Work safe. Stay anchored.
RECERTIFICATION
American Anchor recertifies roof anchors, davits, tie-backs, monorails, horizontal lifelines and other fall protection and suspended access systems nationwide, including systems installed or manufactured by others.
Schedule an inspection
OSHA 1910.27, ANSI/IWCA I-14.1 and ASME A120.1 require building owners to have anchorages inspected every year and recertified by load testing at least every 10 years, or every 5 years for adhesive (chemically fastened) anchors. Recertification is also needed after a re-roof, renovation, repair, or any damage or change to the system.
A visual inspection of every anchor and component, proof load testing, a written report, and a certification for your records. Anchors that fail are tagged out of service.
We track when each building's next inspection and recertification is due and reach out well ahead of time, so your system stays current.
We engineer, manufacture and install the repair or replacement, then recertify the system, with no hand-off to another contractor.
More than 3,400 clients rely on American Anchor for recurring inspections and recertifications.
