OSHA Rooftop Anchor Testing and Certification

OSHA Regulation 1910.27(b)(1)(i):

Before any rope descent system is used, the building owner must inform the employer, in writing that the building owner has identified, tested, certified, and maintained each anchorage so it is capable of supporting at least 5,000 pounds (268 kg), in any direction, for each employee attached. The information must be based on an annual inspection by a qualified person and certification of each anchorage by a qualified person, as necessary, and at least every 10 years.

North Star Engineering is not only qualified to conduct these tests, we are also able to provide approved engineered solutions for any anchors that may fail the test procedures, as well as inspection services for the implementation of these solutions. From start to finish, we are able to provide building owners with everything they need to ensure their rooftop anchors are safe for use.
