Anchor points: Planning by specialist personnel

When planning anchor points, you must adhere to certain regulations. The DGUV and the manufacturer's specifications stipulate the distances to the edge of the fall and between the individual anchor points. Anchor devices are required as fall protection from a fall height of 3 metres. Entrust the planning of anchor points to our trained staff to ensure that your roof area is properly secured. In addition to planning, we also take care of the installation, testing and maintenance of the anchor points. This means you get everything from a single source.

Planning the right anchorage system for your flat roof

Would you like us to take care of planning your fall protection system? Then you can choose between 5 different anchorage devices in accordance with DIN 795. Once we have received your plans, we will review them and work with you to determine which anchorage device is right for you. The following options are available:

1. Single anchor points permanently attached to the flat roof:
2. Temporary anchor points
3. Anchor points for rope safety systems
4. Anchor points for rail safety systems
5. Anchor points held in place by their own weight

Safe distance from the edge when planning anchor points

When planning anchor points, it is important to maintain a distance of at least 2.50 metres between the anchor devices and the edge of the roof. This minimises the risk of falling, especially in the corners of a flat roof. For fall heights of over 17 metres, the DGUV recommends a distance of 5 metres from the edge when planning individual anchor points. Additional individual anchor points in the corners at a distance of 2.5 metres from the edge further minimise the risk of falling. Ideally, the distance between the anchor points should be 7.5 metres.

DGUV equipment classes: Planning protective measures

There are four different equipment classes to ensure safety on a flat roof. The planning of single anchor points falls under equipment class one. In order to find the right equipment class for your flat roof, we take into account, among other things, who will be walking on your flat roof and, above all, how often it will be accessed.

The right technology for testing

Professional and non-destructive leakage detection and moisture measurements using our certified measuring methods help avoid cost-intensive renovation work and extend the service life of your flat roof. The majority of roof surfaces can be tested with pinpoint accuracy using our methods.

Equipment class 4

Fall protection in public spaces

Fall protection systems in this equipment class must be designed in accordance with public building regulations to enable access to roof areas. These include, for example, roofs of underground car parks or roof terraces. In public spaces, railings and parapets are generally used as fall protection.
