Roof Fall-Arrest Anchor & Horizontal Lifeline System – EN795 Roof Safety Points

A guardrail protects the roof edge, but the moment someone needs to move across open roof areas away from that edge — chasing a leak, servicing plant, checking a chimney — they need somewhere secure to clip on. That's what a fall-arrest anchor point does: a certified, load-rated fixing that a harness lanyard connects to, turning an unprotected roof crossing into a controlled, restrained one.

This is a family of four distinct anchor and lifeline products spanning single fixed points through to a heavyweight freestanding anchor rated for multiple users, so you can specify the right level of protection for the roof type and the number of people working on it.

Key benefits

• Genuine EN795-tested anchor devices, not generic hardware repurposed as fall protection
• Options spanning a single lightweight roof-top anchor through to a 300kg freestanding multi-user unit
• Portable beam-clamp anchor needs no roof penetration on suitable steelwork
• Horizontal lifeline kit gives two users a continuous secure run rather than a single fixed point
• Every product genuinely distinct — not a re-badged accessory of another system

Suitable applications

Flat roof plant maintenance and access; standing seam metal roof access points; steel-framed industrial buildings with exposed I-beams; any roof where personnel need to work away from a protected edge. Always specify anchor type and quantity according to a documented risk assessment for the specific roof and task — this listing is a supply of certified hardware, not a substitute for a competent person's site-specific safety plan.

Specification

Certification references (EN795:2012 and equivalent) are as stated by the manufacturer/supplier for the specific device; always check the certificate and inspection record supplied with your unit and have installation and ongoing use signed off by a competent person, particularly for the freestanding and beam-mounted anchors.

Installation guidance

Anchor point selection, positioning and the resulting fall clearance distance must be assessed for your specific roof by a competent person before use — this is safety-critical work. This range pairs naturally with our freestanding roof edge protection guardrail kit for perimeter protection and our fixed roof access ladder with safety cage for the access route to the roof, giving a complete access-and-fall-protection package for a single site.

FAQs

Which anchor do I need?
It depends on the roof type, the number of users and whether you need a fixed point or a route to move along — the standing-seam anchor and horizontal line suit lighter single/twin-user tasks, while the freestanding and beam anchors suit heavier, multi-user or penetration-free requirements.

Does the freestanding anchor damage the roof covering?
No — it's a counterweighted, non-penetrating design specifically so it doesn't need fixing through the waterproofing layer.

Can I install this myself?
Fall-arrest anchor installation, positioning and commissioning should be carried out and signed off by a competent, appropriately trained person — this is not a general DIY task.

Do these come with harnesses and lanyards?
No — these are the anchor/lifeline hardware only; harnesses, lanyards and other personal protective equipment are sourced separately to suit your workforce and task.

How often does an anchor point need inspecting?
Fall-arrest equipment requires regular formal inspection per current work-at-height regulations and the manufacturer's schedule — keep the inspection record supplied with your unit up to date.

Ordering

Select the anchor or lifeline type that matches your roof and task from the options above. For multi-point installations across a large roof, order multiples of the appropriate type.
