How to tie off on a roof.

Basically everyone falls under osha 1926 standard now. Roof anchors can be as simple as a d ring connection or as complex as a complete lifeline system. It replaces the old directive which allowed contractors to not tie off on certain things like setting trusses. Both permanent and temporary roof anchor points are available.

Don t pull yourself up by rope it is just there to save you if you slip. Steady yourself unclip harness from first loop and clip it onto second loop. Tie off or you better have the paper work required to back up what your doing. That all changes in june when this new directive goes into effect.

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. Once on roof reach further up rope and tie a second loop. Tie the adjustable sling around the tree and connect the sling with the rope in order to use the tree as a temporary anchor.
