Anchor points

Anchor points – Reliable anchorage and attachment points for work at height

A certified anchor point forms the fundamental basis of any personal fall protection equipment. It provides the vital interface for securely connecting safety harnesses and lanyards to a load-bearing building structure, concrete walls or steel beams. An anchor point system that complies with standards guarantees reliable force transfer in an emergency and protects teams working on roofs, masts and scaffolding from serious falls.

Frequently asked questions about anchor points (FAQ):

Question: Where are anchor points for fall protection used, which ones are suitable for working at height, and what should you look out for when selecting anchor points?
Answer: An anchor point is used wherever workers at height need to be protected against a fall – typically on flat roofs, on façades, on cranes or during the maintenance of industrial plant. Depending on the structure, either safety anchors permanently set in concrete or mobile textile slings in accordance with EN 795 are suitable for working at height. When selecting a fall protection anchor point, you should pay close attention to the load-bearing capacity of the substrate, compliance with the relevant standards and compatibility with your carabiners. Furthermore, every anchor point must be inspected once a year by a qualified person.
