The Problem:
We’ve All Seen It
Solar panels being hauled up ladders.
Installers balancing panels overhead.
No mechanical aids. No real support.
We’ve seen it—and SafeWork has too.
As a business owner and tradie, I watched our team carry panels up ladders and thought, “This isn’t safe, and it’s only a matter of time.”
Every year, solar companies across Australia face investigations and hefty fines for non-compliance with workplace safety laws. Falls from height remain one of the leading causes of injury in solar installations.
Workers compensation claims are rising, good workers are lost, and businesses are forced to shut down due to unsafe practices.
Even if no one gets hurt, failing to meet SafeWork expectations can cost your business dearly.
