Roof Anchor Inspection Procedure:

 

  • Review the current layout of your roof anchor systems for compliance
  • Provide an overview of rescue plan compliance
  • Look for physical damage like cracks, burrs, and deformation
  • Examine excessive corrosion that would affect strength or operation
  • Examine fasteners for tightness, corrosion, and damage
  • Examine welds to check for issues like corrosion, cracks, or other damage
  • Perform load testing to required specifications

Roof Anchors

It is the duty and responsibility of the Building Owner, and a mandatory requirement, to
have fall arrest equipment and roof anchors inspected by a competent person. Annual
anchor inspections are required to ensure continuous certification and avoid delay or
needless risk-taking when the system suddenly needs to be used. Some buildings
postpone the inspection of roof anchors until they have a project that requires the use of
them. That could be many years! It’s the law to have an inspection done every 12
months.
Five-year load testing of anchors is also required to verify the strength and operation of
each anchor.
