How to tie off on a roof.

Basically everyone falls under osha 1926 standard now. Steady yourself unclip harness from first loop and clip it onto second loop. 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.

That all changes in june when this new directive goes into effect. Now the rope runs over the sloping roof. 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. At this point there is no more use for the throwing line it can be disconnected from the rope.

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. Continue up roof in this way making sure you re stable before unclipping and re clipping.
