Our services include a comprehensive testing process and the Certificate of compliance issued to your company. In case you need anchor point replacements, at JG Vertical, we offer top-quality anchor point installations, including annual maintenance and repair as needed.

Why is Anchor Point Testing Essential?

Anchor systems are an integral component of any rope access operation, providing workers with the primary means of support. It is vital to regularly inspect and test anchors to verify their strength and structural soundness. 

Engaging in regular anchor testing and certification offers numerous advantages for companies and workers, including:

• Safety Assurance
  Testing and certification to ensure anchor systems are reliable and meet safety standards.
• Risk Mitigation
  Regular testing helps identify potential issues or weaknesses before they lead to accidents or failures, reducing the risk of injury or property damage.
• Compliance
  By obtaining certification, companies demonstrate their commitment to safety and compliance with relevant regulations and industry best practices.
• Extended Lifespan
  With the proper testing and maintenance, organisations can help prolong the lifespan of anchor systems, maximising their efficiency and reducing the need for premature replacements.

JG Vertical – Anchor Point Certification Process

Anchor testing is an important step in ensuring the integrity and reliability of height safety systems. Our experienced technicians conduct extensive tests to evaluate the strength and stability of anchors in rope access and fall protection systems. 

Our process includes the following: 

Inspection & Testing

Our certified inspectors conduct detailed examinations to detect potential issues, identifying any signs of wear and tear, corrosion, or damage that may compromise the effectiveness of height safety systems. 

Our experts will also meticulously examine all components of the height safety system, including anchors, connectors, lifelines, and harnesses. We pay close attention to detail, ensuring that every aspect meets the required standards and regulations.

Later, for abseiling anchor point testing, we assess various factors such as load capacity, structural integrity, and suitability for specific applications. Our meticulous approach involves conducting non-destructive and destructive tests to ensure the highest level of safety.

Certification

We will certify your height safety system once you complete anchor testing and inspection. Our certification guarantees that your system complies with Australian safety regulations and industry standards. 

Our certification documentation includes detailed reports of the anchor testing and inspection results. We provide clear and concise information about the condition of your height safety system and the roof anchor points certification, highlighting any areas that require attention or maintenance. 

Maintenance and Repairs

In cases where repairs or maintenance are required, the JG Vertical team can address any issues to restore the integrity and functionality of the anchor points.
