Single anchor points for fall protection
One form of fall protection on flat roofs is the installation of single anchor points. Single anchor points are considered permanent fixtures on the roof. They are made of robust materials that can withstand sudden movements in an emergency. Roofers and maintenance personnel are secured by hooking their personal protective equipment to the anchor points using carabiner hooks..
Rope safety systems as fall protection on roofs
A rope safety system can be installed both horizontally and vertically. When installed vertically, it is suitable for use as fall protection on a ladder. When installed horizontally, a rope safety system is generally used as a restraint system on flat roofs. Two attachment points are connected to each other with a strong stainless steel rope and installed parallel to the edge of the roof. This provides the necessary safety when working on the roof and prevents falls.
Railing for fall protection on flat roofs
Another fall protection measure on flat roofs is the installation of a railing, also known as collective protection. Such a railing prevents people from getting too close to the edge of a roof when walking on it, carrying out maintenance work, inspections or installations. As a result, they are protected from falling from a height and can move safely across the roof.
