Abseiling Anchors

Abseiling Anchor Points & Systems

Abseil systems are a requirement for tasks such as cladding maintenance & window cleaning. Having an effective, and most importantly safe, abseiling system is a must.

Depending on the height of a building and access issues such tasks can only be approached from above on an abseiling system, rigged in such a way that a worker is always safe and in control.

At Altus Safety we have expertise in a range of façade access systems, and we can advise on the best system for your situation, as well as designing, installing and maintaining the abseil system and anchor points to BS8610.

Abseiling Anchors & Systems Compliant with Safety Regulations

Abseiling anchors allow trained rope access personnel to work safely and should be designed and installed to BS8610. These abseiling systems should only be used by fully IRATA trained rope access personnel.

They can be used on a variety of different roof and wall types, meaning they can be extremely cost effective in comparison to BMU systems.

The abseiling ropes can be protected from the edge of the building using specialist mats meaning less chance of abrasion..

Regular Maintenance of Abseil Anchors is Essential

As with all fall protection equipment and fall arrest systems, these abseiling systems must be inspected before and after every use by a trained user. They must be inspected and tested by a suitable ‘working at height’ specialist company a minimum of every 6 months.
