Davit Arms and Needles Safety Systems

Davit Arm Systems



Ensuring safe work at height is critical in building safety design. A davit arm system is a versatile and compliant roof safety solution, designed for fall arrest, confined space entry, and personnel lifting. Whether for roof access, façade maintenance, or suspended work positioning, davit arms provide an efficient and engineered height safety solution.

A davit arm is a lightweight yet strong fall protection system, typically used for:

• Safe roof access and façade maintenance
• Fall arrest anchorage for working at height
• Confined space entry and retrieval systems
• Suspended work positioning for cleaning and maintenance

By integrating a davit arm system into your building safety design, you ensure compliance with the hierarchy of control for height safety, prioritising collective and engineered safety solutions over personal protective equipment alone.

Why Should You Use a Davit Arm for Height Safety?

Unlike fixed anchor points or temporary fall protection measures, a davit system provides secure, stable, and reusable height safety access. Key benefits include:

• Portable or Fixed Configurations – Choose from fixed davit arms for permanent installations or portable davit arms for flexible access solutions
• Efficient Roof Safety Solutions – Ideal for building maintenance, roof work, and façade access, ensuring compliance with safety regulations
• Fall Arrest and Work Positioning – Engineered to support both fall restraint and work positioning, meeting Safe Work Australia standards
• Durable and Corrosion-Resistant – Manufactured from high-strength aluminium or steel, davit arms withstand harsh outdoor environments
• Easy Integration with Safety Rail and Roof Access Systems – Compatible with safety rails, roof walkways, and access ladders, ensuring a comprehensive height safety solution

Choosing the Right Davit Arm System

Selecting the best davit arm system depends on the specific working at height requirements of your site. Options include:

• Fixed Davit Arms – Permanently installed for regular access needs, ensuring long-term building safety solutions
• Portable Davit Arms – Lightweight and removable for temporary applications, ideal for sites with multiple access points
• Confined Space Davits – Designed for manhole entry, retrieval, and rescue, meeting confined space safety regulations
• Custom-Engineered Davit Systems – Tailored davit solutions for unique building designs and safety requirements

Australian Standards and Guidelines for Davits

The primary standard governing davit arm systems is AS/NZS 5532:2013, which specifies the requirements for the design, performance, and testing of personal fall arrest systems and devices. This standard ensures that davit systems can withstand the forces experienced during fall arrest scenarios, providing a reliable anchor point for personnel working at heights.

Additionally, compliance with AS/NZS 1891 series is crucial, as it outlines the selection, use, and maintenance of fall arrest systems. This includes guidelines on harnesses, lanyards, and other components that may be used in conjunction with davit arm systems.

For rope access applications, adherence to AS/NZS ISO 22846 is required, focusing on the safety of industrial rope access systems. This standard provides guidance on the planning, management, and implementation of rope access work, ensuring that davit arm systems used in these contexts are fit for purpose.

At Safetylyne, we design, install, and certify davit arm systems that meet all relevant Australian Standards, ensuring both compliance and safety for your height access needs.
