What roofsafe does

RISSafety is an Australian privately-held height safety solutions provider operating a one-stop-shop model that spans safety access system design, specialised engineering and fabrication, on-site installation, and ongoing compliance inspection, certification, and audit services. Its physical product range encompasses 16 distinct engineered system categories — including roof anchor points, horizontal static lines, aluminium and fibreglass walkways, aluminium handrails, Saferail and Strongrail rail systems, davit arms, facade access, ladder systems, safety stairs, gantries, access hatches, custom platforms, and safety nets — complemented by a PPE e-commerce catalogue of harnesses, lanyards, inertia reels, rope grabs, karabiners, and temporary anchor points.

The company targets enterprise and institutional customers across 13 named verticals: HVAC installation, solar installation, building and façade maintenance, facility management, mining, oil and gas, public utilities, commercial and residential towers, transport, telecommunications, infrastructure, defence, and stadiums and arenas. Named customers span CBRE, Coca-Cola, Crown, Deakin University, Grocon, Honeywell, Knight-Frank, Mercedes-Benz, Thiess, ALDI, KFC, Pepsi, Cushman & Wakefield, Becon Constructions, Blundstone, and Adelaide Oval. The firm claims over 60 years of collective industry experience and 30,000+ system installations completed.

Revenue is generated through three streams: bespoke engineered system sales installed under multi-year contracts (one-time capital revenue), recurring inspection, certification, and audit services (recurring professional services revenue), and standalone training plus consumable PPE sold via e-commerce. The go-to-market combines a consultative enterprise field sales motion delivered through 10 Australian branch locations (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Hobart, Mackay, Darwin, Canberra, Townsville) with national coverage extending into New Zealand and overseas, supported by industry association memberships (FMA, HIA, MBA NSW, MBAV) and compliance platform partnerships (BROWZ, CM3). The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications and WAHA Gold Member status.
