The Importance of Davits and Davit Arms in Safe Roof Access Systems
When it comes to height safety and fall protection, Davits and Davit Arms are among the most effective solutions for roof access and suspended access work.
At Workplace Defender, we design and install engineered davit systems that not only meet compliance standards but are practical and safe for everyday use.
What is a Davit System?
A Davit is a structural arm that extends over an edge—typically used to support a fall arrest or rope access system. When paired with a Davit Arm, it allows workers to safely suspend themselves over the edge of a building or roof without compromising on safety or mobility.
These systems are essential for:
- Window cleaning
- Façade maintenance
- High-rise inspections
- Safe descent operations
Why Choose a Davit Arm System
Unlike fixed anchor points, a davit arm offers versatility:
• Can be relocated across multiple sockets
• Keeps the system off the working edge
• Reduces trip hazards
• Ideal for complex or multi-storey structures
Our davits are manufactured to comply with Australian Standards and are customised to suit the architectural and access needs of each building.
