Balmore Group delivers statutory working at height compliance testing, safety audits, and independent certification across all commercial and industrial properties in Scotland.
Operating out of our head office in Glasgow, our dedicated compliance experts ensure that your facility complies completely with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) codes, the Working at Height Compliance and Regulations 2005, and relevant British Standards (BS EN).
The Risk Framework of the Work at Height Regulations 2005
As a facility owner, landlord, or operational director, the legal responsibility for height safety rests squarely with your organisation. The Work at Height Regulations 2005 mandate that every high-level activity, from a simple gutter clearance or standard light change to a full industrial roof repair must be systematically planned, properly risk-assessed, and executed by certified professionals using fully verified equipment assets.
Failing to meet these standards carries serious liabilities, including criminal prosecution, significant regulatory fines, and the invalidation of corporate insurance policies. Balmore Group acts as your compliance partner, translating complicated safety legislation into simple, actionable maintenance routines.
Statutory 12-Month Audits, Load Testing, & Asset Logging
Height safety assets including Mansafe cables, single-point anchor pots, fixed ladders, and abseil points cannot simply be installed and ignored. They require mandatory independent inspection and physical load testing at least once every 12 months (and every 6 months for equipment used in rope access or personal lifting setups).
Our specialist testing engineers track your systems, manage seasonal asset testing schedules, and perform multi-point diagnostic safety audits:
• Hydraulic Structural Pull-Testing: Applying calibrated stress loads to physical fixings to verify concrete and metal substrate hold.
• Asset Integrity Logging: Producing comprehensive digital asset logs for each tracking point, anchor node, and security fastener across your facility portfolio.
• Dynamic Remediation Engineering: If a system fails an audit, our combined engineering and maintenance divisions deliver immediate repairs, tracking re-alignments, and system recertification.
Independent Height Safety Consultation & Risk Assessments
Beyond validating physical hardware, our compliance consultants provide complete document support. We construct comprehensive site-specific Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS), define safe operational capacity limits, and deliver clear height access safety mapping. Our professional oversight ensures your business maintains an audit-ready compliance profile, keeping your facility safe, verified, and completely legal.
With a single partner managing everything from mandatory annual load testing to immediate structural repairs, keeping your facility compliant is no longer an administrative burden—it is an automated standard of operational excellence.
