Do you or your employees have to work on the roof of your Sydney office building?

Are you well acquainted with the relevant requirements and legislation regarding working at heights on a commercial building?

In New South Wales, workers are entitled to working in a safe working environment. Your team deserves the systems and equipment to get back home safely each and every day.

Did you know that around 98% of all roofs in New South Wales are non-compliant in regards to current Occupational Health & Safety regulations?

The Work Health and Safety legislation requires employers to provide, “as far as is practical, systems that protect the health and safety of persons that are working on and around the site”.

Specifically, the Managing the Risk of Falls at Workplaces Code of Practice outlines that roof anchor points need to comply with the requirements of AS/NZS 1891.4 (Industrial fall-arrest systems and devices selection and maintenance).

For business owners in New South Wales, you should also be aware that SafeWork NSW expects roof anchor points to meet the strength and rigidity standards of AS/NZS 1891.4. The standard indicates that “the ultimate capacity of a single fall arrest anchorage point for one person is 15 kN or approximately 1500kg”.

What Are Roof Anchor Points?

Roof anchor points are an essential part of a roof safety system that provides an anchorage point for a worker to attach to the roof. By providing an anchorage point for a worker to attach their safety harness, ropes and other safety equipment, roof anchor points provide assurance and safety if a worker trips, slips or falls.

Anchor points come in a wide range of designs for tile, metal and concrete roof constructions. There are both temporary and permanent anchor points. Anchor points need to be tested to meet the requirements in AS/NZS 5532 in a NATA accredited laboratory. During the testing, the anchor points need to meet the minimum standards of ISO17025.

Where Should Roof Anchor Points Be Installed?

Roof anchors need to be installed in a location that reduces the potential fall distance for a worker. Only qualified technicians are allowed to install roof anchor points on commercial properties. They will assess the condition and construction of the roof to identify the ideal location to install the points, taking into account the intended and potential use of the anchorage points.

When Should Roof Anchor Points Be Certified?

The Managing the Risk of Falls at Workplaces Code of Practice explains that “anchorage points should be inspected in accordance with AS/NSZ 1891.4, either on a scheduled basis or prior to use, if used infrequently”.
