Overview

The Bailey edge type roof anchor is a temporary anchor point designed to be used with a fall arrest system such as a temporary lifeline. It is rated at 15kN and is intended for single person anchorage only. The anchor has been independently tested to AS/NZS 5532 and AS/NZS 1891, and it is built to sit at the edge of a roof where a working line can be attached.

Roof work is high risk, and an anchor point is the fixed end of the whole system. The edge type anchor is placed at the roof edge so a lifeline or lanyard can be attached to keep a worker away from the fall line. The listing is clear that anchor points should only be installed by competent persons who have received appropriate training.

What You Need to Complete the Job

Installation must be carried out by a competent person following the manufacturer instructions and relevant training.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much load can this anchor take?

The anchor is rated at 15kN, which is the stated rating on the listing. It is for single person anchorage only, so the system should be set up for one operator attached to this anchor at a time. Confirm the rating still suits your system design before use.

What standards does it meet?

The listing states the anchor has been independently tested to AS/NZS 5532 and AS/NZS 1891. AS/NZS 5532 covers roof anchor points, and AS/NZS 1891 covers industrial fall arrest systems, so the anchor is tested against the Australian and New Zealand requirements for both.

Can I install it myself?

The listing is explicit that anchor points should only be installed by competent persons who have received appropriate training. That means a trained installer should fit the anchor following the manufacturer instructions, because the anchor is only as strong as the way it is fixed to the structure.
