred by organisations with multiple sites
wishing to maintain a common safety strategy.
Elimination
HIGH
Products
Identified during our site audit process RIS would,
where possible, recommend the elimination of the
height safety risk through redesign.
Substitution
Also identified through our site audit process, if the
elimination of risk through redesign is not possible,
RIS would recommend the substitution of components, processes or systems.
Isolation
If substitution is not possible RIS would recommend
the isolation of worker risk through the use of
permanent edge protection systems (walkways and
guardrails).
Fall Protection If the risk cannot be isolated, RIS would then
recommend the use of fall protection equipment
(anchor points, harnesses, lanyards, vertical and
horizontal systems).
