  • Anchor systems must be inspected annually
  • Re-certification is required after re-roofing or renovations
  • Full re-certification must occur at least every 10 years

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires building owners to ensure all rooftop anchors and davit systems are safe for use.

Building owners must certify that each anchorage is capable of supporting at least 5,000 pounds in any direction for every worker attached.
