Yes. Every EMFab system is designed, engineered, installed, and certified in alignment with the required SANS standards for height-safety equipment. Our team performs full load testing, pull testing, and documentation checks to ensure your anchors, lifelines, and access systems pass audits on South African construction sites.

We follow all relevant SANS standards for fall-arrest anchors, horizontal lifelines, walkways, guardrails, and access ladders. This includes verification testing, pull testing, structural load checks, and final sign-off by qualified personnel. All tests are documented with SANS-aligned inspection sheets and certificates for audit readiness.

Yes. Workers must be trained and competent to use any fall-arrest or height-safety system. We recommend accredited training through an approved provider, and we also provide on-site user briefings during handover to ensure your team understands system use, inspection basics, and emergency considerations.

If your anchors, lifelines, or ladders haven’t been inspected in the last 12 months, or if the installation lacks certified documentation, it may not be compliant. EMFab can perform a full assessment, test existing components, and supply updated certificates and logs to bring your site back into compliance.

Anchors, lifelines, and fall-arrest equipment should be inspected annually, as required by SANS standards. They must also be inspected immediately after any significant event such as a fall, storm damage, roof repairs, or structural changes. EMFab provides scheduled inspection reminders, digital logs, and annual maintenance services.

All EMFab systems carry a full workmanship and materials warranty, with coverage depending on the product type and environmental exposure. Warranty terms are clearly outlined in every quote and supported by certified installation documentation.

Absolutely. Our height-safety solutions are modular, allowing seamless expansion or retrofitting. Whether you need additional anchors, extended lifelines, or upgraded access systems, we can design add-ons that integrate with your current installation while maintaining full SANS compliance.

Yes. Every EMFab project includes installation records, test certificates, user manuals, inspection sheets, digital maintenance logs, and SANS-aligned documentation. These records are audit-ready and accepted by safety officers, principal contractors, and structural engineers across South Africa.

We manufacture using marine-grade stainless steel or hot-dip galvanised steel, depending on environmental conditions, corrosion risk, and client preference. These materials ensure long-term durability and compliance with SANS strength requirements.

We respond within one business day. If a site visit is required, we typically schedule it within 3–5 days, depending on your location. This fast turnaround helps contractors avoid delays and keep projects moving.

Our quotes include a full breakdown of the project scope:

• on-site assessment
• system design
• fabrication
• supply and installation
• testing and verification
• SANS-aligned certificates
• handover documentation
• optional maintenance and inspection schedules

This transparency ensures there are no hidden costs.

Small anchor installations are usually completed within one day. Larger projects, such as full lifeline systems, guardrails, walkways, or ladder installations, may take several days depending on roof access, weather, and structural conditions.

Yes. EMFab serves Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban, and most major regions across South Africa. We regularly work with national contractors, engineering firms, and facility managers on multi-site height-safety projects.

Yes. Retrofitting is one of our specialties. We design retrofit anchors, lifelines, walkways, and guardrails that integrate with existing structures while maintaining SANS compliance and minimising disruption to active sites.

Yes. We provide temporary horizontal lifelines for short-term work such as maintenance, repairs, or construction projects. This is a cost-effective solution when permanent installations are not required.

We collaborate with structural engineers, architects, safety consultants, and contractors to secure sign-off where required. EMFab manages the process to ensure all components meet the necessary structural and compliance criteria.

Yes. We assist with full fall-protection planning, including hazard identification, system layout, anchor placement, lifeline routing, and access considerations. This ensures your site complies with OHS requirements and SANS standards.
