Working at Height Equipment Testing
Working at Height Equipment Testing and GA3 Certification
Working at Height Equipment Testing is essential to ensure that all fall protection equipment remains safe, compliant, and fit for use. At ASA Safety Group, we provide GA3 Certification and thorough examinations of working at height equipment, including PPE, fall arrest systems, and access equipment. From the outset, our goal is to help reduce risk and ensure that all equipment performs correctly in critical situations.
Importance of Working at Height Equipment
Workers rely on fall protection equipment to reduce exposure to serious hazards. This includes items such as harnesses, lanyards, fall arrest blocks, and inertia reels. Although this equipment cannot eliminate the risk of falling, it plays a vital role in reducing the severity of injury.
For example, wearing a harness may not prevent a fall. However, it can significantly reduce the consequences, including serious injury or fatality. Therefore, ensuring that equipment is in good condition is critical for worker safety.
Inspection and Legal Requirements
Regular inspection is a legal and safety requirement. Working at height equipment must be thoroughly examined by a competent person at least every six months. In addition, inspections must follow manufacturer instructions, relevant legislation, and industry best practice.
Because of this, Working at Height Equipment Testing is not just a recommendation but a necessary step in maintaining compliance. Proper certification also provides assurance that equipment is safe to use.
Equipment We Inspect and Certify
We carry out detailed inspection and certification of a wide range of working at height equipment:
- All body harnesses, including single, dual, and multi-point
- Shock absorbing lanyards and non-energy absorbing lanyards (work restraint), including webbing and rope
- Climbing ropes

Each item is carefully assessed to ensure it meets required safety standards.
