Described is a multi-directional roof anchor. The anchor is shaped so as to progressively distort under sudden load. The anchor has a generally planar structure, in which a first fixing region for fitment, either directly or indirectly, to a roofing material is provided. The anchor also includes a second attachment region for attaching devices, apparatus or equipment to the anchor, and a third shock absorbing region provided between, and integral with, the first and second regions. The third region includes one or more shock absorbing portions, shaped so as to provide gradual or progressive absorption of a sudden load applied to the anchor. The absorption is provided either by the third region alone or the third region in combination with one or both of the other two regions. Advantageously, the anchor has the ability to absorb such load when applied to it from any direction.
