Most people have no idea [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] what equipment keeps [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the window washers and construction workers from plunging to their death when doing their job. Fall arrest anchors are small devices that play a major role in keeping workers alive. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] There are many different kinds of roof anchors to be used in conjunction with the specific material it was designed to penetrate. Some anchors are temporary and others are permanent.
A roof can be made of slate, concrete tile and steel sheets. Sometimes the point of attachment must be something other than the roof such as a skylight frame or a truss. Some anchors are freestanding since they do not penetrate the material. The anchors must be attached to a strong, reliable point in or near the roof [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] that can be firmly penetrated by the anchor.
As more buildings are being built with more glass areas that will need washing many builders are incorporating the anchors. Many building owners are incorporating a permanent roof anchors system into the building during the construction phase. The anchors are part of a fall arrest anchor system where suspension lines can be used as [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] part of the system. The [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] system must be inspected by qualified inspectors.
There needs to be a cooperation between the construction company and architects. They must make certain that the system meets all required safety [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] standards and is the most appropriate for the work it will be providing safety for. Window washers in particular will be washing more windows and safety at such high altitudes must be scrupulously adhered to.
There are four ways window cleaners can do their job and the least expensive system is the belt and anchor system where the cleaner is able to pass through an open window, attaches a belt to anchors [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] that are located in the roof or walls of the building. Window washing equipment also includes a platform system allowing two people to work at the same time. There is a rope attached at either end [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] of the platform which runs through anchor bolts that are built into the roof.
It is cheaper to have the anchors embedded in the building than to have the window washers bring their portable anchor equipment which they will charge extra for. Due [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to an unfortunate accident in 1998 a young window washer fell to his death in Washington State. As a result the International Window Cleaning Association and the Building Owners and Managers Association [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] worked together to develop safety guidelines.
Building owners and contractors are advised to follow these standards to reduce the chances of future accidents taking place. There is a system of checks and balances set up where inspections and window cleaning project plans are prepared ahead of time. The guidelines cannot be enforced legally but are highly recommended.
Fall arrest anchor play a critical role in the safety of window washers as well as other workers needing a reliable anchorage system to do their work. Safety is the first priority and before installing any anchors the building owner should consult with the experts who can recommend the best anchors for the building. There are dozens of kinds of anchors and one does not want to make the wrong choice.
