Watch Where You Put That! Anchor Connections
As we’ve previously discussed here, every point you choose to put a fall protection anchor on must be able to support 5,000 lbs. of pressure. Yes, even if you’ve got a couple of non-fatties on your crew.
What you may not realize is how many different places you can put an anchor. And if you weren’t aware, manufacturers now offer anchors for wood roofs, concrete roofs, concrete columns, steel beams, metal roofs… Hell, you can even get an anchor for railroad track!
Some of you may be saying to yourself, “No duh!” Well, not everyone reading this blog is as well informed as you… But keep reading, you may learn something.
For example, there is an anchor designed specifically for standing seam roofs… It’s called the uh… Standing Seam Roof Clamp.
Guardian offers an anchor that works with pre-cast hollow core concrete. That one would be referred to the Pre-Cast Concrete Anchor.
And that railcar anchor… It’s called the Railmaster Anchor.
We know it’s easy to get in an anchor rut. We, understand. But take a look at the wide variety of fall protection anchors that are available, one of them just may make your next job a hell of a lot easier.
