Abseiling Anchor Points & Abseiling Systems

Abseiling Anchors & Abseiling Systems Compliant with Safety Regulations

Our abseiling anchors allow trained rope access service personnel to abseil safely and are designed and installed in accordance with BS EN 795: 2012 A, BS 7883 2019.

These abseiling systems should only be used by fully IRATA trained rope access personnel. Our IRATA industrial rope access equipment allows access to confined spaces at high levels to help with building maintenance.

Our fall protection systems can be used on a variety of different roof and wall types, meaning they can be extremely cost effective in comparison to BMU systems when performing building maintenance on tower blocks or other high level buildings. All our Fall Protection systems are compliant to British Standards.

Our abseiling ropes and abseiling systems can be protected from the edge of the structure using specialist mats reducing the chance of abrasion.
