How to secure safety ring on roof.
Here are a few of the key points.
Both permanent and temporary roof anchor points are available.
Anchor points are usually installed on the roof and are used to connect lanyards lifelines and other forms of tie off which prevent a worker from falling.
The safety hook at the end of the rope which runs over the sloping roof is connected to the sling.
Roof anchors can be as simple as a d ring connection or as complex as a complete lifeline system.
Throw rope with at least 700kg breaking strain right over roof.
Inspect the roofing harness for any damage put on the harness and adjust the shoulder straps make sure the d ring is upper middle part of the shoulder adjust the leg straps adjust the chest straps final adjustment for a fit snug but still allow for a full range of movement.
Always face ladder and keep 3 points of contact with it both feet and a hand on stile and don t overreach.
When on a roof you need to wear a harness connected to a securely anchored safety rope.
Using a sling a sling is a polyamide strap that is tied around a secure object at the opposite side of the work location on the sloping roof.
Inspect the harness and lanyard for loose stitching and worn webbing.
Adjust the harness buckles for a snug fit.
