Roof anchors are just what they sound like, they are simply anchor points. Sometimes for fall protection, sometimes to anchor equipment. Roof Anchors are commonplace in the window washing industry. Window washers descending a building side as they work will tie off to roof anchors. In window cleaning a minimum of two anchors will be used for each worker. One anchor will be used to support the worker directly tied back to their harness. Additional anchors will be used to support their suspended equipment.
