Over the years Collins Corp Ltd have been designing and manufacturing Height Safety Roof Anchors for buildings throughout New Zealand.  The high standards of our products enable us to supply the following: PS1,PS3 and PS4 Producer Statements.

As recommended by the Department of Labour (DOL) and the AS/NZS:1891.4.2009 Standards a Certified Engineer should be involved with the design of Roof Anchor Points. We therefore have a close working relationship with Structural Engineering Companies nationwide. 

Because of Section:6 of the Health and Safety in Employment Act, Building Authorities around the country are now requiring Roof Anchors be incorporated in the design of buildings for Height Safety.

To ensure compliance with the building code, a PS1, PS3 and sometimes a PS4 are required.

2011 FALLS FROM HEIGHT

Figures released this year 2011 by DOL show it costs the NZ taxpayer an estimated $16 billion per year for work-related injuries.

• 48% of the injuries in the construction industry are caused by falls from height.
• 1/3 of work place fatalities are in the construction industry and 22% are from falls from height.
• 70% serious harm notifications were due to falls from temporary and permanent structures. ie: ladders,Roofs

 SAFETOR Roof Anchors can minimise the risks involved when working at height or abseiling. The installation of SAFETOR Roof Anchors can be the answer to Height Safety.

ROOF ANCHORS MAY BE NEEDED FOR RESCUE

 The minimum required loading for roof anchors set out in the AS/NZS 1891.4.2009 Standards is:

• One person   - 15kN
• Two persons  - 21kN
• Abseil anchor - 12kN

   This should help you better understand what a loading of 15kN and 21kN looks like If the roof anchors you have installed cannot support the weight of this ford or a Holden car then they do not comply to the Standards. 

We can now supply the Safetor Roof Anchors in a wide range of Roof Colours.

Roof Anchors should not only comply with the AS/NZS 1891.4 2009 standards but also the required Building Standards and codes of practice.

Safetor Anchors comply with the all the Standards:

• AS/NZS 1891.4 2009      ( Anchor Points)
• NZBC-Clause B2            ( Durability)
• BCA                            (Performance-based Building Code
• AS/NZS 1170                ( Structural Design Actions)
• AS/NZS 4600                ( Cold Formed Steel Structures)
• NZS 3604                     ( Timber Framed Buildings)
• NZS 3404                     ( Steel Structures)

All SAFETOR ROOF ANCHORS have been Approved by the New Zealand Safety Council and appraised by ACI Global who considered the anchors themselves and the technical information to be of a high standard.

SAFETOR Roof Anchors have been in use throughout New Zealand since 1997 and have been fitted to the following types of buildings:

• Houses
• Hospitals
• Rest Homes
• Schools
• Amusement Parks
• Commercial Buildings

Shell makes Safety Anchors mandatory.
"Four new fitted petrol stations, and a retrofit of 64 buildings for one large client, signal a ground shift in protection for construction and maintenance subbies." - Subby Magazine

SAFETOR Roof Anchors can be fitted to standard 4x2 trusses, providing more options for workers needing to use safety harnesses when working at height.

SAFETOR Roof Anchors are compliant with Australian and New Zealand Standards 1891.4:2009 covering Anchor Points.
