ANCHOR POINTS

An anchor point is a specially designed eyebolt for use with a harness and lanyard fall protection or rope access system.

WHEN TO USE ANCHOR POINTS

Anchor points can be attached to a variety of surfaces and provide efficient fall protection and arrest for personnel conducting work at heights by preventing access beyond a fall edge.

Anchor point systems can be used for general restraint from a fall edge, maintenance of gutters and edge flashings, and inspection or maintenance of roof mounted equipment such as solar panels, antennas and skylights.
