Anchor Certification Testing Inc.

Why contact us ?

​

​The myriad of Standards which OSHA publishes, at times, may seem to conflict with one another.  It is our job to help wade through the rhetoric to provide our customers with a complete understand of applicable OSHA standards.

​

Our services are provided for both Building Owners and Contractors:

​​

- We will test and certify anchors for rope decent and fall prevention systems allowing your Company (Building Owner or Contractor) to be compliant with OSHA regulations.

​

- With the changes made in 2017 in CFR 1910.27(b)(1)(i) OSHA assigned liability to Owners by requiring annual testing / inspections of anchorage points and further requiring proving documentation.  

 

- OSHA went one step further in CFR 1910.27(b)(1)(ii) stating that these documents 'must be in the Contractors possession' while using the provided roof anchorages. 

​

Reduce a Building Owners Liability :

​​

- ACT will test, inspect and certify anchorages to conform with OSHA Standards.

​​​

FURTHER:  Physical testing is required for the initial certification and annual visual inspections are required for the next nine (9) years.  The 11th year, the process begins again with a physical and visual inspection and nine years of subsequent inspections.

​

- ACT will provide continuing services to ensure building roof anchorages remain in compliance.

Reduce a Contractor Liability while using Roof Anchors:  

 

OSHA Standard 1910.27(b)(1)(ii) requires proving documentation to be in the 'contractors possession' while they are using provided roof anchorages.

​

Our experienced personnel will work with your accounts to further their education and understanding of current OSHA standards and work to provide documentation to allow Contractors to perform their scope of work within OSHA standards.  

​

NOTE:  We do provide options for Fall Protection on buildings that do not have roof anchors.  Installed Roof Anchorage's are not the only option.Acc
