Premier Anchor Installation and Certification in Sydney
Reach great heights safely with expert anchor point installation and certifications from Sydney and West Painting and Rope Access.
As a commercial and strata painting company, you will often find us working on roofs and the sides of buildings. To do that efficiently and safely, we rely on sturdy anchor points to reach those high-up places. Anchors are crucial in our line of work, but they can also be unsafe. Outdated, damaged, and non-compliant anchors all pose risks to those relying on their support.
Our anchor installations, however, ensure employees and contractors can perform their duties safely and properly, minimising risks and downtime. Contact us to schedule a consultation.
Roof Anchor Installations
At Sydney and West Painting and Rope Access, we’re proud to deliver high-quality anchor installation solutions to customers across Sydney. Experts in height work, our technicians are IRATA Level 3 qualified, ensuring we install every anchor point to the highest standard. Our team has experience working across a range of structures and properties, including:
- Residential
- Commercial
- Strata
- Industrial
Once we’ve secured and tested your new anchor point/s, we’ll provide you with a Height Safety Certificate demonstrating the system’s regulatory compliance.
Our Anchors
We install two types of anchor points, each fully compliant with AS/NZS 5532:2013 and AS/NZS 1891.4 standards. Our anchors include:
AA402
The AA402 anchor has been purposefully crafted for the rigours of industrial rope access (abseiling) and is capable of bearing a fall arrest load of up to 15 kN when used in conjunction with an appropriate personal shock absorber.
Allfit360
The swivel eye bolt is a robust solution designed for swift and hassle-free installation across a versatile range of applications, including both steel and timber structures. It includes the 2mm thickness variant, which is tailored exclusively for fall arrest purposes, ensuring safety in environments where vertical anchorage is paramount. Meanwhile, the more substantial 3mm thickness option is adept at catering to both abseil and fall arrest usage, providing the necessary durability and strength required for more demanding safety applications.
Yearly Inspections and Ongoing Maintenance
In Australia, anchor systems must be inspected by a certified professional annually. Additionally, loading bearing systems should be tested before each use to ensure they are safe for working at heights. At Sydney and West Painting and Rope Access, we offer regular anchor inspections and maintenance solutions to ensure compliant and secure workplace operations. We offer:
Anchor Pull Tests
Let us assess your anchor’s holding capacity to ensure it will keep you safe and elevated when working at heights. Our hydraulic pull tester effectively checks anchor performance and durability. With it, we can accurately determine load capacity and identify potential issues before they arise. Once the test is complete, we’ll provide you with a detailed report of our findings. Our anchor pull tests examine:
- Anchor strength
- Load capacity
- Displacement (how the anchor moves during use)
- Anchor type suitability
- Condition of base material
- Installation quality
- Environmental suitability
Roof Anchor Certification
Businesses have a duty of care to their workers and must do everything in their power to minimise health and safety risks. Our team can attend your worksite and examine your anchor points for compliance, ensuring they are functional and safe for operation. If anything is amiss, we can sort that out for you, too, finding a solution to correct or enhance your fall safety systems. We also tag and date all certified anchors, demonstrating their safety and compliance.
Requirements for certification include:
- Strength
- Reliability
- Safety
- Position
- Permanence
- Purpose
Anchor certificates are valid for 12 months.
Anchor Recertification
You must renew your anchor certificate every 12 months to remain compliant and protected. This must be carried out by certified professionals who can ensure your operations are legally compliant under Australian Standards and Industry Codes of Practice. At Sydney and West Painting and Rope Access, our recertification experts conduct a series of tests to analyse anchor integrity.
We look at things such as:
- Each system component
- System design
- Installation
- Anchor and surface condition
- Weight-bearing capacity
The Importance of Safe Anchor Points
Did you know that NSW continues to report the highest number of workplace fatalities in the country? When it comes to anchor points, a ‘she’ll be right’ attitude just won’t do.
It’s critical to ensure all anchors are safe, sturdy, and compliant with Australian Standards. They must be reliable enough to withstand fall forces, reduce fall distance, and prevent swing-fall injuries. Anchors without these capabilities put workers at a higher risk of accidents or death.
Additionally, workplaces that fail to install safe anchor points open themselves up to SafeWork investigations, hefty fines, and in some cases, prosecution.
Don’t risk it. Ensure your anchor points are safe and compliant with professional installation and certification by Sydney and West Painting and Rope Acess.
