Height & Access Consulting

The Unconventional Standard in Height Access Consulting

At Boundless, we specialise in height, access, and confined space consulting, delivering smarter, safer, and more efficient solutions for projects of all complexity — particularly where traditional approaches are costly, rigid, or ineffective. We take the unconventional route: expert planning, tailored systems, and innovative strategies that prioritise safety, compliance, and operational performance.

Our consulting goes beyond just access solutions. We work with organisations to strengthen their health and safety compliance under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA), helping PCBUs, officers, and workers meet their legal obligations while reducing risk across the board. From risk identification and method design to equipment specification and emergency planning, our services integrate safety, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance into every stage of a project.

We partner with clients to design and implement access methodologies, rescue plans, and safe work procedures across diverse environments — from high-rise buildings and industrial plants to challenging outdoor sites and confined spaces. We also advise on and integrate specialised systems such as compressed air breathing apparatus (CABA) for hazardous atmospheres, ensuring operations are both safe and legally compliant. By analysing risks, identifying optimal access solutions, and specifying the right equipment, we help organisations complete work safely, on time, and within budget.

Traditional access and confined space planning can be slow, disruptive, and sometimes non-compliant. Our approach streamlines the process, minimises downtime, and ensures operations continue with minimal impact. Whether it’s scaffolding alternatives, rope access integration, confined space entry, or complex rescue planning, our solutions are practical, compliant, and tailored to each unique site.

The Importance of Proper Planning

At Boundless, we know that safe and efficient height, access, and confined space work begins with robust planning. Under the HSWA, PCBUs and officers are legally required to ensure work is carried out safely and that risks are effectively managed. Our consulting ensures that these obligations are met while protecting workers, reducing operational risk, and embedding a culture of safety compliance.

Key elements of a proper plan:

  • Site & Risk Assessment: Identify physical hazards, confined space risks, and access challenges.

  • Access Methodology Design: Select the safest and most effective access solutions, including rope access, scaffolding alternatives, or hybrid systems.

  • Rescue Planning: Establish standby procedures, rescue equipment requirements, and emergency protocols.

  • Equipment Specification: Ensure PPE, rigging, and CABA systems are fit-for-purpose.

  • Training & Competency Verification: Confirm personnel are qualified, competent, and familiar with site-specific procedures.

  • Compliance Integration: Align processes with HSWA obligations, relevant regulations, and industry best practices to protect PCBUs, officers, and workers.

A well-prepared plan reduces downtime, lowers costs, and ensures regulatory compliance. At Boundless, we deliver practical, site-specific solutions that anticipate challenges — setting the Unconventional Standard for safe, compliant, and innovative access work.
