Roof Anchor Requirements
Having a fall protection system in place on a commercial building is important for the safety of professionals who provide repair, replacement, and maintenance services on the roof. The rules and regulations from OSHA are strict on roof anchor installation to help ensure that the fall protection system will adequately protect roof workers from falls.
OSHA rule 1910.27(b) states that the responsibility of installing rooftop anchors falls on the owner of the building. These safety anchors must be able to support at least 5,000 pounds and they need to be inspected annually.
Property owners are required to provide contractors using their fall protection system with written proof that the roof anchors can handle 5,000 pounds of weight and that they have been annually inspected and certified. The company doing the work on your building will not allow their employees to use the fall protection system until you have presented them with the paperwork to prove that your rooftop anchors are compliant.

Our roofers will map out the proper areas for the anchors and remove the roof membrane and insulation in these spots.
After the membrane and insulation are removed, we will drill holes in the concrete deck to bolt the anchors.
The anchors are then bolted to the concrete roof deck with epoxy to help hold them in place.
The insulation and roof membrane are installed around the anchor to make it even with the surrounding membrane.
The roof membrane around the anchor is torched and sealed with caulk so that it is water resistant.
A watertight flashing is made around the anchor using a curb containing epoxy.
