Types of Safety Roof Anchor Points

Single Anchor Point, or a series of single anchor points. Allows a person wearing a safety harness to attach their lifeline or lanyard too so that they can safely move into and work in the fall zone. The person is essentially attached to a single anchor point at any one time.

Static Lines are fixed horizontal cable, where a person wearing a safety harness, can attach to, via an energy-absorbing lifeline or lanyard and traverse up and down the line.

A Rail System is an overhead rail that a person wearing a safety harness can attach to via an energy-absorbing lanyard or inertia reel. In the event of a fall, this system will activate and arrest a 600mm limited free fall.
