Roof anchor certification: what owners need to know

Roof anchors are small, easily forgotten, and safety-critical. An expired tag can stop every contractor from working on your roof.

What anchors do

Anchor points are the fixed points that window cleaners, painters, roof plumbers and rope access technicians connect to when they work at height. If an anchor fails, a person can fall. That’s why they must be installed correctly and inspected at regular intervals set by the relevant Australian Standard and the manufacturer.

Who is responsible?

Generally the building owner or owners corporation, usually through the strata or building manager. Keep the anchor logbook, installation certificates and inspection records together, and diarise the next inspection date.

What happens if certification lapses

  • Contractors may refuse to work on the roof until anchors are re-certified
  • Scheduled cleaning and maintenance gets delayed
  • Emergency repairs at height take longer to organise
  • You may be exposed if someone is injured using an uncertified anchor
