Roof anchor point requirements
Roof anchor point requirements are all about safety: protecting our team, you, your building or structure, and members of the public.
In NSW, there are a number of requirements that must be met to ensure anchor point safety, particularly at heights.
Workplace health and safety
First of all, you must consider workplace health and safety. This is very important in any workplace, but especially in one with an elevated level of risk, like ours.
As such, Abseilers United always adhere to workplace health and safety legislation and recommendations to make sure our workplace—and yours—is as safe as it can possibly be.
So, when you need work done at heights that requires anchor points, make sure you choose a company that puts safety first.
Australian standards
Australian standards are a set of guiding principles to make sure that people are working to a minimum uniform standard.
Due to the nature of our work, things like roof anchor points come with numerous obligations under Australian Standards.
Australian standards help prevent dangerous falls when working at heights. In reality, this can be the difference between a minor fall, and a major fall that leads to serious injury, or even death.
You can find out more about which Australian Standards relate to roof anchor point requirements on our blog post, ‘Do your roof anchor points meet Australian Standards?’
Quality products
Another important aspect of using roof anchor points is product quality. Therefore, we use the highest quality roof anchor point systems and check these regularly to ensure they are flawless.
