Fall protection

[Jc259]

I’ve searched here, but can’t seem to find a good thread, even from OSHA itself. I’m looking for compliant fall protection for roof cleaning, but am seeing mixed results on ‘ground tieoff’ in terms of compliance. Has anyone had an experience good/bad/ugly with fall protection using ground anchors (bumper D ring, ground weights, etc). I want to make sure I’m in compliance, but don’t want to use fixed anchors on a roof. Lots of architectural roofs in my area aren’t all accessible from a ladder and will require some walking.
Thanks!

Please recommend a safety harness to work on a steep roof

Hello friends. Pretty much what the title says, I am looking to learn about available safety harnesses that I can use while on the roof. How do they attach to the roof? Do I need to throw it over the peak and fasten to my truck? Do I need to attach an anchor to the roof and fasten to it? What are you professionals use? Thank you

PPE for Fall Protection

We need some feedback on what are the best recommendations of PPE for fall protection when roof cleaning. We have looked into the roof pole anchor with harness, lanyards, rope and guide rope also several other options but want to narrow it down to what our best options are and what guys are waring in the industry…Thank you!!

Fall prevention?

Hello everyone, new here but thought i would chime in. Here in vancouver, canada some peaks are just insane. We also got all types of roofs (tile, asphalt, metal, plastic, etc). Despite all different roofs, they almost all have something in common, they all have Roof Vents. Remove the roof vents and theres always a solid beam running across. Hook yourself there and you dont have to nail into the roof. This is specially good for tile roofs (you dont have to remove tiles to get to the wood to tie…

There is a whole topic on roof cleaning, with lots of posts about tie offs, systems, andd advice

It depends on your state . Some states allow you to install osha approved anchors and others don’t . In my state of FL only licensed roofers can install anchors nobody else

I have done soo many things wrong here, and so far with stuff I’ve worked on, so don’t worry. People on this forum have helped me a lot, and I plan on asking more questions.
