What Saferight does

Saferight is an Australian family-owned Registered Training Organisation (RTO 5722) and height safety equipment manufacturer headquartered in Perth, Western Australia, operating for over 36 years since founding in 1990. The company delivers nationally accredited safety training across high-risk work licensing (crane operation, rigging, scaffolding, dogging), verification of competency, emergency response, confined space entry, working at heights, gas testing, fire safety, earthmoving machinery, and maritime sectors, alongside manufacturing fall protection and rope access equipment compliant with AS/NZS 1891.1. Its infrastructure includes four Perth metro training academies (Welshpool, Belmont, Fremantle, Midland), with the Welshpool facility described as Western Australia's largest practical training centre for mining and construction, plus a recently launched e-learning channel and on-site training delivery across the state.

The business operates across five distinct revenue streams: per-course training fees (ranging from $220 to $2,800 depending on complexity), safety equipment sales, on-site professional services (audits, standby rescue, incident investigation), access solution design and installation, and government-subsidised training facilitated through the Construction Training Fund (CTF) and CFMEU partnerships. The company's proprietary fall protection engineering capability is evidenced by landmark installations including the 2km Latchways cable system on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Vertigo Climb on Auckland's Skytower. The customer base is heavily weighted toward Western Australian mining, oil & gas, and construction enterprises, with named clients including Rio Tinto, BHP, Chevron, Monadelphous, MACA Mining, DDH1 Drilling, and Water Corp, alongside individual and SMB enrolments through self-serve online booking and group bookings.

Broad incumbents

• 3M: Global safety equipment manufacturer (including Capital Safety / Protecta brand portfolio) offering fall protection hardware at scale. Broader incumbent in the same fall protection equipment category as Saferight's manufacturing arm, but does not operate an RTO.
• Petzl: French global manufacturer of rope access, work-at-height, and rescue equipment (harnesses, lanyards, helmets, descenders). Competes with Saferight's manufactured equipment portfolio in the same product categories but does not deliver training.
• MSA Safety: Global safety equipment manufacturer that owns the Latchways brand — Saferight's stated technology partner. Provides comparable fall protection and rope access hardware internationally at much greater scale.

Direct peers

• Trainwest: Perth-based RTO delivering safety, high-risk work, and mining training across Western Australia. Direct local competitor to Saferight with similar target sectors and course mix, but without Saferight's equipment manufacturing arm.
• Vertical Horizonz: Australian rope access and height safety training provider with nationally accredited working-at-heights and rescue courses. Closely comparable specialisation to Saferight's signature height safety offering.
• Pinnacle Safety and Training: Major Australian safety training RTO offering high-risk work licensing, confined space, working at heights, and VOC courses nationally. Directly competes with Saferight in the same course categories and customer segments, with broader geographic coverage.
