Permanent anchorage systems

Permanent anchorage systems

Working at height poses a risk of falls and hazardous injuries that, in more extreme cases, may lead to disabilities or even death. In order to prevent such situations, OSH regulations require employers to provide appropriate safety equipment such as permanent anchorage systems which include fixed anchorage posts and points.

Types of anchorage systems

 

Anchorage systems are supposed to make it easier for employees to secure themselves with a rope to a fixed anchorage point. A variety of anchorage posts and points installed in compliance with the regulations are perfect for this purpose. Anchorage systems can be grouped in four categories - horizontal, vertical, rope and rail. Each of them is intended to prevent falls and minimize the risks of potential injuries.

 

Products in our offer are designed to create permanent anchorage systems suitable for roofs, chimneys, masts, towers and other similar elements. They are configurable and, depending on the type, intended to protect two or three employees. It’s also possible to customize the systems so that they support larger groups of people at the same time.

 

Certified anchorage systems offered by Protekt

 

Each permanent anchorage system should meet specific requirements which guarantee that it’ll provide employees with the right level of protection. Protekt offers components made of aluminium, steel and plastic which comply with Polish and European standards. In our store you can find anchorage posts manufactured from hot-dip galvanized steel with a wide base that makes them suitable to be mounted on roofs, terraces, platforms and beams. We also provide a wide range of anchorage points that can be used as personal protective equipment ideal for lifting loads.

 

Our anchorage points are made of stainless and cast steel. They come with accessories such as bolts for mounting in concrete or trapezoidal sheets.

 

Advantages of Using Permanent Anchorage Systems

 

One of the main benefits of permanent anchorage systems is their availability. Unlike temporary or portable anchorage points, permanent systems provide a constant, reliable anchor that workers can connect to at any time during the job. This feature significantly increases the safety and efficiency of sites.

 

Moreover, installing a permanent anchorage system helps employers comply with health and safety regulations, avoiding high penalties and promoting a safety-first culture. These systems are particularly effective in environments where frequent or prolonged work at heights occurs, such as construction sites, industrial facilities, and maintenance operations.

 

Choose the Right Anchorage System for Your Needs

 

Selecting the proper anchorage system depends on several factors, including the type of structure, the number of users, and specific work conditions. Horizontal systems are primarily used along roof ridges or beams, allowing users to move sideways while secured. Vertical systems, however, are suitable for ladders or towers, providing continuous fall protection during ascent and descent. Rope and rail systems offer flexible anchorage solutions that are adaptable to various scenarios.
