Abseil anchors are fixed structural points designed to support ropes used for abseiling (rappelling) in construction, maintenance, and rescue operations. They are typically made of high-strength steel are installed on roofs, walls, or other load-bearing structures. Common types include anchor bolts, eyebolts, davit arms, and roof-mounted anchor points.
## Purpose
The primary function of abseil anchors is to provide a secure attachment point for ropes, ensuring the safety of workers performing tasks at height, such as window cleaning, façade maintenance, and inspections. They are designed to withstand dynamic and static loads, complying with safety regulations and industry standards. Proper installation and regular inspection are critical to ensuring their reliability in high-risk environments.
