NOTE The word anchor in this code of practice is used as a general term to describe, as a noun, a fitted or unfitted anchor device, or a structural anchor containing an anchor point and, as a verb, the act of connecting to a fitted anchor device or structural anchor. Various terms relating to anchors are explained in Part 1 by way of definitions and the accompanying Figure 1.1 in that part.2.7.9.1 Anchors are used via their anchor point(s) for the attachment of anchor lines (i.e. the working line and the safety line) to the structure or natural feature and also for other purposes, e.g. to reposition the anchor lines to avoid abrasion; to alter the direction of the anchor lines (deviation anchors); to maintain the anchor lines in their intended position; for the attachment of persons, either directly or indirectly. Anchors are fitted to anchorages at an anchorage point, i.e. the particular place on the anchorage used for the attachment of the anchor device.
