Ensuring the safety of your workforce while working at height is paramount, and one crucial aspect of maintaining a secure environment is the regular compliance testing of Mobile Man Anchors. These portable, cost-effective solutions provide a safe alternative on roof areas where permanently fixed edge protection or safety lines are not feasible.
Mobile Man Anchors offer a flexible, portable solution for fall protection in areas where permanent edge protection or safety lines can’t be installed. Because these systems are relocated and reconfigured regularly, they are subject to wear, incorrect assembly, or damage. Regular compliance testing ensures they remain safe, functional, and legally compliant.
Under British regulations, mobile anchors should be tested at least every 12 months — though many industry bodies recommend a six-month cycle to proactively manage risk.
During compliance testing, we examine:
> Loose fixings or structural instability
> Dents, corrosion or structural alterations
> Condition of shock absorbers and critical components
> Rubber boots, protective covers, or other wear parts
> Integrity of anchor mounting points
> Scheduled Compliance Testing
We conduct full tests in line with BS EN 7883 and other applicable standards to assess the condition and safe use of mobile anchor systems.
> Preventive Maintenance & Minor Repairs
Where issues are identified, we correct them immediately — tightening, replacing components, or restoring protective elements to preserve function between major overhauls.
> Documentation & Certification
After the inspection, each anchor is tagged and accompanied by a detailed compliance report, documenting the condition, findings, and any recommended actions.
> Advice & Renewal Planning
We support you in planning future test cycles, understanding regulatory requirements, and implementing best practices for mobile anchor use, inspection, and rotation.
