Fall Protection Anchor Points

From rooftop tip over posts to specialty vacuum anchors, we offer a wide range of rigid, tip-over style, and portable fall protection anchor points to meet the needs of different industries and applications. Single point anchors are cost effective and easy to use, making them an ideal fall protection solution for clearly designated work areas in which a wide range of motion is not required. Diversified Fall Protection offers custom engineered and pre-engineered fall protection anchors to meet your specific needs and budget.

Although fixed point anchors are commonly associated with rooftop and window washing applications, they are equally effective for in-plant machinery maintenance, aircraft inspection and repair, and more.  To ensure a fixed point anchor is suitable for your application, our engineers can perform an on-site visit to watch the interaction between your equipment, building, and personnel.  The end result of our turnkey service is a proper fall protection system that will provide years of safe and reliable service.

We are a complete turnkey provider of OSHA compliant fall protection systems and have years of experience designing and installing fall protection anchor points. Contact us for expert assistance with your fall arrest, fall restraint and fall protection requirements.
