Posted By Stevie A Housing Association have recently 'inherited' numerous properties that have roof anchors fitted (they have been unable to locate previous inspection records). Due to the high costs involved they have decided to inspect anchors on an 'as needs' basis. Without going into detail they have systems in place to ensure that any anchors used by their contractors have been tested / checked to the required standards at least 12 months before use (contractors also carry out their own pre-use checks). Their concern is that anchors that have not been inspected / tested are used by persons outwith the control of the Housing Association (e.g. A contractor / individual used by a tenant to fix a satellite dish / TV aerial). They are considering notifying tenants that anchors should only be used by their contractors but obviously have no way of ensuring that this information is passed on. Have had an interesting discussion with colleagues about legal position in the event of a roof anchor 'failing' when being used by a 'non Housing Ass. contractor' and would welcome any comments.
