Why Roof Anchor Certifications Matter

Every building with rooftop access must provide workers with a safe and compliant fall protection system. Roof anchor certifications are the foundation of that safety. Without proper certification, rooftop anchors may not meet OSHA or ANSI requirements — leaving property owners and facility managers at risk of fines, liability, and workplace accidents.


At Expert Summit Anchors, we provide certified inspections, testing, and documentation so your rooftop anchors are always audit-ready and trusted by every worker who relies on them.


Understanding Roof Anchor Certification Requirements

OSHA and ANSI set strict roof anchor certification requirements to protect workers at heights:


  • Annual inspections are required to verify anchors are still safe for use.
  • Load testing every 5–10 years confirms anchor strength and performance.
  • Certification reports must be maintained as proof of compliance for audits and insurance.
  • Re-certification is required after anchor modifications, incidents, or structural changes.


By keeping certifications up-to-date, building owners demonstrate a proactive commitment to safety while ensuring their property remains fully compliant.


What Is Included in a Roof Anchor Certification

A roof anchor certification is more than just a visual review — it’s a comprehensive process that includes:


  • Detailed anchor inspections to check for corrosion, wear, or improper installation.
  • Anchor load testing to confirm anchors can withstand required forces.
  • Compliance documentation aligned with OSHA 1910 and ANSI Z359 standards.
  • Official certification report providing proof of compliance for audits and contractors.


This documentation not only satisfies regulators but also reassures workers and contractors that the rooftop anchor system is engineered for their protection.



Anchor Inspection, Load Testing, and Certification

To achieve full compliance, all three services must work together:


  1. Anchor Inspection – Identifies damage, corrosion, or improper installations.
  2. Anchor Load Testing – Verifies anchor points can handle the forces required by regulation.
  3. Certification – Provides official documentation that your anchors meet OSHA and ANSI standards.


At Expert Summit Anchors, we deliver all three as part of a single, streamlined service to keep your building safe and compliant year-round.


Benefits of Roof Anchor Certifications

Keeping rooftop anchors certified delivers more than regulatory peace of mind:


  • Worker Safety – Certified anchors provide reliable tie-off points for window cleaning, HVAC, and construction work.
  • Liability Protection – Prevents OSHA fines, insurance penalties, and costly lawsuits.
  • System Longevity – Identifies small issues before they become expensive failures.
  • Confidence for Contractors – Certified documentation assures crews they can safely access your rooftop.
