The Ultimate
Point of
Attachment.
We engineer, inspect, and certify the fall protection anchorages that keep people safe at height — built to the letter of O. Reg. 213/91, tested to 5,000 lbs of force, documented for every audit.
The foundation of workplace safety at height.
Rooftop anchors are only as reliable as their last inspection. Under Ontario's Occupational Health and Safety Act and O. Reg. 213/91, every anchorage must be identified, tested, certified, and capable of supporting 5,000 lbs of force. Annual inspections and ten-year certifications aren't optional — they're the law, and the difference between a compliant fall protection system and a liability.

Still uncertain about your anchors? We perform on-site reviews to evaluate safety standards and design a customized fall protection system for your building.
An anchor inspection evaluates anchor points for visible damage, corrosion, and signs of wear, ensuring they meet the roof anchor inspection requirements outlined by the Ontario Ministry of Labour and other safety organizations. Skipping an annual inspection can lead to unsafe conditions, increased liability, and legal consequences — and employers may not use suspended systems without written confirmation that anchors have passed inspection.
Roof anchors should be inspected at least once annually by a qualified professional to ensure they meet safety standards and remain in good working condition. O. Reg. 213/91 also mandates a comprehensive certification by a qualified person at least every ten years. More frequent inspections may be required depending on usage, environmental factors, or regulatory requirements.
Under the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act and O. Reg. 213/91, building owners and employers must ensure that all anchorages are identified, tested, certified, and maintained to support 5,000 pounds. An anchorage is a secure point of attachment for equipment such as lifelines, lanyards, deceleration devices, and rope descent systems.
Load testing is essential for certification because it confirms each anchor performs as installed — not just as designed. A written document with recommendations and any necessary modifications ensures compliance and safety. Building owners must inform employees once testing is completed and certified.
