Important Safety Notice for Homeowners – Roof Anchor Point Requirement:

As part of our commitment to safety and compliance, we want to inform our residential customers about a regulation that has been in effect since 2017, as mandated by the Ontario Ministry of Labour. This regulation requires that any worker operating at heights greater than ten feet must be securely anchored to a fixed structure that can support their weight in the event of a fall. For residential properties, this typically means a permanent roof anchor or a structurally sound chimney.
 

If your home already has a certified anchor point, our technician will use it. If not, and your chimney is deemed safe for anchoring, we may use it instead. In some cases, if your chimney can be cleaned from the bottom, no anchor point is necessary. However, if none of these options are suitable, we will need to install a permanent roof anchor point.
 

The anchor point ensures the safety of our technicians when accessing your roof and chimney. It will be assessed at the time of service, and installation will only proceed if required.
 

Anchor Point Installation Details for Homeowners:

• One-time installation fee: $150

• The anchor point is permanent and can be reused during future service visits.

• You will receive documentation certifying that a roof anchor has been professionally installed. This certification can also be used for other services (e.g., roofing, maintenance, or construction), as all tradespeople are required to use proper fall protection equipment, including anchor points, when necessary.

If you have any questions about anchor points or this safety requirement, please contact us. We’re happy to provide further details.

Thank you for helping us maintain a safe working environment for everyone.
