Roof Anchor Points Melbourne

Understanding Roof Anchor Point Systems 

There are two principal uses for roof anchor points. 

First, the fall arrest system, intended to act during an incident where a worker falls freely, it ‘captures’ them in mid-air, preventing a descent to a lower level. 

Second, the rope access system, which is applied for fall safeguarding in areas where usual techniques are not feasible, such as at elevated positions. This setup permits workers to scale, lower, and move across ropes while being suspended by a harness or seated in a work chair. 

Installation of Roof Anchor Points 

At AHSS, we guarantee that all our fall prevention systems comply through the expert installation of high-quality Sayfa products. 

The Sayfa Group’s products are deliberately designed and engineered to exceed the Australian height safety standards and regulations.  

Australian Height Safety Services provides competitive pricing for roof anchor points. The prices displayed on this page are only indicative. For an accurate quote for your premises, get in touch with our team. 

Our anchor points are designed for two primary functions, each with its own pricing structure. The prices for our roof anchor points are: 

• Fall arrest systems are priced around $200 per anchor point. 
• Rope access systems usually cost between $300-$350 per anchor point. 

As every installation is tailored to meet the specific height safety compliance needs of different premises, a typical setup often includes around 14 anchor points, along with various other height safety systems. 

The cost of roof anchor points can be influenced by several factors, including: 

• The inclination of the roof 
• The type of roofing material used 
• How easily the roof can be accessed 
• The location of the premises 

Roof Safety Harnesses 

Australian Height Safety Services integrates Sayfa roof safety harnesses alongside roof anchor points. A fall arrest harness must balance flexibility and comfort to permit full mobility while securing the wearer. We ensure our harnesses are entirely adjustable for an exact fit and constructed from high-quality synthetic webbing, offering durability and practicality.

3Sixty Roof Anchor Point System 

Description  

The Sayfa 3Sixty system offers a revolutionary roof anchor point design with an energy-dissipating swivel eye that prevents the possibility of snap hook disengagement, ensuring even force distribution over the anchor plate. This advancement allows users to move freely and safely perform maintenance on roof peripheries, gutter systems, edge flashings, and mechanical equipment installed on roofs.  

Functionality 

• The eyelet’s ability to rotate 360 degrees simplifies usage and eliminates the risk of snap hook disengagement 
• With its energy-dissipating design, the eyelet minimises pressure on the user and the roof framework during a fall, facilitating its use on structures of lighter build 
• The anchor plate, made from stainless steel, includes multiple anchorage points, providing even weight distribution 

Construction Details 

• Constructed with high-grade, profiled stainless steel for the base plate and swivel eye 

• The dome’s profiled design ensures the eyelet can rotate without impacting the roof’s structural elements 
• Installation is flexible, accommodating various roof slopes and allowing for both screw and rivet fixings
