Project Spotlight: Ensuring Safe Roof Access for an Iconic Hotel

At Workplace Defender, safety isn’t just a priority—it’s a commitment. Recently, we partnered with Vibe Hotel to ensure their building’s roof access complied with Australia’s height safety standards while maintaining the architectural integrity that their guests have come to love.

The Challenge: Balancing Safety with Aesthetics

Vibe Hotel is well-known for its sleek design and modern amenities. However, the existing roof access systems needed an upgrade to meet today’s stringent safety regulations. The hotel management wanted to ensure that their maintenance team could access the roof for routine inspections and services without risking their safety but compromising the building’s iconic look.

The Solution: Tailored Height Safety Systems

Workplace Defender’s team conducted a thorough on-site inspection to assess the risks and requirements for safe roof access. We worked closely with the hotel management and architects to ensure our solution was functional and blended seamlessly with the building’s design.

Here’s how we approached the project:

  • Non-Invasive Roof Walkways: We installed custom-designed roof walkways, strategically placed to allow safe access to key service areas without the need for major structural changes.
  • Vertical Access Ladders: To minimise visual impact, we used sleek, vertical access ladders that reduced fall risks while aligning with the building’s aesthetics.
  • Fixed Safety Rails: Our team added fixed safety rails around the roof perimeter, powder-coated to match the hotel’s exterior colours, ensuring long-lasting protection that doesn’t detract from the hotel’s visual appeal.

The Outcome: Safety and Design in Harmony

Thanks to Workplace Defender’s tailored solutions, Vibe Hotel now has a compliant, safe, and discreet roof access system that maintains the hotel’s architectural vision. The hotel’s maintenance team can now perform their duties without concern, knowing that they are protected by industry-leading safety systems.
