A walkway 1 for installation on a roof, comprising a tread 2 for a user to walk upon, the tread being bounded along an elongate side by a toe guard 4, 5 having an elongate extent, and an anchorage (13, fig 1) for a fall restraint system. The toe guard may provide a location (12, fig 1) for the anchorage. The anchorage may be a sliding anchorage slidable along the extent of the toe guard or it may be a line running along the length of the walkway, which is mounted on the toe guard. The toe guard may be an elongate tube coupled to the tread; the tube providing the location for the sliding anchorage, wherein the anchorage is received in the tube through a slot and held captive within the tube, but it is slidable along the length of the tube. The sliding anchorage avoids unclipping and re-clipping when the walkway changes direction.
