Annual Height Safety Re-Certification

Keep your roof safety systems inspected and on record

Buildings with roof anchor points or fall arrest systems generally need annual inspection and re-certification by a professional height safety specialist. CRM can assist through the experience of Connected Roof Safety, so the same contractor who understands your roof access can also help keep your height safety systems documented and up to date.

Anchor points, static lines, roof ladders, walkways and guardrails are there to protect anyone who works at height on your roof, from gutter cleaners and trades to your own maintenance staff. Over time, fixings loosen, components corrode and systems fall out of date. A regular inspection and re-certification confirms what is still serviceable, records pass or fail outcomes where applicable, flags defects and sets a next inspection date so the responsibility does not slip. Most gutter cleaning businesses cannot do this work. CRM can, which means fewer separate contractors to coordinate for the same property.

What's Included

What an annual fall arrest re-certification can cover

CRM can assist with inspection, testing and reporting across the common parts of a commercial roof safety system. The exact scope depends on what is installed on your site.

Inspection & testing

  • Anchor point inspections
  • Anchor testing
  • Static line inspections
  • Roof ladder inspections
  • Walkway inspections
  • Guardrail inspections
  • Harness and PPE inspection where required

Reporting & records

  • Fall arrest system reports
  • Pass or fail outcomes where applicable
  • Defects identified with photo evidence
  • Practical, plain-language recommendations
  • Next inspection dates noted
  • Separate rectification quote where appropriate
  • Documentation to keep on file for your records

Important: CRM cannot promise that all systems will pass re-certification. Where a component does not pass, the outcome is recorded clearly with defects, recommendations and a separate rectification quote where appropriate. Repairs are not included in the re-certification.

Who It's For

Suited to commercial and managed properties

Fall arrest re-certification suits organisations responsible for buildings where people access the roof and where annual records matter. CRM focuses on commercial and managed properties, not one-off domestic work.

Schools Body corporates Councils Facility managers Commercial properties

Often the same visit can take in related roof access work. CRM can pair re-certification with commercial gutter cleaning and roof condition reports, so several annual requirements are handled together rather than booked separately.

Why It Matters

An overdue system is a risk to everyone who accesses the roof

Anchor points and fall arrest systems only do their job if they are serviceable and current. A system that looks fine from the ground can still fail under load if a fixing has corroded or the structure behind it has moved. Keeping inspections current protects the people who work on your roof and keeps your records in order.

If you are unsure what is installed, a roof condition report can document the roof and its access points first, then re-certification follows on what is found.

FAQ

Fall arrest re-certification questions

How often does a fall arrest system need re-certification?

Buildings with roof anchor points or fall arrest systems generally need inspection and re-certification at regular intervals, commonly each year, by a professional height safety specialist. The exact interval can depend on the system type and how it is used, so we confirm timing for your site and provide a next inspection date with the report.

Will every system pass re-certification?

No. We cannot promise that all systems will pass. Anchor points and fall arrest systems can fail inspection or anchor testing due to corrosion, wear, damage, poor fixings or missing documentation. Where a component does not pass, we record a clear outcome, note the defect and provide recommendations, including a separate rectification quote where appropriate.

What does CRM inspect during a re-certification?

Through the experience of Connected Roof Safety, CRM can assist with anchor point inspections, anchor testing, static line inspections, roof ladder inspections, walkway inspections and guardrail inspections, plus harness and PPE inspection where required. You receive a fall arrest system report with pass or fail outcomes where applicable, defects, recommendations and next inspection dates.

Can a gutter cleaner re-certify our anchor points?

Most gutter cleaning businesses cannot. Anchor testing and fall arrest re-certification need a professional height safety specialist. This is a key CRM point of difference. Backed by the roof safety experience of Connected Roof Safety, CRM can clean gutters and assist with height safety re-certification on managed properties, often coordinated around the same access.

Does CRM repair failed anchor points?

Repairs are not included in the re-certification. Where defects are found, CRM provides clear recommendations and a separate rectification quote where appropriate. CRM is not a structural engineering consultant and does not provide structural certification unless separately arranged.

Can you do this on the same visit as gutter cleaning?

Often, yes. Because CRM understands commercial roofs and height safety, related work can be coordinated around the same access. Many sites pair re-certification with commercial gutter cleaning and roof condition reporting to reduce the number of separate contractors.
