Safety Equipment

Why safety gear matters for Australian HVAC work

Falls from height remain one of the biggest causes of serious injury and death on Australian worksites. For anyone running a business or supervising technicians, you must eliminate or minimise fall risks and, where hazards remain, provide suitable safety equipment and PPE as part of a broader WHS strategy.

This collection is built around real HVAC tasks: accessing rooftop condensers and packaged units, working from ladders or temporary platforms, crossing busy shared work areas and securing small parts and fasteners around plant.

It is not a replacement for engineered height-safety systems, safe work method statements (SWMS) or formal training – but it helps you put practical, job-ready safety gear in the hands of your team.

What you’ll find in this Safety Equipment range

Height safety harnesses & complete kits

Set up simple fall-arrest systems with full body harnesses and all-in-one kits such as the Safety Harness Fall Protection Kit and the Ferno Roofers Safety Kit (17-hs-dler-bp) . These combine harness, lanyard, rope grab, anchor and backpack so crews can grab one bag and head to the roof.

• Rooftop split-system installs and change-outs
• Plant deck and mezzanine service work
• Small construction and maintenance crews sharing gear between jobs

Always use harness kits as part of a properly designed fall-arrest or restraint system that meets your local WHS requirements and the relevant Australian and New Zealand standards for working at height.

Shock-absorbing lanyards & connectors

Shock-absorbing lanyards provide the critical link between your harness and an approved anchor. Options like the Shock Absorbing Working Fall Protection Lanyard w/ Hooks are compact and lightweight, with built-in energy absorption to help reduce the load in a slip or stumble.

• Short length for tight control of slack on ladders, roofs and catwalks
• Hook connectors for fast clipping to approved anchor points or lifelines
• Designed for restraint and fall-arrest when used in a compatible system

Check capacity, length and compatibility with your harness, anchors and site rules before use, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions every time.

Hi-vis safety backpacks for PPE & site gear

Hi-vis safety backpacks such as the Hi-vis 34 Litre Safety Backpack - Yellow are built to carry PPE, first aid and small tools while keeping your technicians visible on busy or low-light sites. Reinforced stitching, padded harness, hip belt and reflective tape make them suitable for daily HVAC and construction work.

• Van “safety kit” bag with glasses, gloves, respirators and first aid
• Rooftop pack for harness, lanyard, slings and anchor hardware
• Site-vis pack for supervisors moving between plant rooms and construction zones

For more hi-vis options, see the Hi Vis safety equipment collection .

Stainless safety lockwire & barriers

The Imperial Stainless Safety Lockwire range gives you a durable way to secure critical fasteners, pins and components around mechanical plant. Multiple diameters and dispenser sizes help you match the wire to the job.

Pair lockwire with Portacone safety barriers and other hi-vis gear to:

• Mark exclusion zones around roof hatches, fragile areas or open penetrations
• Separate temporary work areas from pedestrians and other trades
• Highlight trip hazards near plant platforms and access ways
