Permanent Roof Anchor Point

A PE-stamped drawing is an engineering drawing signed and sealed by a licensed professional engineer. The stamp certifies that a qualified engineer designed the anchorage for the specific structure and loads and takes professional responsibility for that design. For a permanent roof anchor, the PE stamp is the document that proves the anchor meets the OSHA 5,000-pound strength duty or the engineered safety-factor-of-two alternative. It is the record a facility hands an auditor or inspector to defend the installation.

A davit arm is a curved or angled overhead support that holds an anchorage point out and above a work area, most often at a building edge for facade access, window washing, or confined-space rescue. It positions the tie-off point above the worker so the connection works for suspension or overhead arrest, and it can pivot or be removed from a fixed base socket between jobs. Tritech engineers the davit, its base, and the anchorage as one load path into the structure.

Under OSHA general industry rules (29 CFR 1910.28), fall protection is generally required at 4 feet above a lower level. Under construction (29 CFR 1926.501), the trigger is generally 6 feet. Different thresholds apply to specific situations, such as work near dangerous equipment or over openings. A roof anchor supports compliance wherever a worker is exposed to a fall at or above these heights and a passive guard is not feasible.
