Ensuring the safety of workers at height is not just a regulatory requirement; it's a responsibility that protects lives. Proper fall protection systems, including certified roof anchorages, are essential for safeguarding contractors working on your building, such as window cleaners and maintenance crews.

Building owners must inform suspended maintenance contractors in writing that each anchorage point has been tested and certified to support the required load. This certification must be conducted by a qualified person. Additionally, building owners must ensure safe working conditions, including maintaining safe distances from building edges and providing fall protection at heights of 4 feet or more.
