At Workplace Defender, we’ve worked with leading schools like Melbourne Grammar, Trinity Grammar, and Belmont High School to implement world-class height safety solutions. These schools are taking proactive steps to ensure their facilities are safe, compliant, and designed for long-term use.

Why Schools Need Height Safety Measures
Schools have multiple elevated areas that require routine access for maintenance, air conditioning servicing, and infrastructure upgrades. Without proper walkways, access points, and fall protection, staff and contractors are at risk of serious injury.
Key reasons schools are investing in height safety solutions:
Legal Compliance: Meeting Australian safety standards to avoid liability risks.
Risk Reduction: Minimising the chances of falls and workplace accidents.
Long-Term Cost Savings: Preventing legal and medical costs associated with accidents.
Reputation Protection: Demonstrating a commitment to safety enhances trust with parents, staff, and regulatory bodies.

Case Study Highlights: How Leading Schools Are Setting Safety Standards

With a growing campus, Belmont High needed a long-term height safety plan that could adapt to future expansions. Workplace Defender provided customised walkways, access hatches, and fall protection systems, ensuring safe rooftop access for maintenance teams.

✅ Trinity Grammar School – Balancing Safety with Heritage Preservation
Trinity Grammar required a tailored height safety solution that protected staff while maintaining the school’s architectural integrity. Workplace Defender designed and installed a discreet but effective height safety system, integrating seamlessly with the historic campus.
