About Onyx.
Onyx is Newcastle’s only 100% local abseiling company. Our team are all locals too, which is why we mean it when we say- we have a vested interest in helping to maintain Newcastle as one of the prettiest cities in Australia, and the world. We have a committed team who take pride in Newcastle’s appearance from sparkling clean windows to freshly painted and restored building facades creating a perfectly polished city we can all be proud of. We take great delight in servicing some of Newcastle’s most iconic residential and commercial buildings and will continue to do so for many years to come.
Our team of highly skilled rope technicians are trained and certified under the internationally recognised IRATA (International Rope Access Trade Association) qualification system. Many of them have trade qualifications in other areas as well, enabling us to provide a range of specialist services. We believe it is important that our technicians’ skills are continually updated.
All work is carried out in accordance with NSW Workcover Authority Guidelines for Rope Access and the Workplace Health and Safety Act 2011. We adhere to the Australian Standards AS/NZS 1891 (Industrial fall-arrest systems and devices) and ISO 22846 part 1 & 2 (Industrial Rope Access Systems). Safe Work Method Statements are used for all jobs along with rescue plans, equipment logs/ gear checks and risk assessments.
Onyx is licenced to carry out repair works by the Office of Fair Trading (Lic# 297169C) and is covered with all necessary insurances including $20 million Public Liability, Workers Compensation Insurance, and Home Warranty Insurance (HBCF).
