Anchor Points
Designing an effective anchor point system requires careful consideration of the structure, roof layout, access requirements, work positioning and the tasks that need to be carried out safely.
Our team has extensive experience in selecting and designing anchor point solutions to suit a wide range of buildings, structures and working environments. Anchor points can be used as part of a wider fall arrest or restraint system, or as strategically positioned access points for maintenance, inspection and other work at height.
NZ Access works closely with architects, engineers, project managers and building owners to assess the specific requirements of each project and determine the most suitable anchor point locations and system configuration.
We can provide system proposals and layout plans detailing anchor point locations, equipment specifications and installation requirements, along with installation and certification services to ensure the completed system is ready for use.

- Durable Construction – Stainless steel options designed for long-term performance in demanding environments.
- Single and Multiple User Options – Models available for one or two users, depending on the product specification.
- Retrofit Capability – Selected anchor points can be installed on existing structures where suitable.
- Custom Engineering – Bespoke solutions can be developed with our engineering team to meet specific project requirements.
- Flexible Product Selection – A range of designs and configurations to accommodate different installation requirements.
- System Compatibility – Options can be specified for use with compatible fall protection and rope access equipment.
Anchor points play an important role in providing secure attachment locations for a range of fall protection and work-at-height systems. Depending on the application, they can be used to prevent workers from reaching a fall hazard, minimise the risk of a fall or provide support while carrying out work at height or accessing difficult-to-reach areas.
Common applications include:
- Fall Arrest – Provides an anchorage for compatible fall arrest equipment designed to stop a worker following a fall.
- Fall Restraint & Total Restraint – Used with compatible equipment to restrict a worker's movement and prevent them from reaching an edge or other fall hazard.
- Work Positioning – Supports systems that allow workers to maintain a stable working position while carrying out tasks at height, where the system is designed and configured for this purpose.
- Abseiling & Rope Access – Provides anchorage for suitable rope access systems used to access elevated, vertical or otherwise difficult-to-reach work areas.
Different anchor point designs are available to suit a variety of roof types, structural materials and installation requirements.
- Surface-mounted anchors
- Standing seam roof anchors
- Membrane roof anchors
- Timber truss-mounted anchors
- Steel purlin-mounted anchors
- Through-bolt anchors
- Concrete-mounted anchors
- Cast-in anchors
- Chemical-set anchors
- Low-profile anchors
The correct anchor point and fixing method will depend on the structure, substrate, intended application and manufacturer’s specifications. NZ Access can help assess your requirements and identify a suitable solution for your project.
