Anchor points
A fall arrest anchor point is an important part of any fall protection system. It ensures that workers at heights are protected from falls. A fall arrest anchor point acts as the fixed point where the fall arrest equipment is attached and must be strong enough to withstand the forces that occur during a fall.
Types of fall arrest anchor points
There are different types of fall arrest anchor points, including fixed and mobile anchor points.
Fixed anchor points
Fixed anchor points are permanently installed on a structure and are often used in places where work at height is regularly carried out. They are also often referred to as permanent anchor points. These anchor points may be bolted or welded to the structure and should be inspected regularly to ensure they remain safe and reliable.
Mobile anchor points
A mobile anchor point or anchor device is a flexible solution that can be moved and used at different work sites. It is ideal for temporary work or where it is not practical to install fixed anchor points. These anchor points can be designed to attach to a variety of surfaces, including steel beams, concrete structures, and even vehicles. A mobile anchor point allows workers to work safely at height without having to worry about finding a suitable fixed anchor point.
Fall protection anchorage
When selecting a fall protection anchorage, consider factors such as the maximum load it can support and the specific tasks being performed. The anchorage must be capable of absorbing the forces generated in the event of a fall, and it must be correctly installed and regularly inspected to maintain its safety and reliability.
