Temporary or permanent anchors?

When roof access is occasional, a solar clean, gutter clearing or an annual service, permanent anchor points can be hard to justify: they need engineering into the structure and they stay with the building whether they are used or not. A temporary anchor installs for the job at hand and comes off the roof with the worker.

The Kattsafe Spyda is rated to 15 kN for single-person fall arrest, designed and tested to AS/NZS 1891.4 and AS/NZS 5532, and comes in screw-fix and clamp versions, with the clamp option made for clip-fix roofs. It is lightweight, relocates in minutes and is sold as a complete set.

An anchor point is one part of a fall-arrest system. A rated harness and lanyard, a rescue plan and trained users complete it, and what your site needs comes from your own risk assessment. Our working at heights resources page links the Safe Work Australia guidance to start from.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between temporary and permanent roof anchor points?
Permanent anchors are engineered into the building and stay there; temporary anchors install for the duration of a job and come off with the worker. Both need upkeep: Kattsafe requires 12-monthly inspection and certification of its temporary anchors by a competent height safety inspector, and they carry a 10 year service life. For occasional access the temporary option usually stacks up; if trades are on the roof every week, a permanent system is worth pricing.
What are Spyda temporary anchors rated to?
The Kattsafe Spyda is rated to 15 kN for single-person fall arrest, designed and tested to AS/NZS 1891.4 and AS/NZS 5532. It is a fall-arrest anchor only, not rated for rope access.
Which version do I need, clamp-fix or screw-fix?
The screw-fix version fastens with self-drilling tek screws, while the clamp version is made to mount to clip-fix (concealed-fastener) roofs. Kattsafe specifies that suitability and the fixing method be assessed by a competent person before installation, so check your roof before ordering.
Is a temporary anchor point enough on its own?
No. An anchor is one component of a fall-arrest system: a rated harness and lanyard, a rescue plan and user training complete it, and the setup should come from your own documented risk assessment.
