The right height safety system depends entirely on how a roof is used and how often people need to move across it. Here's how we assess that on-site.
Single anchor points
Best suited to roofs where work happens at fixed locations — servicing a single piece of HVAC plant, for example. Anchor points are cheaper to install and simpler to maintain, but they only protect a worker within a fixed radius.
Static lines
A horizontal lifeline system that lets a worker clip on once and move continuously along a defined path — ideal for roofs with multiple access points, gutter runs, or several pieces of plant spread across the roof.
How we decide
During the site survey (often supported by drone-mapped roof safety layout drawings), we look at:
- How many separate work areas the roof has
- How often the roof is accessed, and by whom
- The load rating the roof structure can support
- Budget and future maintenance considerations
Most sites end up using a combination of both — anchor points at fixed service locations, static lines connecting the main travel paths.
