(54) Fall arrest systems and anchor


(57) An anchor for a fall arrest or fall safety system, has a plate for securing to a structure which is formed to have an upwardly extending spine, the upwardly extending spine being provided with a pair of spaced securing formations such as apertures or holes. The invention provides a low profile anchor for use with containers, transportable units or other structures providing shear loading in the event of a fall arrest and also energy absorbing functionality by virtue of the plastically deformable nature of the spine of the anchor plate.
