RISSafety Showcases Aluminium Handrails in Roof Access Projects

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASERISSafety Showcases Aluminium Handrails in Roof Access ProjectsSydney, NSW – 9 June 2026 – RISSafety, one of Australia’s leading height safety providers, is highlighting the role of aluminium handrails in safer, more practical roof access systems for commercial, industrial, logistics, emergency service and heritage environments.As asset owners and facility managers face increasing pressure to provide safe access for maintenance teams, HVAC contractors, solar technicians and roof service workers, permanent roof access systems are becoming a more important part of building safety planning. Aluminium handrails and guardrails can help define safe movement zones, protect workers around exposed edges, and support long-term compliance when integrated into a complete height safety system.RISSafety’s aluminium handrail systems are designed, manufactured and tested for use across a wide range of site conditions, including metal roofing profiles and concrete, timber and steel sub-structures. The systems are modular and installer-friendly, helping reduce preparation and installation time while supporting robust, practical protection for workers accessing elevated areas.Recent RISSafety project work demonstrates how aluminium handrails and guardrail systems can be applied across different Australian site environments.At K\&S Adelaide in Gillman, South Australia, RISSafety delivered a comprehensive roof access safety system for Vaughan Construction. The completed works included 10 compliant ladder systems, 100 anchor points and 130 lineal metres of aluminium guardrail around cool room live edges. The system helped create controlled access across multiple workshop, warehouse and cool room roof areas while supporting safer long-term maintenance.At the Gawler State Emergency Service Operations Building and Appliance Building in Willaston, South Australia, RISSafety designed and installed an integrated roof safety solution that included aluminium walkways, static lines, skylight crossovers, roof-to-roof stepladders and a 3-metre guardrail landing kit with a self-closing gate. This created a controlled zone for stepping on and off the roof while supporting routine gutter maintenance and solar servicing.RISSafety has also delivered safe access solutions for complex existing structures, including Hastings Deering’s historic Hangar 2 at Archerfield Airport. The project included an aluminium gantry section with guardrailing, portable ladder access and a self-closing gate, providing compliant access to the HVAC system while allowing the site to continue operating.A broader example of RISSafety’s aluminium access capability can be seen in its work at Mirvac’s Australian Technology Park in Eveleigh, Sydney, where RISSafety supplied an aluminium handrail and walkway solution for roof and skylight access across a major commercial building.“Aluminium handrails are often one part of a much larger safety outcome,” said a RISSafety spokesperson. “The best systems are designed around how people actually move through a site, what assets need to be maintained, and where the real fall risks exist. When handrails, walkways, ladders, anchor points and inspection processes work together, facility teams get a safer and more practical long-term access solution.”RISSafety provides end-to-end height safety support, including system design, engineering, manufacture, installation, testing, inspection and recertification. This allows builders, asset owners and facility managers to work with one partner across the full life cycle of their roof safety system.For commercial, industrial and public-sector sites, planned roof access can reduce reliance on temporary access measures and help maintenance teams complete routine work with greater confidence. From cool rooms and warehouse roofs to emergency service facilities, heritage buildings and high-rise commercial sites, RISSafety’s aluminium handrails and access systems are designed to support safer outcomes in the environments where they are needed most.Builders, facility managers and asset owners can learn more about RISSafety’s aluminium handrail systems and request a quote via the RISSafety website.About RISSafetyRISSafety is a national height safety provider specialising in the design, manufacture, installation, inspection and certification of height safety systems.
